Pic of the Day: RGIII and Morgan Freeman

We have no context for this image, but it’s just fantastic on so many levels, and we had to share:

This picture of John and Jim Harbaugh as Little Leaguers is classic (PHOTO)

In advance of the much-hyped Harbowl (or “Super Browl”, if you will), Reddit brings us this absolute gem from the Harbaugh brothers’ childhood.

Check out young John and Jim decked out in their Baskin Robbins little league unis, with the elder John towering over the befuddled looking Jim:

(via reddit)

And after some incredible interweb sleuthing, we uncovered a few more classic shots from the Harbaugh family archives, which reveal that Jim has been making that same exact face since he exited the birth canal.

PS - how bout that local little league BR sponsorship still paying dividends 30+ years later, eh?!?

Your handy guide to replacement ref hand signals (IMAGE)

Yes, we realize the poor replacement refs are taking the brunt of all the criticism here, when it really should be directed squarely at Roger Goodell …. but still, this is good stuff (CLICK TO EMBIGGEN):

Laughing to keep from crying … replacementgoogle.com is also hilarious.

Well, it’s official: the replacement refs finally broke the NFL (PIC & GIFS)

This will be the image that encapsulates the replacement referees’ saga during the 2012 NFL season. And hopefully, it will be the moment that finally breaks the back on the league’s lockout of the regular refs:

You’ve all seen it by now (VIDEO HERE).  The Seahawks beat the Packers on a last-second hail mary that was somehow ruled a touchdown by one official at the same time as the back judge ruled it an interception.  A “Touchception”, if you will. And madness ensued.

The officials even went under the hood to review the play – although technically, posession is not reviewable – and came back with the same decision: Golden Tate had achieved simultaneous posession with M.D. Jennings, awarding the Seahawks a TD. This, despite seemingly obvious video evidence that clearly showed Jennings clutching the ball to his chest before Tate reached an arm in and wrestled the ball away in the pile.

Golden Tate fined $21k for blindside block on Sean Lee

On Sunday, Seahawks WR Golden Tate delivered a knockout blow to Cowboys LB Sean Lee on a blindside block that made all the highlight reels, and has now left Tate $21,000 poorer after being fined by the NFL.

The hit also gave us one of the more brutal photos of the football season so far:

(Photo: Max Faulkner via seattletimes.com)

The look on Lee’s face – with Tate’s helmet planted squarely in his jaw – is downright scary, and it’s fortunate that Lee wasn’t seriously injured on the play (although, the long-term effects on his brain probably won’t be known for a while).

WATCH THE PLAY HERE (GIFs below). In real time, it most certainly is a blindside block, but it’s looks as though Tate put his helmet in Lee’s chest and wasn’t aiming for his head (despite the result). Seattle head coach Pete Carroll has said that “I don’t think he could have done it any cleaner”.

So there’s a Peyton Manning corn maze now (PHOTO & VIDEO)

Think Broncos fans are excited about Peyton Manning’s debut?

Check out this photo of Fritzler Farm Corn Maze in LaSalle, Colorado, whose owners decided to model their annual maze to look like Manning:

(via sportsillustrated.com)

The maze opens to the public on September 15th.  I would just hate to get lost in the Manning Face.

And of course, now Peyton can team up with the Marshawn Lynch corn maze to dominate vegetation labyrinths worldwide.

RGIII leads rookie QB class with impressive debut; “Griffining” becomes a thing (PHOTO)

It was one of the rare cases of the reality actually being better than the hype.

With five rookie quarterbacks starting their team’s opener on Sunday, Robert Griffin III stood head and shoulders above the rest of his class by putting on one of the most impressive debut performances by a QB in NFL history, and leading the Redskins to a shocking 40-3 victory over the Saints.

(Photo: John McDonnell – The Washington Post)

Griffin’s stat line - 19-of-26 for 320 yards, two touchdowns and no interceptions, for a 139.9 passer rating – is impressive enough. In becoming the first quarterback in league history to throw for over 300 yards in a winning debut, RGIII put all of advertised physical tools – speed, agility and cannon for an arm – on display for everyone to see. But considering that he did it all on the road, in a hostile Superdome, in his first game on the NFL stage … it was his poise, intelligence and confidence that really stood out. Starting the game off 8-for-8, Griffin looked like a veteran running Mike Shanahan‘s offense out there.

Meanwhile, number 1 overall pick Andrew Luck threw three interceptions and fumbled once in a loss, Russell Wilson had a mixed performance but came up short on a game-winning drive, Ryan Tannehill was in over his head in throwing 3 picks, and Brandon Weeden looked completely lost with a 5.1 QB rating, the worst pro debut by a QB in modern history.

Worst. Steelers Tattoo. Ever. (PIC)

Via Reddit/r/nfl comes this photo of one Steelers fan’s remarkable new tattoo, and … well … let’s just let the picture speak for itself:

(Photo via reddit)

No words … They should’ve sent a poet.

Apparently, this work of art was created by this tattoo artist named Brian (of “Brian’s Tattoos” in central PA), who actually has a history of inking people with his child-like drawings, without one hint of intended irony. He even posted this image to Facebook as an example of his “work”, and Brian adamantly defends his portfolio (his other tattoos are equally inspiring) against anyone who dares to hate. One glance at his Facebook page, and you immediately realize that Brian is either the most delusional, meth-addled tattoo artist in history, or is playing a huge joke on everyone.

Let’s hope it’s the latter, but either way, I feel badly for Brian’s poor subjects, who have to live with this “art” on their bodies for the rest of their lives.

UPDATED – Jason Pierre-Paul throws teammate Prince Amukamara into a cold tub (PIC & VIDEO)

(Image via VuMee.com)

UPDATE: The Star-Ledger’s Mike Garafolo spoke with Prince Amukamura about the incident after last night’s game.

Although Prince doesn’t understand exactly what he did to provoke this treatment from Pierre-Paul, he seems to be taking the incident in stride. Apparently, this is not the first time something like this has happened to Amukamara, who estimates he ended up in the cold tub as many as eight times last season. It turns out that this kind of thing has been a “running theme for the players, who have been trying to get the engaging, easy-going Amukamara to develop an edge.”

But while Amukamara certainly doesn’t enjoy being the whipping boy in the Giants locker room, he says he’s come to accept the abuse. And he’s also quick to point out that he understands that it’s all in fun, and there are no hard feelings:

“Yeah, um, well, I mean, I just don’t get it. I don’t understand the rules,” last year’s first-round pick told The Star-Ledger. “I mean, I’m not a rookie anymore, so I don’t know why I’m getting thrown in the tub. I know it’s all love.

“Yeah, no one ever likes it, especially when it’s you vs. eight and no one’s helping you. But it doesn’t mess up our team morale or anything.”

Meanwhile, ol’ man Coughlin promises to give all of the involved parties a thorough talking to … with Steve Weatherford likely to get the brunt of the discipline for posting the video to Twitter and bringing things outside of their house for all the world to see.

2nd UPDATE: Busted Coverage points out that this isn’t even the first time this month that a Giants player was hazed and had it posted to social media.  Just last week, rookie WR Reuben Randle was taped up and thrown into the cold tub, with photo evidence posted by Corey Webster. 

So you see, it’s clear that the cold tub is the Giants’ preferred tool for rookie hazing, and there doesn’t seem to be any real cause for concern here. Hopefully for Amukamara’s sake, one of these days, his teammates will stop considering him to be a rookie.

_________________________
ORIGINAL POST (08.18.12 – 8:31PM PT)

We re-tweeted a link to this video, which was posted to Twitter by Giants punter Steve Weatherford last night … but after re-watching it a few more times, we decided it deserved its own post.

The clip – which we can only assume was shot by Weatherford on Friday – shows Giants DE Jason Pierre-Paul carrying teammate CB Prince Amukamara over his shoulder down a hallway, and tossing him into a cold tub. At the beginning of the video, JPP is surrounded by teammates cheering “cold tub!”; Amukamara isn’t struggling, and it all seems like your standard, good-natured rookie hazing. But Amukamara isn’t a rookie. He’s a second-year player, and was the Giants first round draft pick in 2011. And as soon as he ends up in the water (which is generally kept around 40-50 degrees), and you can see that Prince clearly isn’t playing along, the video takes a somewhat darker turn.
