In what might be the exact opposite of a bunch of basketball fans traveling across the country to get blowjobs from porn stars, here’s a picture of two nice young ladies at the New York Jets training camp who drove seven hours with personalized signs to get a hug from way back back-up quarterback Tim Tebow. Their sign, in case you’re allergic to magic marker, reads: “Tim, you put the STUD in Bible study”. No word on whether or not they got hugs, but I’m pretty sure even Tebow is sick of this by now.

“The STUD in Bible study” is a pretty slick play on words, so if you’re planning to attend Jets camp with religious-themed signage, you’re not longer allowed to use it. Instead, use one of these:

Jay Glazer of FOX Sports and MMA training foolishness just dropped this gem of a tweet. Apparently, America’s long national nightmare is over.

Brett Favre has told trio of vikings who came to persuade him to return that he is “back in” and is on plane back to minny now via.

That trio was three of Favre’s Minnesota teammates from last year: defensive end Jared Allen, offensive lineman Steve Hutchinson and kicker Ryan Longwell. Yes, they sent the kicker to get Favre back. Hey, it seemed to work.

Hopefully this will be the end of the media’s game of Let’s Update Everyone On Everything That Brett Favre Does.

Favre is at a Hattiesburg Starbucks!

Favre is grabbing a muffin!

It’s blueberry!

Favre is at the register! We have confirmed that Brett Favre is at the register!

Will that be all, the cashier asks! Will it, Brett? WILL! THAT! BE! ALL!???

HE’S PAYING WITH CAAASH!!!

When the Pittsburgh Steelers saw charter buses waiting outside of their facility in Latrobe, Pennsylvania yesterday, they assumed that their coach was allowing them to skip their last day of camp and go to a movie theater. But head coach Mike Tomlin had different ideas. In fact, he was executing a prank conceived by Steelers kicker Jeff Reed.

It was all a ruse — there were no movies, no bowling alley excursion, no break on the last day at camp. Practice went on, and Tomlin only grinned at the prank orchestrated by Reed, the team’s best-known jokester. The Arizona Cardinals may have had a day at the movies this week, but there will be no such day off for the Steelers.

“Just a little mental warfare,” Tomlin said. “Sometimes people need to be horribly disappointed and then asked to perform. And they did pretty well.” via.

Reed–who wasn’t in on the joke as it happened–was actually hoping that Tomlin was planning to trick him and send the team out anyway. Like Reed had such a hard day ahead of him–kicking balls while kicking back beer* sounds like a better vacation than a lot of people get. And that’s his job. The only thing easier would be sitting in front of a computer all day and making fun of a…oh.

*Probably not true

You’ve read the headline. Dallas Cowboys rookie kicker David Buehler (left) has a locker next to rookie defensive back DeAngelo Smith (right). So if a white kicker challenges a black DB to a 50-yard sprint, where is your money? Now read the blockquote will I start building that ice rink in Hell that I’ve always wanted:

After practice Tuesday, Buehler outran rookie defensive back DeAngelo Smith in a 50-yard dash by a step. Smith says Buehler beat him “fair and square,” but that there will be a rematch.

Buehler, like Smith a fifth-round pick by the Cowboys in April, isn’t the average kicker. He ran 40 yards in 4.57 seconds at the combine and had 25 repetitions bench-pressing 225 pounds. via.

Cowboys coach Wade Phillips has already vetoed any potential rematch. Whatever, coach. He’s just jealous that other people can actually run more than 50 yards without stopping to eat. So am I, actually.

No Brett Favre, no Michael Vick, and for now, we need no rival UFL to lean on for any sort of football news. All 32 NFL teams opened training camp this weekend, meaning that the notebooks of sportswriters everywhere will be filled with less speculative drivel and more injury reports, crybaby wideout tears, and coaching angst. It’s enough to make anyone forget about the end of summer, but unless you’re in college, summer kinda blows anyway.

The Bengals and their fans enjoyed taunts from the crew at Who Dey Revolution, who flew a banner over the team’s camp facility denouncing the team’s inadequate staffing in the front office. The Patriots added themselves to the list of teams witholding interest in Michael Vick. Matt Leinart’s job of holding the clipboard might be in jeopardy! Tarvaris is already hurt. And Derrick Mason came back!

Oh, man. It’s football season. Sort of. Almost. Hey, at least it isn’t baseball.
