This hilarious Lethal Weapon 3 poster spoof – with Chad Ochocinco, Tom Brady and Bill Belichick playing the roles of Danny Glover, Mel Gibson and Joe Pesci, respectively - is apparently the new avatar for Ochocinco’s Twitter account.

Good stuff, but this new partnership hasn’t exactly proved to be “lethal” so far. Unfortunately for Chad, it seems as though he’s spending way more time on Twitter than he is studying the Patriots playbook, netting just 11 catches for 201 yards and 0 touchdowns this year. And while it’s definitely cool, let’s not pretend that Chad actually tried his hand at photoshop and created this masterpiece himself … I’m guessing it’s a piece of fan art from one of his nearly 3 million (!!!) followers.

Both Tim Tebow and Ndamukong Suh are now available in cut-out paper doll form, which when fully assembled become full-on 3-D mini-versions of their NFL selves!!! Well, not exactly … I mean, it’s not like the Suh doll is going to start battering your co-workers, or paper Tebow is going to start inspiring everyone around the office (that one’s a maybe). But it ‘s still good, clean fun and brings us all back to our childhood a little bit. So grab your scissors and your color printer, and let’s get ready for arts & crafts time!

First up, the Suh doll from the Detroit Free Press, which you can download as full-size PDF files in both home or away jersey (shown):

But apparently, the Free Press was merely picking up the gauntlet thrown down by the Denver Post, who originated the paper doll trend with their 3-D Tebow desktop doll (full-size PDFs also available in Blue or Orange jerseys, with a separate file for his helmet). This one even comes complete with his trademark under-eye stickers w/biblical messaging!:

A couple of thoughts:

* Few things of late are more satisfying than the sight of Peyton Hillis running through the Baltimore Ravens defense. It has been 20 years since the Browns had anything like it on the ground. Not sure it will last — this is Cleveland, he’ll probably tear his ACL tomorrow — and the Browns still LOST to the Ravens, but I don’t care. Watching this guy smash through that traitorous mess of a team was fantastic.

This guy is AFC North material. (Source: Zimbio.com)

* When I ask myself which team better step up huge and win at home this week PRONTO — or face a house cleaning — it’s the New York Giants. This team is on the brink of disaster, but a win over the 3-0 Bears (who don’t scare anyone yet) will go a long way to fixing the beginning of the season. New York seems like a team in search of something — anything — to grasp onto.

* Love how everyone spends all offseason talking about the Cowboys and Giants — and, to some degree, the Redskins due to McNabb and Shanny — and then Philly goes out, once again, and outplays everyone.

* Wicked tired of the Steelers.

* Have the Pats become the late-80s Chicago Bears? We respect them due to their somewhat-recent history, some of the star players are still hanging around, and we know they’ll win 11 games and reach the playoffs — but something is just out of place. They aren’t a Super Bowl team, and we all know  it — and they know it. They’ve become the team that gets bumped in the Divisional round for the next three years.

* Detroit fans would take that life in a second.

* I just fell asleep for a few seconds while typing…

* Last night I had a strange dream where Belichick traded Brady to the Bucs for a second- and fifth-round pick. My wife didn’t feel the dream was significant enough to wake her up to recount at 4:03 a.m. — she made that clear. Sounds absurd, but BB’s the same guy who jettisoned Kosar and Bledsoe early enough to shock everyone.

* I hate doing laundry. It always somehow drops into my Sat/Sun schedule. Then I refuse to do it, and I’m fishing button-down shirts out of the hamper to start the workweek. Driving to the office in a wrinkled blue mess that smells slightly like jogging shorts that were peed in — the Browns 0-4 and nobody made coffee.

* T.O. and Ochocinco = snoozefest. Slightly more intriguing than Albert Haynesworth. Slightly less intriguing than Phil Simms and his folksy non-attempts at humor.

* Problem: Fourteen teams are impossible to believe as playoff contenders.

* NFC East might feature one playoff team.

* AFC East might feature three (but Miami needs to start winning prime-time games at home).

* Brady has soft, womanly hair. I think he’s had some sort of work done — fueled by Giselle’s input. Some sort of hair transplant, softening, thinning, conditioning type thing. He was dealing with male-pattern baldness a few years back — now he looks 22. Something ain’t right. I think some people are aliens.

* If Peyton Manning grew his hair out like that he’d look like some sort of half-baked, poor-man’s Matthew McConaughy (I’m tired and don’t care if I spelled that wrong). Peyton needs to do something unusual. He’s a dull robot.

* I get annoyed by: People who rave about the commercial acting of the Manning Bros. They are relentlessly tedious.

* I do not understand why the Bills hired Chan Gailey.

* I do not understand why Chan Gailey refused to upgrade the quarterback position before the start of the season — I couldn’t give a hoot about the Bills, but I admire their fanbase, and I’d accept the concept of them BURNING PEOPLE ALIVE right about now. This is a quarterback’s league. It’s Week 4 and there’s zero hope in the Upstate.

* I don’t understand why Chan Gailey isn’t leaning on C.J. Spiller to save his job right now. Spiller is a freak speedster who’s been given the ball 12 times in three games.

* The Cowboys don’t want it enough. Tony Romo is on the edge of being classified as a con man, root being “confidence man,” or “a person who swindles another by means of a confidence trick.” We all bought it. This guy was going to give Jerry three titles to walk away into the sunset with. NO.

* Eighteen games? Really? We can’t keep players healthy for 16, so what’s the point?

* Oh, right… the point is money.

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.

Here is the invitation itself.  It makes sense when you think about it, since Nathan’s originated in NY, so they would naturally be pulling for the Jets:

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.

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.

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!

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.
