Tracy Porter’s Super Bowl Interception, Tecmo Bowl-style
Now that the dust has settled from Super Bowl 44, we would be remiss if we didn’t post one last Tecmo Bowl recreation for the season, from our Youtube friend MRNFL. This one captures the biggest play from Super Sunday, and possibly the entire season, as Tecmo Tracy Porter picks off Tecmo Peyton and races 74 yards for the game-winning score.
I’m not sure if I’ll ever get tired of these.

Carl from ATHF gives his thoughts on the Pro Bowl (video)
As you all know, today is the AFC-NFC Pro Bowl, and for the first time, the NFL’s all-star game will be played one week prior to the Super Bowl, rather than the following week (when everyone has already stopped caring about football).
So, will Roger Goodell’s new strategy pay off with increased viewership? Does anyone – aside from Carl – really care?

VIDEO: Favre leads Vikings in “Pants on the Ground”
This is how Brett Favre and the Minnesota Vikings celebrated today’s playoff victory over the Dallas Cowboys … unbelievable:
If you don’t watch American Idol, or have no idea what this is about, watch the original version of “Pants on The Ground” by General Larry Platt here. Admittedly, I have been singing this song all week. I’m not a proud man.

Hey, it could be worse … you could be a Redskins fan (video)
The playoffs can be an emotional time for football fans. While Packers fans have been crying themselves to sleep these past few nights, and Eagles fans are attacking female Romo fans, we thought it would be good to give everyone a little bit of perspective on things. So before you go throwing yourself in front of a bus because you won’t get to watch Tom Brady’s chin any more this season, please try to keep in mind that a) it’s just a game and b) it could always be worse … you could be a Redskins fan.
Comedian Danny Rouhier – of Redskins Anonymous fame – is back to recap the painful experience that was the Washington Redskins 2009 season. Love this guy.

The Sublime Majesty of Andy Reid’s Utility Belt
I’m pulling for the Eagles this weekend because I cannot get enough of Andy Reid’s strange, black, maybe green, gas station attendant jump-suit outfit. I know that’s not what it is, but he is so rotund and oddly shaped, and he wears what looks to be a utility belt, that it all blends together into one mesmerizing coaching ensemble. My other concern is that he honestly looks to be one of the unhealthiest people ever to be on TV. He might only eat candy and Buffalo wings.
That said, the belt is what I really love about Andy Reid. Does he think he is Captain America? No other coach has to wear a WW II Army belt to hold up his headset. He looks like an insanely large, discontinued G.I. Joe Action figure come to life. It’s mystifying and wonderful.
No one ever comments about this. If I were ever in the booth I would be like:
Steve: Interesting point, John, but can I get a camera on Reid’s belt again… Thanks… What is going on here? What is the story with that belt? Let’s go down to Goose and find out!”
Goose: “blah blah… He told me it’s a BELT, Steve, a BELT. Oh did you hear that hit? You have to be down here to hear it guys. I’m going to walk around the field and pretend to be useful. Back to you guys!”
Steve: “Jesus ephing Christ”

NFL Coaches get the Auto-Tune Treatment
Auto-Tune, in general, might be the worst thing to happen to music in the last 50 years. Thank you Kanye and T-Pain.
But the one good thing to come from this technology has been it’s usage to turn news and other press conferences into somewhat-funny hip-hop parodies (see Auto-Tune The News). DJ Steve Porter, who created the best of the bunch in Press Hop and the Slap Chop Rap, has now set his sights on NFL coaches, resulting in the “You Play To Win The Game” remix video above. Well played, sir.

CLASSIC VIDEO: Mike Ditka goes off on reporter while pantsless
Check out this classic footage of Bears HC Mike Ditka during a 1988 post-game interview with CBS reporter Johnny Morris … which Ditka chose to conduct without pants. The brilliance here is found in the off-air moments before and after the interview, when Ditka absolutely lays into Morris for having to answer the same questions over and over again. Vintage Ditka, right here:

Carl from ATHF on the True Meaning of Christmas (Video)
Carl from Aqua Teen Hunger Force is just hilarious on many levels. In his most recent rant, he breaks down the Giants season, and gets down to the true meaning of Christmas:

VIDEO: Jaguars Mascot gets stuck hanging above Alltel Stadium
The life of an NFL mascot is a topsy-turvy one. One minute you’re hanging out with 15 hot cheerleaders, then you’re playing football against Pee Wees, and the next thing you know you’re getting shot out of a cannon through a ring of fire. Anything in the name of entertaining the fans.
Here, Jacksonville Jaguars mascot Jaxson De Ville attempts to zip line across Alltel Stadium – while hanging upside down, no less. Unfortunately for Jaxson, he gets stuck about halfway across, and hangs there for over 3 minutes while crews try and get him down:
It’s no coincidence that tomorrow night’s Colts game is the first home sellout of the season, which means that they’ve also avoided a TV blackout for the first time this year. The fans have spoken. More dangerous stunts by Jaxson that put his life in peril! Expect a shark tank on the field tommorrow night.

VIDEO: Jets Fan finally loses it after “30-40 years of this sh!#”
This is simply fantastic.
From the November 15th tilt between the New York Jets and the Jacksonville Jaguars comes this footage of a Jets fan reaching his breaking point. After watching his beloved Gang Green lose at the last second yet again (24-22 to a middling Jags team), this season ticket holder just snaps, and unleashes a profanity-laden tirade for the ages. Nobody is safe from his invective, including the chair in front of him, and the poor Jets cheerleaders.
WARNING: this includes a LOT of swearing, so turn down your volume if you’re at work (there are handy subtitles to go along with the diatribe), and enjoy:

As an east coast boy living in the Rockies, I can tell you that you just don’t get these types of tirades at sporting events out here. It’s classic New York. Everyone around these parts is trying so hard to be polite, and simply wouldn’t tolerate this sort of outburst. Which is too bad, because some of my fondest childhood memories are from “show your tits” chants at Yankees games. I mean, that’s good fun for the whole family, right there.
