Be Careful How Loudly You Watch Rocky…The Police Might Show Up

Unless you want unexpected knocks on your day, you might want to be careful how high you have the volume turned up while watching Rocky.
It’s a slow sports day, so here is a video of professional bowlers freaking out on fans and eachother
February 8, 2012 By Leave a Comment
As the Wednesday after the Super Bowl typically seems to be, today is a slow sports day. The collective media is catching its breath and recharging its batteries after a hard-working and perhaps even debauchery-filled week in Indianapolis, and with only mid-week regular season NBA, college hoops, and NHL games going on, there isn’t a whole lot to get worked up about.
And speaking of getting worked up…
Video: Trailer For New Spiderman Movie ‘The Amazing Spider-man’ with Andrew Garfield and Emma Stone
February 7, 2012 By 1 Comment
I am a big Spiderman fan. He is my second favorite superhero after the incomparable Batman, who I simply find far and away more compelling than any of the other mainstream superheros (which are really the only ones that I know).
And the new storyline for Spiderman looks pretty compelling, and I have high hopes for Andrew Garfield (he of The Social Network fame) taking over Tobey Maguire’s role.
But let’s be honest: what I’m most looking forward to about the new Spiderman flick is Emma Stone. I do very much enjoy her work.
Video: Tom Brady Safety First Scoring Play In Super Bowl 46
February 5, 2012 By Leave a Comment
If you had a safety as the first scoring play of Super Bowl 46, you are likely just now done jumping around in celebratory bliss.
Because, amazingly, that’s exactly what the first scoring play was tonight.
Tom Brady, on the Patriots’ first play from scrimmage, dropped back into his own end zone and fired it down the center of the field. The only problem is that no receivers were in the area. That’s a safety folks.

Tom Brady’s Quote Before Super Bowl 42 (“We’re Only Going To Score 17 Points?”) Continues To Live In Infamy
February 4, 2012 By Leave a Comment
Super Bowl XLVI is tomorrow, in case you were not aware.
As usual, by Saturday pretty much every angle of the Super Bowl has been picked apart, dissected, twisted inside and out, and we have all reached the stage of fatigue where we pretty much stay away from football today before totally immersing ourselves in it tomorrow.
But it hit me today that one video clip I thought I’d see a lot of this week, but that I’m not sure I’ve seen even once on TV – granted, I haven’t watched too much Super Bowl coverage on TV – is Tom Brady’s infamously smug response to Plaxico Burress’ score prediction before the first Patriots-Giants Super Bowl four years ago.
The 13 Best Super Bowl Plays of All-Time
February 1, 2012 By 56 Comments
Flash back about 15 years.
That was a time before my children had single-handedly decimated my social life. I was out at a bar with several buddies, when one of my cronies boasted “I am going to make over $500,000 this year. That puts me in the top 2/10 of 1% of earners in the United States. That makes me truly elite.”
I came to two conclusions that night. First, this guy is a tool. And second, I now define “truly elite” as the top 2/10 of 1%.
With that in mind…
Super Bowl 46 Drinking Game
February 1, 2012 By 10 Comments
Watching football is good for three things: drinking, gambling, and having something to do on Sunday nights.
Thankfully, Super Bowl Sunday is the perfect combination of all three.
And what fun is it to just sit around and drink casually on your own terms? Why not have a little fun with it?
Super Bowl 46 Point Spread and Over-Under for New England Patriots v New York Giants Holds Steady
January 31, 2012 By 1 Comment
ALL the way back on January 23rd, I posted the initial point spread and over-under for Super Bowl 46 between the New England Patriots and the New York Giants.
At that time, the Patriots were favored by three points, which seemed reasonable considering that they were the more consistent team during the season and most bettors still probably trust Tom Brady more than Eli Manning whether they still should or not. The over-under was initially set at 55.
In the week since, we’ve heard various ominous reports of Rob Gronkowski’s high ankle sprain, and I’ve personally heard far more pundits and analysis predict a Giants victory than a Patriots victory. I figured these two elements would combine to cause most bettors to bet on the analyst favorite and the team not likely to be playing with one of its biggest weapons gimpy, especially when said team – the Giants – is getting points.
But apparently that hasn’t happened.

Awesome Video: Herm Edwards, Michelle Beadle Dancing To The Twin Cats On SportsNation Set
January 31, 2012 By Leave a Comment
As you know if you’re been following me on Twitter, one of MSF’s contributors since the very beginning – Nicholas Gerlach – is having quite the Super Bowl experience.
His band The Twin Cats was chosen as the house band for ESPN’s show SportsNation, hosted by Colin Cowherd and the wonderful Michelle Beadle. One of the band members just posted this video from yesterday’s taping. It features Herman Edwards losing himself in the midst of The Twin Cats’ face-melting funk, and then pulling Beadle onto the dance floor with him.

When I woke up this morning and popped on the TV, the first thing I heard was, “Twitter it exploded last night! Find out why next.”
My first thought was that Rob Lowe had said something provocative. Then I had an awful thought that maybe someone had gotten injured, sick, or worse…but I immediately was reassured by the tone of voice of the speaker.
No, this wasn’t a negative Twitter explosion. It was a jubilant.
And then I found out why.
And oh me, oh my.
The Top 5 Best and Worst Super Bowl Halftime Shows of the Last Decade

The halftime show at the Super Bowl is second only to the commercials as the most talked about event that is not the actual game. In this post, we remember the iconic halftime show that started it all and then count down the five best and worst of the past decade.
Video of Bill Belichick making PBJ disproves theory that nothing good game out of his tenure in Cleveland
January 24, 2012 By Leave a Comment
The New England Patriots are in the Super Bowl. It will be the fifth time they have participated in the Big Game with Bill Belichick as their coach, yet another bullet point on his Hall of Fame-ready resume.
Belichick is known for being a defensive wizard. He earned such a reputation as Bill Parcells’ defensive coordinator, cemented it by stopping the “Greatest Show on Turf” for his first Super Bowl win, and has maintained it despite the Patriots becoming much more offensively oriented over the last several seasons.
The only true black mark on Belichick’s resume is his tenure in Cleveland. Belichick went 36-44 and made just one playoff appearance. However, to anyone who says his tenure in Cleveland was a waste of time, I present the following video as evidence to the contrary.

Your first thought after listening this video will be, “Wait, this only has 3,693 views?” (Unless, of course, the number has grown significantly by then, as making the front page of Reddit can do.)
