When the Denver broncos traded Tim Tebow to the New York Jets two weeks ago, the New York sports media responded exactly how we knew it would:

But beyond the made up rumors of Tebow plotting to oust Mark Sanchez like he’s the modern day Santa Anna, there has been equal, slightly-more-legitimate excitement from NYC businesses, as Tebow’s star power means that marketing and merchandising are easier than ever. As we previously discussed, our friends at Rick’s Cabaret have already offered Tebow his (presumably) first ever lap dance, and now the Carnegie Deli is giving the Jets’ backup QB his very own sandwich.

Somewhere, Mark Brunell dripped some tears on his bankruptcy papers.

The sandwich consists of pastrami, corned beef, roast beef, American cheese, lettuce, tomatoes and mayonnaise piled high on white bread, according to the CBS report.

“Seventy-five years, we’ve always made sandwiches on rye bread,” Carnegie’s Sandy Levine told CBS. “This time, we put it on white bread and we used mayonnaise, not mustard. This is sacrosanct in delis, but we realize who Tim Tebow is. He’s an outstanding citizen. He’s the all-American boy.” (Via People)

I love how Levine is acting like she defied the Magna Carta by using white bread for this boring sandwich. Seriously, white bread and mayo? Does it also come with club soda and a copy of Reader’s Digest? Perhaps I can eat it in my Ford Focus while my homemaker wife gives me a handy with a rubber glove on. Regardless, the sandwich weighs four pounds and costs $22, so the excess and inflation totally nail the All-American theme.

Meanwhile, it looks like the Jets are going to be the subject of Hard Knocks again, so maybe Tebow can help Antonio Cromartie by preparing some flashcards.

Welp, my brain just started bucking. Here come those repressed memories.

We like to joke around a lot about how pathetic and obviously fake the marriage between eventual NBA free agent Kris Humphries and Kim Kardashian was, but the humor goes a long way to cover up the same anger and contempt that we all share for the way these fake celebrities manipulate this country’s TV zombie audience, how it led to a colossal payday for the Kardashian Klan, and how Kim has the last laugh after only 72 days of marriage.

Yesterday, the Twitterverse erupted in an amazing response to the divorce of Humphries and Kardashian, starting with comedian Rob Delaney’s hilarious lawsuit threat and culminating with the gay community vilifying Kardashian’s greed in terrible economic times and her indifference to the people who are legally unable to treat the institution of marriage with respect. While that’s all fine and dandy, I just wanted people to pile on and make fun of these spectacular fame whore losers until the weight completely crushed this empire.

Thankfully, someone came through. Some wonderful person posted an ad on Craigslist yesterday for a public vigil to mourn this divorce. And you bet your ass people showed up and made this one of the most spectacular moments of the year.

Back in July, fans of the San Diego Padres gathered at Petco Park as they hoped to break the world record for the longest costumed dog parade as part of the organization’s annual Dog Days of Summer promotion, which allows fans to bring their pooches to the ballpark. Not only did they end up setting the world record, but they created a new sensation for dog owners across the country. For some reason, people really want to break the record for most costumed dogs in a parade.

Dog owners in Cleveland made their best effort this past weekend and they unfortunately fell short. Hell, a guy in Pittsburgh even tried to set the individual record for most dogs walked. Alas, there is controversy in this canine competition, as a Long Beach, CA man believes that he has already bested the Petco effort and will gladly do it again.
