Taiwan Animation takes on Super Bowl XLVII, because of course they do. Honestly, of all the weird things they’ve done, their version of Alex Smith getting a concussion is probably the funniest ever. (via NMA)

OTTERS PLAYING FOOTBALL.

AAAAAHHHHH

Word around the Interwebs today has been that the New Orleans Saints have accused Atlanta Falcons fans of egging their team bus at the Atlanta airport yesterday. I believe that’s the Big Boi-Ludacris International Airport, for those of you keeping track. If this is true – and this is a mighty accusation, Saints players – then I believe that Falcons fans should be banned by the NFL for the rest of the season. You heard me – an empty Georgia Dome for the final home games of the regular season.

You see, there’s very little wiggle room between the acts of paying your teammates to intentionally hurt an opposing player and throwing a chicken fetus at any mode of transportation. When, NFL fans, can we finally agree to end the senseless slaughter of chicken babies that could have grown up to cure cancer or run the United Nations? As humans, we are animals.

Sorry, I just wanted to feel like Skip Bayless for a second.

Heading into Monday night’s matchup with the Atlanta Falcons, New Orleans Saints QB Drew Brees needed 305 passing yards to break Dan Marino’s single season passing record of 5,084 yards set back in 1984. Brees threw for 307 yards and now stands alone – for now, as Tom Brady is sniffing his tail – as the greatest single-season passer of all-time. But the difference between 1984 and 2011 is that now we love to take a huge dump all over a guy’s big moment.

Doing most of the dumping after the Saints’ 45-16 drubbing of the Falcons were the Falcons defensive players, who claim that Brees did the birds dirty by running up the score to get his record. You know, on Monday Night Football, in the Superdome, against the Saints’ bitter rivals, and on the biggest stage of their regular season. What a dick, right? That’s the way the sports media sees it, too, starting with CBS Sports’ Pete Prisco, who thinks Brees’ record will forever be tainted.

The way I see it, what should have been a truly special moment, something that should have happened in the context of the game, and made it tainted with questions.

It won’t overshadow what truly is a special record for one of the greatest passers of this generation, even ever, but it does take some of the gloss off of it.

At first I thought this was just the typical CBS Sports blogger trying to embrace the Skip Bayless contrarian role like Gregg Doyel has almost seemingly mastered, but then I searched a little more and discovered that the feeling is shared by others. Dump away, critics.

Hank Williams Jr. must be rolling over in his grave.

By way of Rant Sports and anyone else who watches actual sports instead of pro wrestling on Monday nights comes the latest in a string of “let’s get people Bocephus might hate to do his job” intro videos, this one spotlighting Sole Surviving Golden Girl and temporary-internet-sensation-turned-person-we’re-tired-of-seeing-in-commercials Betty White.

Betty’s entire schtick these days is that she is Very Old, and the open brings that in spades — on-field collisions are compared to old folks driving, a brief discussion on the elderly Tebowing is had and at one point she calls Matt Ryan “hot”. That’s the best one, because seriously, only someone on the ass-end of 80 would say that. Also, Drew Brees set a passing record, but defenses in 2011′s NFL are forced to play like Snickers commercial Betty White so we’re gonna cover it in asterisks and move forward remembering this clip as the most important thing to occur.

You can check out the video (and a better one) after the jump.

Prior to joining the Atlanta Falcons as a free agent this season, defensive end Ray Edwards seemed like he was poised to become a breakout star in the NFL, as he posted back-to-back 8 sack seasons with the Minnesota Vikings. But despite his lackluster 2 sacks this season, Edwards has still been a breakout star in other regards. For instance, back in May he became a two-sport star when he launched his boxing career with a four-round win over T.J. Gibson. And despite being contractually obligated to at least one more fight, the Falcons still gave Edwards a 5-year deal.

Yet neither boxing nor the NFL really show us what Edwards is all about. At least not as much as his latest love – modeling. Edwards recently posed for his own slab of man meat calendar and let’s just say that he likes to show off his bulge. I think that’s the nicest way I can put it. He also likes to show off his girlfriend – and exotic dancer – LaStarya Thompson, who recently posed with her man for the above portrait –by sports artist Gabe Richesson – to celebrate their love.

Order your prints now or just wait for the sex tape.
