"That crazy bastard hit me right here... With a TRAINING WHEEL!"

The official story coming out of Washington at this hour is that Kerry was injured in "a hockey game with friends" where he supposedly took a shot to the face with a hockey stick. Likely story, Senator. Likely story.

Rough day at the office for Mr. Williams

What a weird weekend. Both games were closely contested, and in the end there were plenty of goats to go around for the Niners and Ravens.

The SOPA / PIPA blackout is over for now, but I strongly urge you to visit AmericanCensorship.org in order to research the effect that this bill will have on the internet as you know it if it is passed. Now, let's get down to some proper NFL business.

Broncos Weave

In my prediction post I said that I expected "Brady to punish Tim Tebow and the Broncos for stealing his headlines". Well, it appears that Tom Brady was a bit more pissed off about that than I thought. I mean, my goodness, Tom Brady put on a Matt Flynn-esque performance with 363 yards & 6 TDs.

From American Hero Senator Bernie Sanders: It is no secret that the people of our country are angry and frustrated with Washington and their government. They correctly perceive that we face enormous problems: a collapsing middle class, increased poverty and a growing gap between the very rich and everyone else; sky-high unemployment; 50 million Americans without health insurance; a deteriorating infrastructure; the continued loss of our manufacturing capabilities; the ongoing mortgage and student loan crises, and the planetary challenge of global warming. And on top of all of that, we have a $15 trillion dollar national debt.

Conference Championship Round

Last week's stunning upset aside, Denver enters Foxborough as 14 point underdogs. That's a lot of points. Against the spread, I'd take the Broncos, but I certainly understand the Vegas insiders' logic in setting this spread.... Exhibit A - The Broncos traveled to New England in Week 15 - riding high after pushing their season-high win streak to 6 games - and received nothing more than a 41-23 beat-down for their troubles.

Yesterday was the BCS Championship game, and we all know that it wasn't the most exciting contest ever aired... Alabama emerged victorious, 21 -0. However, I was kept entertained as Kevin Paul from "The Wife Hates Sports" asked me to take part in a Twitter feed during the game. I had a blast, and I'm sure some of the folks on Twitter following #GOC2 (Game of the Century 2 - wink, wink) got some laughs as well. Here are some of my favorite tweets of the night:

Tebowing

Wow. First, yes the Steelers missed Clark. Second, yes the rash of injuries in the opening quarter alone killed them. Third, yes a healthy Big Ben would have made a world of difference.... BUT, if there is any team in the NFL that could have overcome all of that it is the Steelers. After all, they've done it before. Right?
