Around the Web Wednesday: Rex Ryan Gets Animated

How many times did Rex Ryan have an animated reaction in Sunday’s game? According to CBS, Ryan had 8 animated reactions in Sunday’s game, just below his season average of 9 animated reactions per game. I wonder who they made watch all the film to figure these stats out? Stay tuned to the next game to see how many he has.

Iowa Teen Takes Tebow Cutout to Prom

Well this is awkweird.

As first reported by the Sioux City Journal, Iowa teen and Kingsley-Pierson High School senior Rachel Bird – who is apparently a big Tim Tebow fan – sent the Jets QB/FB/H-back/Punt Protector a tweet asking him to be her senior prom date. When neither Tebow nor his agents responded to her request, Bird took matters into her own hands, creating a life size cut out of the New York Jet , complete with a wooden handle and supports.

Naturally, Bird’s prom date was a big hit with her classmates, who convinced her to enter herself and the cardboard wonder as a couple for the Grand March. Bird and her cardboard cutout were then introduced as, “Rachel Bird, Escorted by Tim Tebow.”

“It was awkward, but people asked me to stop for photos during the grand march,” Bird explained. “Believe me, this isn’t something I ever thought I’d be doing.”

(Girl – Me either. Me. either).

But the fun didn’t stop there. Bird, “Tebow” and the guys and gals from the entire K-P prom danced the night away. As one local news station’s website hilariously noted,“girls wanted to dance with her quarter-inch-thick escort.” (these jokes just write themselves) and several boys broke the handle off the cutout during a fast song.

Oh, and in case you were wondering, Tebow did not accompany Bird to any after prom events. She left him at home because, “The after-prom would have been too much.”

I’ll just leave that one alone. » Continue reading “Iowa Teen Takes Tebow Cutout to Prom”

Need $1 Million? Just Sleep With Tebow…

(Photo: depshots/flickr)

Welp, America, I think we have now officially entered into the ”crazy/creepy/obsessed” territory in our interest in New York Jet Tim Tebow’s virginity.  Seriously, things are getting out of hand.

Seems the cheaters’ website AshleyMadison.com is offering $1 million to anyone that can prove that she has been with Tebow, you know, like knows he won’t be flying free on Virgin Atlantic anymore.

According to the website:

AshleyMadison.com founder and CEO Noel Biderman says Tebow should embrace his status as a sex symbol. “Sports and sex (and of course, infidelity) go hand in hand. If Mr. Tebow is indeed abstaining from adult relationships, I would encourage him to find a nice lady or two and enjoy his youth and fame as much as possible. We are beyond the days where pre-marital sex has a social stigma, and it is my hope that soon we will also feel the same about infidelity. I guarantee that no man of Tim Tebow’s stature could survive a season in New York without succumbing to the temptations of the city (i.e. pull a Brett Favre).”

Sooo…yeah…   If you have never heard of AshleyMadison.com, I applaud you as it’s a site designed for people who want to cheat on their spouses.  Gotta love the Internet, right?

Are we really that concerned that Tebow’s not gettin’ some that we are now willing to PAY WOMEN to seduce him?  I weep for humanity.

Friday FAIL: Tebow’s V-Card

Why, yes, I have my V-Card right here. Can I board now?

(OK, I’ll admit this more “WTF?” than FAIL, but whatever.  My site, my rules.)

In the wake of the Tebow to the NY Jets news, Virgin Atlantic reached out to the well known virgin and gave him an offer:  Stay a virgin and we’ll fly you free from NYC to London whenever you’d like.

Yep.  V-Card = Free flight.

Despite the obvious question of how insulting is such an offer to the quite religious Tim Tebow, I have a few more… » Continue reading “Friday FAIL: Tebow’s V-Card”

Tune In Tuesday: Favre 4 Ever

March 5, 2008 – The day we thought was the end of a storybook career, but only was the beginningof  a wild, new ride.  March 5, 2012 will mark 4 years since Brett Favre announced he was retiring from the Green Bay Packers and the NFL.

I was born the year Brett Favre was drafted by the Atlanta Falcons (so I’ve watched Brett my whole life, and as a Green Bay fan growing up, he was all I knew).  The following year was when the real story began though: Ron Wolf pulled the trigger and traded for some fella named Brett Favre (although, no one knew how to pronounce Favre at the time).

2012 marked the 20 year anniversary from the Favre to Packers trade.  No one knew at the time, but that little trade for some unknown gunslinger was one of the best things to happen to the NFL.

Say what you will about Brett Favre and how the last 4 years have unfolded.  But NOTHING can take away to how much Favre meant to Green Bay and how much they meant to him.

When Brett Favre was playing, all eyes were on him (even Randy Moss couldn’t help but marvel at his oppponent).  Favre played the game like he was still down in Kiln, Mississippi playing with some buddies.  On the field, he might have gotten slower as the years went on, but his rocket arm and his love for the game never changed.  Each Sunday, he played like it was his last game and left everything he had on the field.

What Not to Wear: Ines Sainz Edition

Some of you might be familiar with Mexican sports reporter Ines Sainz, who is quite popular for not only her coverage on TV Azteca, but for her good looks (she is the self-proclaimed  “hottest sports reporter in Mexico”).

Ines was spotted at Jets practice today wearing this Azure dress, along with some simple white four-inch heels.

Deadspin, which was one of the first sites to post the photo, refers to the dress as cocktail attire. I don’t know too many gals who would be caught dead wearing THAT to a cocktail party but I also don’t know too many gals who would be caught dead wearing that to a football practice.

Nevermind that it’s an ugly dress and it’s not very practical to wear high heels on a field, although plenty of ladies do it.

Am I the only one who ends up with grass, dirt and mud all over them and really, who wants to ruin a perfectly good pair of shoes? (Which these are not).

Not really sure what she was thinking when she put this on.

This story is news (sort of) as Ines got caught up in an unfortunate situation last year with the Jets. Some allege she was sexually harrassed, or at the very least treated improperly, on the practice field and in the Jets locker room following a game.

The Jets apologized for the situation and Ines said she was “not offended,” but it did start quite the debate about how women are treated in the male-dominated world of sports.

So for record, Ines did not feel she was harassed but did admit she was “uncomfortable” via her Twitter. In fact, Ines got pretty upset with the women’s organization that filed the complaint on her behalf, claiming they fueled the story for themselves.

Most were very quick to blame Ines’ fashion choices for her treatment, as she wore “tight” jeans (which really weren’t that bad) to Jets practice and a black dress with a rather low neckline to the game that Sunday.

I will never ever fault a female for being beautiful or blame her attire for being mistreated, but it would certainly help her case to wear something a little more appropriate, because believe it or not, it is possible to a woman be feminine, beautiful, and yes — sexy — and still look appropriate for “work.”

Bottom line, whether you are a Victoria’s Secret model, an Academy Award-winning actress, a reporter for the TV Azteca or an everyday gal, please DON’T wear this to Jets practice.

The Bold and the Beautiful

Ever since Jets starting QB Mark Sanchez appeared in a photo spread for GQ magazine, he has been given a load of grief by fans, the national media, the NFL, the Jets locker room and even his own head coach.

This morning, Pro Football Talk tweeted an article titled, “Aaron Rodgers calls Mark Sanchez in GQ ‘Embarassing‘.”  The article, written by Michael David Smith, explains how the Packers quarterback pointed to Sanchez’s infamous GQ magazine shot in the white jeans and called it “embarrassing.”

Rodgers was very up-front with his opinion of page 94.

“Look at this.  That’s embarrassing. Page 94 of the GQ thing here. That’s terrible.”

Alright, now hold on a second.

First things first, I LOVE Aaron Rodgers. So, please, don’t accuse me of hating on him or talking smack about it because I respect the guy on and off the field and really, this isn’t about him so much as it’s about everyone who is taking issue with said magazine shoot.
