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.

Prince’s new Vikings Fight Song = Worst. Song. Ever.
Prince is clearly inspired by his favorite NFL club. Just look at that passion!
I gotta admit, when I first saw the headline that Prince had written a new song for the Minnesota Vikings, I got pretty excited. We know that Prince – being from Minneapolis – is a real Vikings fan, so I figured this was a perfect fit. As a child of the 80’s, I had visions of a funky-ass track, featuring Prince’s signature guitar and vocal stylings, with Sheila E on the backbeat and a hyped-up, synth-driven chorus. Maybe throw in some Vanity and Appolonia dancing side stage, and I am there!
Ummm … not so much. Instead, apparently Prince “saw the future” during last weekend’s blowout win over the Cowboys and, clearly inspired by the religious implications of Brett Favre’s third coming, wrote a Vikings-themed gospel song later that night. That’s right. It’s a gospel song. And a half-assed one at that. Prince doesn’t sing on it, opting instead for a local Minneapolis youth choir, and he seems to have used a busted Casio synth to lay down the track, recording directly to a cassette deck.
But don’t let me influence your opinion. Here is a clip of the song, so you can judge for yourself:
If you’re so inclined, you can hear the full version of the song here – Audio player at the right of the page.

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.

SportsCenter: The Chattering Din
Goatboy = better than Dilfer (Image: TheSportsHernia)
I was almost done with SportsCenter after Favre un-retired again, but after Monday, I am done. I will not be watching. They are idiots.
First this:
“Why would Favre come back for 20 million, his legacy, he is waffling, the fans, the Jets, blah, blah, blah.” – WHAT THE F$%K!!! IS this Russia? Jesus f*%k. Who in their right mind doesn’t come back for that money, with that running back, and defense, in a dome when he cant play in the cold anymore… how is there even a tiny hole in the move?
The Vikings could go with Farve, or they could have gone with TJ or SAGE F*%KING Rosenfels who is a homeless man’s 2004 Drew Bledsoe. Jesus Christ. No Brett, stay on your farm, stay in your red shorts, and don’t go to a great situation with more money then any of us will EVER see in our lifetimes. Don’t set up your family, and their families, and their families for life, don’t be a wealthy man, don’t take a chance, don’t gamble, and don’t be a f*cking man – F*CK YOU. If I was an athlete that played at the caliber of some of these aging stars, I would play until I was on the bench in the CFL… why quit what you love to do – fail, who gives a shit – Brett Farve, and his family are set for life. What MAN doesn’t do that for his soul as a competitor and his family? Turn down what was is it, 14 million dollars?
Save it for someone else Trent
Trent f%#king Dilfer that’s who. What a small-minded f*ck. I just wow… wow wow wow. SportsCenter is like a Ayn Rand villain – Don’t do what you are good at, even if you fail, because it make US feel bad to see you succeed. What are we Poland?
THEN THIS? This!:
“Why would Belichick, go for it on 4th and two? Why, what an awful move!!” WHAT THE F*CK, the defense is winded Peyton Manning is the new Brady with 2 minutes to go, who the fuck doesn’t think that Brady can’t get 2 yards on a 4th down, and the average NFL play is 4 yards… F*CK YOU! Jesus f**king Christ. Honestly the football coverage on that network is f*cking stupid, always conservative, goes for cheap jokes, and says nothing new. Trent Dilfer… TRENT DILFER doesn’t like what Bill f**king Belichick called? Are you kidding me?
Why would anyone tune into hear that? Why? I know I wont. I wont ever again. Not ever f*cking again. That network is dead to me. ReadAndReact is where I go for news.

San Diego loves it when Raiders fans come to town
This commercial from King Stahlman Bail Bonds ran last week in the San Diego area, in anticipation of the Chargers home game on Sunday against the hated Oakland Raiders. And it probably encapsulates how many communities feel when Tom Cable and Raider Nation comes-a-callin’.

Blubbering Giants Fan gets his web redemption
You may be familiar with this YouTube clip from this past January, which features a distraught Giants fan crying like a baby after his team lost to the Eagles in the playoffs. It’s pretty much your classic web fail. I mean, I’ve been upset about a loss before … but, WOW … this guy took it to a whole other level.
Ever since that video first hit the interwebs, its star, Rob, has been mercilessly ridiculed around the world for … well, for being such a huge pussy. His handle was even discovered on the famed Giants message board Big Blue Interactive, where he has since been dubbed “Flounder”, and has become the site’s whipping boy.
Well, thanks to the awesome Comedy Central program Tosh.0, Rob has finally gotten his web redemption. Funny stuff:
| Tosh.0 | Thursdays at 10pm / 9c |
| Web Redemption Crying Giants Fan | |
Kudos to Rob for manning up and handling this all with a sense of humor. And of course for choosing to f*ck Lawrence Taylor. If you’re interested, you can check out the outtakes from the Tosh.0 interview, along with this thread from BBI where Rob talks about the clip.

Bertinelli sacks Romo
This is getting out of hand. First, her “sister” MacKenzie Phillips went on Oprah to drop this little nugget: she had a consensual, incestual relationship with her father. Now, little sis Valerie Bertinelli is making headlines of her own (is there some kind of One Day at a Time DVD box set that is for sale that I don’t know about: why are these people getting interviews?) by ripping Tony Romo:
What’s next, the red head mom on One Day reveals she isn’t actually a red head? Romo, of course, had nothing to do with the offending video, which was actually a Burger King creation.
A bad season just got a little worse for Tony Romo. What’s ironic here, of course, is that Marion Barber is the real victim: I mean, who talks like that?

Favre’s game-winning TD to Greg Lewis, Tecmo Bowl style
Now here’s a growing trend that we can all get behind! Geeks across the land – most notably YouTube user MrNFL – have taken to re-creating their favorite NFL plays in the classic NES football game, Tecmo Bowl. (see our earlier post of the Broncos’ miracle victory)
This one of Brett Favre’s last-second GW TD pass against the 49ers from 2 weekends ago is pretty good:
I love the way he edits it with announcers, replays and scoreboard shots.
Well done, sir.

Ochocinco’s next endzone celebration: the Ricky Bobby
Ochocinco promises to do a little "Shake n Bake" this Sunday against the Ravens
Bengals WR Chad Ochocinco had his weekly conference call with the media yesterday, and per usual, he took the opportunity to stir the pot as much as possible heading into Sunday’s match-up with the Baltimore Ravens.
Among other things, according to the Baltimore Sun, Ochocinco said he’d hit Ray Lewis in the mouth, called Ravens CB Domonique Foxworth “Vivica Foxworth”, and even challenged LB Terrell Suggs to a boxing match.
But when Ochocinco guaranteed to score a TD, and then do the “Ricky Bobby” to celebrate - in reference to one of the greatest comedy films of our time, Talladega Nights - that’s when our ears perked up:
“When I score, which you know I will do, I have a special thing. It’s called the Ricky Bobby. It should be really nice. It’s a rule-breaker. I did send the NFL the fine money ahead of time.”
So are we to assume that Chad is going to strip down to his tighty whities and run around the field like he’s on fire? Will he sit down in the endzone and deliver the world’s greatest pre-meal grace?
As much as I’d like to believe that either of these were possibilities, my guess is that it has something to do with a recent hop-hop track (and accompanying dance) from some guy I’ve never heard of D-Hamp, entitled “Do The Ricky Bobby”.
If it’s the latter, that would be, like, WAY less funny.
