Cooking with Bill Belichick Time

It’s Super Bowl time again and with the New England Patriots heading to the Super Bowl for their fifth time under head coach Bill Belichick.

And that means it’s time to pull out Bill’s best video clip ever. No, it’s not him cheating or yelling at reporters or dancing at a local nightclub, even though the last one would be funny. Instead it’s an embarrassing clip of Belichick from his Cleveland days where he was unsuccessful at coaching the Browns but very successful at making his signature BBPB&J sandwich.

That stands for Bill Belichick’s Peanut Butter and Jelly sandwiches and it’s time to dust off this classic again to celebrate Belichick’s return to the Super Bowl.

Terrell Suggs Calls Skip Bayless a Douchebag

“Stop it, be an analyst not a douchebag.”

Terrell Suggs just earned a huge notch in my respect belt for calling out Tim Tebow lover Skip Bayless on ESPN.

I personally gave up on watching ESPN when games are not playing because they have turned into a Fox News version of sports and have lost a lot of integrity. Skip Bayless, the biggest troll in media,  is one huge reason why and it’s great to see clips like this pop up.

Check out at Suggs calls out Bayless for trying to turn around Suggs words to make a headline that doesn’t exist.

To keep things going on ESPN, Bayless turned to trolling kickers and blamed the NFL games for degrading themselves for keeping the position in the game. Yes, Skip wants to ban field goal kickers. I guess it beats his last attempt to rile up the crowd by banning centers and just requiring the ref to drop the ball on the field.

Tweeting at @RealSkipBayless, he wrote: “Honestly, I felt sorry for Suggs/Ray/EReed. Fought guts out, lost b/c a nonplayer missed easy kick. WHY I HATE FG KICKING. Ban it!”

Vikings kicker Chris Kluwe took the time to address the situation and call out Bayless for his obvious attempts to boost his own TV ratings. [via Fox Sports]

Kluwe, at @ChrisWarcraft, tweeted: “I know what we should ban! Uninformed opinions from (expletive) e-thugs who tear people down to try to generate ratings!”

Kluwe followed shortly after with: “Hey (expletive). Let’s not forget you haven’t done a single athletic thing in your life. Go french kiss a flamethrower.”

Kluwe: Now it’s just blatantly obvious that @RealSkipBayless is trolling. C’mon man. At least TRY to be subtle. #thatwouldrequireintelligence”

And then this: “I mean, how much (expletive) do you have to gargle to be that bad at your job @RealSkipBayless? #thatshowyoutrollsomeone, #icandothisallday”

Giants Going to the MFing Super Bowl!

Oh baby, talk about an awesome scenario. Who knew at the first of the year we would be looking at a rematch of one of the best Super Bowls ever instead of the Packers vs the Steelers.

The 2007 season ended with the perfect New England Patriots getting upset by the Giants in Super Bowl XLII. Eli and company drove down the field in the last minutes to grab an epic win and we might get another similar game.

That’s because of crappy special teams by the Harbaugh brothers the Giants and Patriots are going back to play each other in the Super Bowl.

And no one is happier than punter Steve Weatherford of the Giants. After holding the game winning field goal in OT, something his Ravens counterparts need to work on, Weatherford was caught running down the field yelling “We’re going to the f-ing Super Bowl!”

Laces Out. Cundiff is Einhorn!!

Baltimore fans are still in shock and I don’t blame them.  After holding in for a close game with the New England Patriots, the Ravens had a chance to go into overtime but Ravens kicker Billy Cundiff pulled a Scott Norwood after missing a 32-yard field goal with 11 seconds left.

Here’s one Ravens fan reaction to Cundiff missing the field goal.

Replays would show that the snap and hold were not perfect. Say what you will about Cundiff but the game is 60 minutes long and what happens in last 20 seconds isn’t what won or lost the game. The Ravens had several opportunities to take the game and they fought hard. I feel for Cundiff for being the brunt of the blame.

The London Rams? NFL Team To Play Next 3 Seasons in England

The first unofficial relocation of an NFL team in years hit the news wire this weekend as the St. Louis Rams agreed to play home games overseas. The NFL has been drooling at the prospect of placing a team in Europe to capitalize on the sports popularity but the simple logistics of travel and expenses are too taxing at the moment.

Thanks to the popularity of the annual game held in the middle of the season in London the NFL has tinkered with the idea of European expansion. Over the years the NFL has held exhibition games in foreign countries like Japan and Mexico. But the audience wanted to see the real deal, not a glorified scrimmage so that led the NFL agreeing to send 2 teams over, usually in late October, to play in London’s Wembley Stadium.

So while the news that an NFL team will be playing in London is not new the fact that a team now has claimed ‘home’ rights and will be there on a regular basis is quite intriguing. The Rams now join the Buffalo Bills as teams with regular scheduled home games held outside the U.S.

[via] The St. Louis Rams took the first step to becoming Britain’s “home” team Friday, agreeing to play a regular-season NFL game in London in each of the next three seasons.

And first up are the New England Patriots, who are two wins from another Super Bowl title.

The Rams and Patriots meet at Wembley on Oct. 28, about two months after the closing ceremony of the London Olympics. That will be followed by games at Wembley against undetermined opponents in 2013 and 2014.

The Rams are owned by Stan Kroenke, who is also the majority shareholder in the English soccer club Arsenal. The team will give up home games in St. Louis for the three seasons they are in London.

This year’s contest will be the sixth regular-season game at Wembley. But despite plans to bring a second game to Britain starting next season, the NFL said the Rams-Patriots date would be the only one in 2012.

Notice in that last paragraph that the see is already planted for more games during the regular season. I mean, it makes a bit of sense since you have to give a team a bye week to recover from the event.

Why not give the Rams 2 home games in a row to get acclimated? Wouldn’t that be easier on the team?

Then it will slowly add up and before you know it St. Louis will lose a 2nd NFL team.

 

Literally, the Silliest NFL Rumor I’ve Ever Heard In My Life

Rob Lowe, yes the actor from various movies and the hit NBC sitcom “Parks and Rec,” has stated for some odd reason he has inside information on one of the hottest topics in the NFL.

Lowe tweeted on his personal account that he knew as a fact that Indianapolis Colts QB Peyton Manning would retire.

I’m not sure how a sitcom actor found out the info or why we are getting our NFL news from him but in this day of modern media it probably shouldn’t shock us too much.  Why we’re listening to some actor about NFL rumors is probably not the best way to get news but ever since I won $20 on a bet thanks to a random tweet by

[via] Consider this a first, for I can’t tell you the last time I’ve heard of a major news story being reported by a TV actor.

According to a tweet by actor Rob Lowe, Indianapolis Colts quarterback Peyton Manning is retiring.

The rumor has been denied by Manning’s agent, as well as his father Archie, a former NFL quarterback

Although there has been zero news to confirm Lowe’s report it is nice to know the media isn’t taking it too serious. ESPN’s NFL reporter Adam Schefter trolled Lowe pretty sweet with this follow up rumor:

Crying Packers Fan Explains Loss to Giants

One young lady took the Packers playoff loss extremely hard and spent the night crying.

No, we’re not talking about Aaron Rodgers here (zing) but rather a Packer fan named Casey who spent the trip home from the bar, where they watched the Giants thump Green Bay, in an emotional fit.

It’s going to be a tough offseason in cheeseland as the mighty Packers now have to figure out if they need to fix that defense that can’t keep up with their offense or if they just need to spend the offseason teaching their receivers to learn how to catch a ball.

Either way, anything will help.

We Have Seen Super Bowl Fanatics, and They Are…Golfers?

Super Bowl XLVI is nearly upon us.

As we wait for final word about what teams will clash on the gridiron, some among us are anxious about something quite different: Who’s gonna be advertising?

What ad this year is going to capture the imagination of the American public, then overdone and remixed and meme-d out so quickly as to become completely annoying within hours of airing?

That remains to be seen, but while we wait, we can learn a little bit about who’s advertising – and being advertised to.

Would you believe: Advertisers spent less in 2011 than they did in 2010? And less in 2010 than they did in 2009? Not a tremendous amount less ($200 million in 2011, as opposed to $213 in 2009), but one might wonder whether that means interest in the Big Game is declining, if ever so slightly. Or maybe Anheuser-Busch and Pepsico just thought it would be tacky to spend even more when the American economy is in the crapper. Stranger things have happened, I suppose.

Proving the point that there are lies, damn lies and statistics, fully a third of all advertisers spent more than 10 percent of their entire advertising budgets for the year just on Super Bowl commercials in 2010. So even if overall spending is down a bit, those who are advertising during the Super Bowl are spending a much larger chunk in that one spot.

Of course, it could be that advertising budgets are down, as some of that money is shifting over to social media marketing and other types of campaigns.

But I digress. This cool infographic from BlueKai takes  a look at how much is being spent on Super Bowl advertising and who’s most likely to be a fanatic.

In short, if you’re a golf-playing, SUV-owning, Kindle-owning, married father who loves science fiction and work in sales, you’re almost guaranteed to be watching. Especially if you’re in the market for a new Sony TV. Take a look:

Tebow Drink Special

Millions of Tebow fans will be on the IR for the rest of the season after collectively jumping off the Tebow bandwagon all at one. The polarizing QB has struggled at the position and despite being a great runner and leader, he’s just not a good passer.

Maybe he’ll work on it in the offseason. And he can kick back at the local bar and enjoy his own Tebow Drink Special. It’s dead on, unlike Tebow.

Personally, I’d like to try that Bacon Bloody Mary. [via Reddit]
