Rex Ryan Invited to Nathan’s Hot Dog Eating Contest … IF Jets win
I mean, just look at that gullet! (Image via Boston.com)
Well this is just fantastic. Word from Deadspin is that Major League Eating is offering Rex Ryan a seat in the 2010 Nathan’s Hot Dog Eating Contest … if the Jets beat the Colts this weekend. That’s right, if the Jets win, Rex will go stomach to stomach with the likes of Kobayashi and Joey Chestnut for global eating supremacy.
If I were the Colts I’d be worried right now. If Rex Ryan ever needed any more motivation to win on Sunday (more than, ya know, going to the Super Bowl), I’d say a tray filled with Nathan’s famous franks is probably his definition of heaven.
And if I were Kobayashi and Chestnut, I’d be worried too … it’s like they just invited Jabba the Hut to compete against them.

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.

VIDEO: LaDanian Tomlinson-Style Electric Glide
Ummm … wow. I have no idea why or where this bizarre new dance video from Ladanian Tomlinson came from, but … just wow. I’m speechless.
Seriously, this is the strangest thing I’ve seen in a long time. It’s like a freaky Electric Company video for kids, with the follow-the-bouncing-ball lyrics, 70′s-era special effects and of course, his motley crew of back-up dancers. Can someone explain what the hell is going on here?!?
UPDATE – Apparently this was filmed by Nike a few years ago as part of an LT marketing campaign. In this radio interview, Tomlinson reveals the origins of the LT Style Electric glide.

Note to self: don’t wear opposing colors to an Eagles’ game
Snow and football games always make for some great memories.
This video comes from Sunday’s Eagles/49ers game in Philly, where Eagles’ fans showed their Christmas spirit by pelting a few poor, unsuspecting 49ers fans with snowballs. Mercilessly. Until stadium security has to escort them out for their own safety:
Although these guys may have been foolish to wear 49ers jerseys into the Linc, at least they had the foresight to wear helmets to keep them from getting brained.
And as always, you stay classy, Philadelphia!

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: 6-Year-Old Lays the Lumber
We’ve all seen football games where one person stands out as being clearly more physically gifted than the rest of the players on the field. In high school and college, you can generally spot the guys who are going to advance to the next level right away … and it’s generally fun to watch.
But at the Pop Warner level, that sort of difference in skill can be downright scary. Meet Nyrel Sevilla: the hardest hitting 6-year-old the world may have ever seen:

Brett Favre for Wrangler Really Tiny Jean shorts
From the guys over at FunnyorDie.com, comes this comedic take on this commercial featuring our all-American hero Brett Favre. It also draws attention to Favre’s affinity for jean shorts, which is something we at RnR HQ have long been aware of.
(WARNING: Contains excessive, but SFW, testicular exposure for comic effect. In fact, you may want to avert your eyes around the :38-:45 mark)

The Aaron Rodgers Sack Tracker has been working overtime
(Screen Shot via madison.com)
The Green Bay Packers offensive line has been horrendous in pass protection this year, allowing 37 sacks on QB Aaron Rodgers. That’s already more than the total number of times Rodgers was sacked all of last year, and they are on track to destroy the Packers club record for # of sacks allowed in a season (62). In fact, if the way the OL played against the hapless Bucs on Sunday was any indication (6 sacks allowed), Rodgers has a good shot to break David Carr’s 2002 all-time record for # of times sacked in one season (76).
Fortunately, technology has blessed us with the Interactive Aaron Rodgers Sack Tracker, so we can keep track of Rodgers’ progress from week to week. But be careful not to put all of the sacks for the season up on the tracker at once … just trust me on this one. And don’t say I didn’t warn you.

Ochocinco takes Twitter fans out to dinner
For all the jackassery he exhibits on a regular basis, as far as I can tell, Chad Ochocinco would probably be a pretty cool guy to hang around. He’s clearly certifiably insane (you know, in a fun kinda way), and I certainly wouldn’t want him on my team … but he seems like he’d be fun to hang out with.
Last night, to celebrate the Bengals overtime victory over their in-state rival Cleveland Browns, Ochocinco made the following Twitter post:
Anybody in Cincy want to join me for dinner, headed to J Alexanders in Hyde park, dinner on me
Ochocinco later posted this photo of himself with about 20 Bengals fans who took him up on the offer:
Ochocinco celebrating with his Twitter nation
I count 20 dudes and 2 women in that photo. Sweet ratio.
But seriously, that’s pretty effing cool of Chad. Can you imagine something like this happening with your favorite athlete? He even posted a photo of the bill, which was surprisingly light all things considered. I mean, if I went out to dinner with an NFL player, you’d better believe I’d be getting myself more than a burger and chicken fingers.
