The Baltimore Ravens won Super Bowl XLVII, but the highlight for me (besides the lights going out and The Shield putting Colin Kaepernick through a table) was Joe Flacco’s description of the win as “f**kin’ awesome.” You are absolutely right, Joe Flacco.

We don’t get to talk about late night talk shows very much, not since Magic Johnson made sure that no athlete would ever again grace the stage of a major network. Fortunately, while Jay Leno and Charlie Sheen were busy tap-dancing on Johnny Carson’s grave, Jimmy Fallon was cheaply pandering to us Internet sports geeks with two things that we love more than our own mothers – the Super Bowl and puppies.

Fallon was doing his letters shtick and revealed a very good question from one of his viewers:

“Hey Jimmy, do you think you can predict the Super Bowl and can you do it using puppies?”

Puppies, of course, are the most scientific of animal prognosticators, as octopi are actual psychics, camels are dark wizards and otters are simply frauds. Adorable, yes. But otters are basically the Miss Cleo of the ocean. So who did these adorable little Golden Retriever pups pick? See for yourself after the jump.

Or, more simply, “Caekernick.”

Because simply emulating the body art of your favorite quarterback isn’t enough, Village Baking Co. in Modesto, California, has created the COLIN KAEPERNICK ARM CAKE.

@tannerscholtes was gracious enough to snap this picture and share it on Twitter. The full version of the picture is below, in case you need total confirmation that somebody made a cake in the shape of somebody’s arm and created a maelstrom of football fans who thought this was a great idea and really want to eat Colin Kaepernick’s body parts.

When San Francisco 49ers coach Jim Harbaugh opted to stick with Colin Kaepernick as his starting quarterback even after a concussed Alex Smith had been cleared to play, a lot of Niner fans were pissed off. Smith, of course, was vocal about his discontent with being benched, saying something like, “All I did to lose my job was get a concussion and not look like a young Gregory Hines.” Again, that’s not verbatim.

But the fun of being an NFL fan is that you can be as pissed off as you want one day, and then completely change your mind the next. Now that Kaepernick has led the 49ers to a convincing, dominating playoff win over the Green Bay Packers – in which he set the single game NFL rushing record for a QB – it’s all “Alex who?” in the Bay Area, because San Fran fans love them some Kaepernick right now.

Of course, as we’ve learned in the past, when we have an exciting young QB winning games, he’s bound to be followed by a trademark meme, and wouldn’t you know, Kaepernicking is apparently a thing now. There is no God.

What were you doing in 4th grade? My biggest memories of 4th grade are playing ‘Final Fantasy’ for the NES, discovering Watchmen comics and having no idea why everyone thought my teacher’s name was so funny. It was “Mrs. Cocke.” I was nine, I thought they were calling her a chicken. I didn’t know what I wanted to be when I grew up. I was still stuck somewhere between “astronaut” and “marine biologist.”

Colin Kaepernick had a better plan: he was going to grow up to play for the San Francisco 49ers. That’s not a retconned “football has always been my dream” story … he actually called it in the 4th grade. No, seriously, look:
