Super Bowl Preview

Everyone else is doing it…why can’t we?

Injury Reports are Complete Jokes
After Bootgate, the New England Patriots injury report listed Tom Brady as having an injury (or “injury” wethinks) to his right shoulder. And in what hopefully doesn’t turn into another Dewey Defeats Truman, New York Giants Plaxico Burress predicted a Giants victory in Arizona this Sunday. No one knows what will happen, but we do think that if any team has the best shot against Tom Brady and company, it will be the G-men.

In other Super Bowl-related news, Tom Brady was voted the #7 hottest QB in the NFL. Yes, you read that right – number 7. Fellow Super Bowl QB-er Eli Manning ranked atop Brady on this list, and Kyle Boller of the Baltimore Ravens earned the top spot as Hottest QB in the NFL. Kyle Boller?!?! Who participated in this poll? We believe we are more than qualified to take a closer look at these startling stats and rebuff them. In fact, a poll conducted of our own concludes that Tom Brady ranked #1 hottest QB in the history of the NFL among females, as well as #1 most hated NFL QB among males (i.e. “we’re jealous because not only is he really good at football but he’s also really good-looking and has a hot girlfriend”). We put Tom and Kyle to the test, and ask you…which one is hotter?

THERE IS NO COMPETITION


Wild for the ‘Cats in Manhattan (Kansas, that is)
Like the poster said, 25th time is a charm, as Kansas State beat archrival Kansas 85-76. The best bit of all was actually BEFORE the game, when K-State wunderkind Michael Beasley proclaimed “We're going to beat KU at home. We're going to beat them at their house. We're going to beat them in Africa. Wherever we play, we're going to beat them." One down, two to go. Although, we don’t foresee the NCAA scheduling any games outside the United States anytime soon…

Hanging in there, but for how long?
The Washington Wizards are only 3 ½ games behind Southeastern division leader Orlando, but will the gap continue to widen without Caron Butler? The Wizards showed that they need their potential All-Star, as they were consumed by the Toronto Raptors, 122-83. And speaking of consumption, perhaps Wizznutzz should put the official popcorn of the Washington Wizards in their game-day food pyramid.

And congrats to Caron Butler and Antawn Jamison, who were both named to the East All-Star Squad! Their places as two of the best in the East are well-deserved, as they have kept our Wiz in the playoff hunt, despite the loss of Agent Zero.

Further Proof that TMZ knows all!
Turns out Tony and Jess aren’t broken up after all. You gotta start questioning the credibility of ESPN when it considers OK! Magazine a credible source. This further proves Andrea’s theory that if it isn’t on TMZ.com, it just isn’t true.
