A sports blog by and for Midwest Sports Fans
Hosting Saturday Night Live last night was former cast member Jimmy Fallon and Michael Buble. If you have no idea who Buble is ask your mother or your aunt, and they will tell you everything you need to know about him. “He’s like a young Sinatra, and he’s so handsome.”
As you have surely heard by now, Jake Delhomme is back in the NFL. But no matter where Delhomme goes, now or at any time in the future, to me he’ll always be Bojangles’ Defender of the Fresh Biscuit.
Maske at Upprox put it right: “I’d love to tell you I have even a semblance of a clue as to what the hell is going on here and provide you with some comforting guidance. But I can’t.”
In honor of The Muppets, which opens today and which still has a perfect 100% rating on Rotten Tomatoes, I’ve compiled every “Muppet Sports” sketch (hosted by Louis Kazagger) from The Muppet Show (1976–1981), which is the first show I can recall watching religiously every week.
Congress recently slipped through a law requiring anyone who maintains a sports blog to post at least one Tim Tebow-related item every single day. Luckily, I recently stumbled upon two relatively entertaining videos that will fill today’s Tebow quota.
Check out this animated GIF that shows one of the Redskins coaches performing one of the most WTF play or formation calls in NFL history.
Jerod has no idea where this picture comes from, or whose toilet/bathroom setup this is…he just knows that he must have it.
I couldn’t watch yesterday’s post-game incident between 49ers’ coach Jim Harbaugh and Lions’ coach Jim Schwartz without being reminded of this 1996 sketch from Mr. Show With Bob and David. It’s a 7-minute sketch, and the similarities don’t become clear until about 6 minutes in, but it’s worth the watch (if only because Mr. Show was awesome).
This image, found at a post entitled “11 Accidentally Dirty Baseball Pictures” just may be the funniest baseball photobomb ever caught on camera. (Also: a bonus picture of Randy Johnson about to do ungodly things to a pole!)
Falcons fans – at least four them anyway – have their struggling quarterback’s back, support that they manifest with quite possibly the lamest fan headgear in NFL history. Here are…the Iceheads!
Anyone who appreciates clever satire and a well done, succinct spoof will enjoy this trailer for “Too Much Moneyball”.
As always, the @SI_Vault Twitter account is tweeting out compelling photos this morning (which is why you should be following them). Just a few moments ago, a pic of Matt Cassel and Todd Haley having a…discussion…was tweeted out that I found to be quite funny.
I’m not a Red Sox fan or a hater, but I watched the whole thing and thoroughly enjoyed it. What a great, great night of baseball. Wow.
Falcons defensive coordinator Brian Van Gorder was none to pleased when Corey Peters jumped offsides to give the Tampa Bay Buccaneers a game-clinching first down yesterday. So why, in the aftermath of the mistake by his defense, did he decide to scream about his fitted hat?
