Top NFL Draft Picks Debut the Fancy Suits They’ll Need for Court Later

The NFL is also a fashion show where top prospects show off proper courtroom attire that will likely be shown to a judge sometime in the near future.

This Year’s NFL Draft to Feature 10% More Confetti

In order to better highlight the celebratory tone just a little bit more, there will be 10% more confetti at this year’s NFL draft.
“When you want 10% more excitement, 10% more fun, we recommend 10% more confetti,” Radio City Music Hall event planners said.
But some say that one-tenth more confetti will be used to emphasize the victory of maybe getting a job in professional football because, “the draft needs it.” Skeptic on the Street has said, “in order to distract fans from the fact that there are two interesting quarterbacks …

A new scandal shows that a sport based on hitting and tackling in a league full of criminals may be just as barbaric as you probably imagine.

Gregg Williams, the Saints’ defensive coordinator at the time, has admitted and apologized for running a bounty pool of up to $50,000. “It …

Chris Brown Lays Down the Beat for/on Rihanna

Chris Brown has joined forces with Rihanna, just three years after using force on Rihanna.
Perhaps out of duress, Rihanna has joined her ex-boyfriend Chris Brown on not one, but two songs that you can fist-pump to at the club before you go roofying some chicks.
“Some were worried that people will lose respect for Rihanna by getting back with the man who so shamelessly abused her,” Music Industry Analyst Ty Quando says. “However, studies have shown that no one has any respect for Rihanna, anyway, which means it doesn’t matter. It’s …

Supermodel Gisele Bundchen is a gorgeous woman who probably never had the experience of being heckled until Sunday night, when the New England Patriots lost to the New York Giants in the Super Bowl again.

Terrell Owens: I Wonder if the NFL Thinks of Me Even Half as Much as I Think of Them.

Symptoms like muscle weakness, loss of flexibility, difficulty using his hands and walking have been developing for years now, team doctors say.
Sports fans have reacted by declaring that they don’t care nor are they surprised by the news.

Indy-Cision 2012

The Indianapolis Colts won 8 fewer games this season than they did last year, playing an entire season without beloved franchise hero quarterback Peyton Manning. Naturally, this has made the Colts unsure if they should stick with their Man(ning) or take their chances with Luck.
While Indy hosts the Superbowl this year, they will think about how to get back to the big game… and if their chances are better with Peyton Manning or Andrew Luck under center.
Let’s examine the options…
The Incumbent: Peyton Manning
PROfessional resume:

4 MVP awards, an NFL record
11 Probowls

Roethlisgimper Plays With Less Power Than Candlestick Park

Big Ben Roethishamburglar gets a lot of respect and credit from sportscasters and analysts for being a tough, strong leader…the kind that would rape your sister in a bathroom. Unfortunately, while a bum left ankle may not slow one’s rape-roll, it drastically affects the ability to quarterback.
A transformer blew up which, while sounding pretty cool, was the cause of two blackout delays during the Monday Night Football game between the Pittsburgh Steelers and the San Francisco 49ers at Candlestick Park.
But the park wasn’t the only thing that was dim for …
