Here is a YouTube of the Coke Zero commercial shown during the Super Bowl.

Troy Polamalu does a nice job in this commercial and the Coke guys are fun as always, but the ripping off the guy’s shirt to imitate the ripping off of a jersey didn’t do it for me.

What do you think?

Kellen Winslow never seems to stop causing controversy. He is at it again, only this time it results in a one game suspension.

Winslow lashed out at GM Phil Savage, never a good thing to do.

Winslow lashed out at Savage after the Browns’ 14-11 loss to the Washington Redskins on Sunday.

While still in uniform, Winslow had an animated discussion with Savage in a hallway outside the team’s locker room. Following that, Winslow sat in front of his locker and made his remarks in an unemotional tone first to The Plain Dealer before other news organizations gathered around.

Winslow said his previously undisclosed illness was a staph infection and the Browns concealed it. He said he was upset he did not receive a phone call from Savage while he spent three days in Cleveland Clinic, saying he felt he was treated “like a piece of meat.”

In two preseason games Calvin Johnson has now posted 7 catches for 154 yards and looked impressive doing it.

Last year Calvin was not healthy and he played with a sore back. This year is different.

Johnson was bothered by a back injury most of his rookie season. Kitna said Johnson never complained about it but admitted in the off-season he was 65-70% after going down in Week 3 at Philadelphia.

“Being 100% is totally different for that guy,” Kitna said. “He’s a freak of nature.”

Calvin Johnson has size and speed. He also has huge hands that are perfect for a receiver. After being drafted second in the 2007 NFL draft there were high expectations with some analysts saying Calvin could be a Pro Bowler for 10 years in a row.

Here is a YouTube of Calvin Johnson.

George Carlin passed away after many years of making us all laugh at the irony of everyday life.

George died Sunday at the age of 71. He was most famous for the “Seven Words You can Never Say on TV”. Back when Carlin came up with that routine there was a lot of censorship of TV. There seems to be very little of that these days.

Here is a YouTube of George Carlin explaining the difference between football and baseball. It is hilarious and George is brilliant.

Pay extra special attention to the ending. It puts it all into perspective.

In my world, George will be missed!

Ok, Brian Urlacher showed up in the Chicago Bears camp.

Even though the Bears seem to have a problem signing linebackers every year now, it appears that Brian will at least show up at Mini-camp. Good idea with a daily fine of over 8K and a possible bonus loss of 5.7 million dollars while facing child support.

Though the ability of the Bears to recover that much money from Urlacher is debatable since under the CBA’s proration system the unearned portion of the signing bonus is at most $3.7 million, Urlacher has likely gotten enough exposure to the court system through his ugly child custody battle to realize that skipping out on a three-day practice session isn’t worth the potential price tag, whether the number is $3.7 million, $5.7 million, or something in between.

Ran across a really funny story about Brian Urlacher concerning UFC fighting champion Bas Rutten. The story is in the YouTube.

First a little background about Bas Rutten.

You know how Dallas and Terrell Owens get upset about Jessica Simpson?

Well, now it appears that the Boston Celtic fans are upset about Giselle Bundchen, you know, Tom Brady’s girlfriend.

Maybe she heeded the plea in Wednesday morning’s Boston Herald, which, ever so politely, told her to FREAKIN’ STAY AWAY.

“Memo to Tom Brady: If you decide to take in Game 5 at the Garden, puh-leeeze leave the girlfriend at home!” the Herald wrote. “It has not escaped Celtics fans’ notice that when Gisele Bundchen was in da house last week, the Green Team’s perfect home playoff record suddenly came to a screeching halt.

“Talk about déjÀ vu all over again! Because the last time Gi was front-and-center at a big-time sporting event, Tommy and the Patriots were busy losing their bid for perfection at Super Bowl XLII!”

First Jessica Simpson and now Giselle Bundchen, are fans superstitious or what?

Tedy Bruschi was spotted at game 5 of the Boston Celtic/ Detroit Piston game at Boston Garden. He was getting bigger ovations than Kevin Garnett.

Tedy actually helped the gorilla make a stuff shot. Tedy held the ball as the gorilla grabbed the ball and did a flip and jammed the ball.

Catch this YouTube of Tedy Bruschi. It is called “Tedy Bruschi: Half man, half God, half possible centaur”. It is really funny.

Tedy Bruschi is revered by fans because he came back from a stroke to play linebacker. How is that even possible?

On February 16, 2005, Bruschi was taken to a hospital with symptoms including temporary numbness, blurred vision and headaches. Bruschi suffered a mild stroke. He suffered from a PFO (Patent Foramen Ovale) which is a congenital heart defect. Bruschi suffered from partial paralysis and was admitted to Massachusetts General Hospital. After several months of rehabilitation working with Spaulding Rehabilitation Hospital in Boston, Bruschi announced that he would sit out the 2005 NFL season.[1]

On October 16, 2005, it was announced that Bruschi had been medically cleared to resume playing football and he rejoined the team on the practice field three days later. The Patriots officially activated him on October 29, and he played the following night against the Buffalo Bills. ESPN broadcast this game and had several features on Bruschi’s return. Many interviews about Bruschi were shown, some during key plays in the game. Following the game, Bruschi was named AFC Defensive Player of the Week. Bruschi played in all but the final game against Miami and was ready to suit up for the first playoff game against Jacksonville. He was named the 2005 NFL Comeback Player of the Year, an honor he shared with Carolina Panthers wide receiver Steve Smith.

So, yeah, the New England Patriots may have Tom Brady and Randy Moss, but nobody has a player with as much courage as Tedy Bruschi.

The Detroit Lions rid themselves of Shaun Rodgers.

Shaun is a former All Star, what gives?

Shaun was a player that could seemingly do anything from defensive tackle spot, except play all the time. He only played when he wanted to and that frustrated Coach Rod Marinelli, so the Lions got rid of him.

Will Shaun shed his bulk and be an All Star at Cleveland? Doubtful, but let’s wish him the best.

Check out this YouTube of Shaun Rodgers running back a 66 yard interception against the Denver Broncos.

Every year was a melodrama with Shaun. Will he lose all the extra weight? Will he play hard?

One year he was suspended for most of the year for using diet drugs in the summer. Later that year he had to have surgery, because his knee was banged up and he was so overweight it was killing him.

At times, Shaun played at an All Star level and no one could run up the middle. At times, Shaun played even harder and would blow up double teams to get at the quarterback. He was a master at blocking field goal attempts.

But too many times Shaun just loafed and that is why he is gone.
