Tebow Heading For NFL Draft? Wait! Not So Fast!

Tim Tebow surprised a lot of us on Sunday when he announced that he is staying at Florida for his senior season. With one Heisman Trophy and two national titles under his belt, simply another good season at UF will ensure his status as one of the greatest, if not the greatest college football player of all-time.

They're saying that if he were to enter the NFL draft this spring, he wouldn't be taken until the 3rd of 4th round. Smart move Tim. Another, smart move. The last great player that I can remember that actually stayed for his senior year was ANOTHER guy named Tim, last name Duncan, you know the HOF forward who played at Wake Forest.

He did have us played though. You're sneaky Tim Tebow! If you get to see the raw footage, Tim just keeps repeating about how Florida has given him so many great "memories." As if he is not coming back. Then, as he is walking off stage, he pivots, comes back to the center of the stage, then finally announces that he is, IN FACT, coming back for another season. Well done Tim. Welllll done! And I'm not even a Florida fan.

Oh, and look for the girl in the Orange top. The last guy to make this many girls go nuts at one time was probably John Stamos during his Full House years, but only when he had the mullet.

Utah Utes: 2009 National Champions!


That's right. I said it. The UTAH UTES are National Champions. Not Florida or USC or Texas, but Utah.

It's ridiculous how we still have teams that are in Division-I, that go undefeated, and still have no shot to be called "national champs." If they are in D-I, and are IN our nation, then shouldn't they have a right to play for it like everyone else? If not, then don't put them in Division-I!

It's funny how calling for a playoff was taboo for years, until just recently when Barack Obama backed the option. Now everyone, from announcers to zebras on the sidelines are pushing for it. They say it's "fair." Well of course it's fair. It took us nearly one hundred years to figure that out!? Golly jeesh.

The only reason we have the BCS is because of greedy people (and universities) that are money hungry. Well I say they're full.

Utah was the only team to go 13-0, beat 4 top 25 teams, and totally destroyed Alabama in the Sugar Bowl, a team that was ranked #1 for weeks during the regular season.In all words of fairness, Utah, just like the 2004 undefeated Auburn team, deserves a shot to play for a title like anyone else. And if you don't like it, then give us a playoff. It's as simple as that.

You have to read this article by Rick Reilly. Great writer. He feels exactly the same way I do...

"Some gifts people give are pointless: Styling mousse to Dick Vitale. An all-you-can-eat card to Kate Moss. The BCS Championship given to Oklahoma or Florida.

It means nothing because the BCS has no credibility. Florida? Oklahoma? Who cares? Utah is the national champion.

The End. Roll credits."

Do YOU Know A 6 Year Old Like This?

Wow, being six years old really isn't what it used to be.
I remember playing "doctor" and "cars" with Erin from next door. Waving to the "big kids" as the elementary school buses went by. Playing in my sand box with my Ghostbusters, Ninja Turtles and G.I. Joes...

Well, today I guess six year olds flee to Africa to get married and steal their parents car in order to get to school on time!

That's right. No joke!
guardian.co.uk
Five and six year olds, Mika and Anna-Bell, from Germany, snuck out in the middle of the night to elope to Africa to get hitched. They hopped on a train and didn't get caught until they were setting foot on the express train to head to the Hanover airport. A security guard noticed the two, along with Mika's sister, Anna-Lena (they're witness, believe it or not!) and notified police.

Another crazy story came out of Virginia on Monday when a six year old missed his school bus and decided to take matters into his own hands. Once again, the parents were asleep (I have no idea how if it's time to go to school!) when the unidentified child stole the keys to the family 2005 Ford Tauraus, and drove 10 miles before finally crashing the sedan into a pole 1.5 miles from the school.

Now I don't know about you, but I got a huge thrill out of driving my Big Wheel and taking a trip t0 Randall's Electric (Arthur, IL)to rent Back To The Future and Mega Man when I was six. NOT driving my parents car and taking a trip to freakin Africa!
2009=crazy days

Seriously, do YOU have outrageous stories involving a six year old(s)?

Grandma Finds Rare 1869 Baseball Card


This deserves a "Sure To Blow Your Mind!"

Bernice Gallego, an antique collector in Fresno, recently found the team photo in a random box of goodies that she was rummaging through in an effort to decide what to sell on Ebay.

The card, expected to be worth SIX FIGURES, is of the 1869 Cincinnati Red Stockings, the very first professional baseball team. Once again, she DID try to sell this on Ebay; starting bid, 10 bucks!!

She quickly changed her mind and took it off auction when she kept getting inquiries from people asking her if the picture was legitimately authentic.

She's now waiting on a buyer after consulting with baseball card enthusiasts on what to do, but here's the kicker: good ole', sweet Bernice says she's never even been to a baseball game, and that she's just extremely lucky.

You can read the full story from the Fresno Bee. One of my favorite quotes, after being told that NY Yankees owner George Steinbrenner may be a potential buyer: Bernice replies, "Who's George Steinberg?"

And here I thought my 1956 Don Zimmer was a gem!

The Bikini Ice Fishing Team

OutdoorLife presents: The Bikini Ice Fishing Team


1st thought: Wow, that's hot.

2nd thought: Wow, that's cold.

3rd thought: Wow......

...who needs L.A. when you have snowbunnies in Siberia? And do they really know how to use those drills?


Really random pic. Really makes me wonder how far models are willing to go. Where DID they take this pic?

Kudos OutdoorLife. You just gave about a thousand men a good excuse to look at, er, READ your magazine.

Jan 10. Is "No Pants On The Subway" Day!


So I'm not quite sure what's up with the "pantsless" stories lately, but they really never get old do they?

Improv Everywhere, a group started by comedian Charlie Todd, has been doing this for years now, only recently it has involved hundreds more people and thus caught on more attention. In fact, the gynormous prank to be held on Saturday will involve multiple cities in the U.S. AND Canada (who cares about frost bite down there, right?? :/ ).

I'm all about seeing some ladies in their undies, who isn't? But what's more priceless are the other people's (er, your grandmother's) reactions!
