Sports Buzz Wow, this was a really great game. (H/T Playbook for finding these.)
Sports Buzz Who let Flav on the field? (via deadspin.com)
Sports Buzz The New York Giants win the Super Bowl, beating the New England Patriots 21-17.
Sports Buzz If you're like me, you know absolutely nothing about either team that's playing in the Super Bowl this year, but you're going to watch anyway. With that in mind, here are all the men you should plan on staring at come Sunday because they are fine as hell.
Sports Buzz The NFL Pro Bowl was held yesterday in Hawaii, and while the level of competition lacked intensity, some of the photos display All-Star caliber hilarity.
Sports Buzz At the presentation of Lamar Hunt trophy last night, team owner Bob Kraft and Drew Bledsoe, honorary team captain and former two-time conference champion with the Patriots, share a little celebration peck on the cheek. Patriots fans who grew up in '90s love this.
Music Buzz Who let grandma get drunk and start singing again? Steven Tyler, of Aerosmith, “American Idol” and the art-imitating-life piece, “Dude (Looks Like a Lady),” sang the National Anthem at today's AFC Championship game. And by “sang,” I mean “took an aural shit on,” because YIKES. (via Gawker)
After yesterday's Game of Thrones-inspired breakdown of the AFC championship game, here is what the NFC title game would look like. Now someone resurrect John Facenda so he can narrate, “When you play the game of thrones you win or you die.”
Sports Buzz With the NFL playoffs starting this weekend, I asked some of sports blogging and social media's elite to give me their pick for Super Bowl champion, and defend it in five words. The term “unstoppable” is used to describe at least two teams in this post - also, the pythagorean theorem is referenced.
Celebrity Buzz He took Tebow's name in vain. Bill Maher, noted atheist, profanely tweeted about the loss Tim Tebow and the Broncos suffered at the hands of the Buffalo Bills on Christmas Eve. Fox News was not amused. An online effort by Tebow's many minions has been launched to get HBO to cancel “Real Time With Bill Maher.”
Watch Bengals' Jerome Simpson flip into the end zone for a touchdown against the Cardinals. Oh, yeah. He lands it. (via sbnation.tumblr.com and obsessedwithsports.com)

That…can’t be normal. Is one born with a naturally wide neck or is there a whole series of exercises unknown to the populace?
Sports Buzz It clearly makes me a bad person, but Tebow help me…these pictures make me so happy. The Denver Broncos quarterback and lightning rod with a Christ complex sure does get creamed a lot.
Sports Buzz Have you seen this yet? Can you imagine Ryan Fitzpatrick's battle cry if he were in the Super Bowl? [Glass breaks]
Sports Buzz Here's a quote from Bill Belichick, head coach of the New England Patriots, responding to his team's 37-16 victory over the New York Jets. As this moment of almost Lincolnesque oratory demonstrates, Belichick is known for his humble demeanor and quiet rectitude.
Sports Buzz No, it's not a gross new entry on Urban Dictionary. New York Jets quarterback Mark Sanchez got spooked by Buffalo Bills cornerback Drayton Florence and did a little pee pee dance.
Even if you don't follow sports, this is pretty awesome. It's like watching a bad high school play. From Monday night's game against the Rams. What is this, FIFA?
Sports Buzz Happy NFL season kickoff weekend, sports fans! Before rooting on your favorite players as they wage war on the gridiron, see what happens when you arrange the letters in their names into ridiculous combinations.
