We like sports.

We also like comedy. Glad we established that. Without further ado:



Quite possibly the greatest sports interview in 5-10 years. So good, in fact, that Jimmy Rome doesn't even know how to react to most of it. Some main points:

1. Dude is coming in strong with that beard. REAL strong. The only thing that contends with that facial hair is this fine display of upper lipness.

2. Jim Rome: You get fined a thousand bucks for orange spikes.....What was the fine for?

Brian Wilson: "Duhhuhhpssst....(unamused)....having too much awesome on my feet?"....(Rome laughs, Wilson still unamused)..."clearly, that was the reason."

3. Scroll to 7:20....please.....and see him break out this and this.

New favorite closer? No? ummmm, moving on?



Old Spice continues its dominance of the commercial with one of their most ridiculous ones to date. We don't even know where to begin with this one....Wow. Lets shift to some more football:



Sorry, we tricked you on that one. We forgot to say (Un?)American football. Nonetheless, we feel like no one mentions this anymore. Yes, this did actually happen in 1997. Yes, that is Brazil playing France. Yes, that France team went on to win the 1998 World Cup. No the goalie didn't even move. Yes, it was just proven a few weeks ago by a French scientist that it was, physically repeatable:

Best free kick ever by Roberto Carlos was no fluke, claim scientists

As the Independent reported:

"Using tiny plastic balls and a slingshot, the French research team from the École Polytechnique in Palaiseau near Paris varied the velocity and spin of balls travelling through water to trace different trajectories.

While their research quickly confirmed the long known Magnus effect, which gives a spinning ball a curved trajectory, their research revealed fresh insight for spinning balls that are shot over a distance equivalent to Carlos' free kick."

Our question: Where are the physicists on this one?

What could top that? The finale:



To commemorate the start of football/Patriots season this Sunday, what better video to show you than a young a restless TFB. If only Tommy knew in this video that on September 9, 2010 he would be inches away from serious injury, only to sign the richest contract in the NFL later that day. Good omen? Good haircut?

True Story.
