It’s been a long time since the Slam Dunk contest has been relevant. Yes, in recent past Blake Griffin and Nate Robinson have provided some hype, but overall the event is nothing like it was back in the 90’s. All of that said, the show just go on. The defending champ is Jeremy Evans and his wife Korrie will certainly be watching him attempt to repeat. Jeremy Evan’s wife Korrie hasn’t been in that role…
After a 50+ yard touchdown and a 109 yard Super Bowl record kickoff return touchdown, Jacoby Jones has become a household name in a matter of hours tonight. Before tonight, the 6 year pro spent time with the Houston Texans before coming to the Baltimore Ravens. And until destroying NFL playoff records, he was essentially known in those two cities, and extremely deep fantasy leagues across the county. However, after his instant success, people have…
Justin Smith has never been a man to garner much recognition. In a feature covering the recently-voted most underrated player in the NFL, ESPN chronicled the man who loves to shy away from the spotlight discussing life on and off the field. The dominant defensive tackle for the stout San Francisco 49er defense has come a long way in his twelve seasons in the NFL, but has always had a constant with him. Justin Smith’s…
If you are anything like me, (and judging by the fact you’re reading this post, it’s pretty safe to assume that we have a few things in common) two things stick out right away from the photos of Jed York’s wife Danielle Belluomini. First, Jed did very well for himself by marrying Danielle. And secondly, exactly how old is Jed York and how does he own an NFL franchise? Before we tackle the second topic…
UPDATE: 01/31/2013: In the biggest understatement to ever be written on this site, Colin Kaepernick has been a popular topic of conversation among commenters and emailers lately. Between learning more about the fate of ex girlfriend Corban Fennell, and the emergence of his biological mother, we’ve heard a lot from the Kaepernick army. After launching this post about the rumors of his new girlfriend J. Marie Maestre, we’ve been inundated with conflicting information. Some are…
I love Superbowl week for many reasons, none of which really have to do with the game itself. Think about it, this week alone we’ve had the “God told Ray Lewis to use deer antler spray to heal” story, 49ers Chris Culliver saying he wouldn’t accept a gay teammate then following that with this gem of a quote, “those are thoughts in my head but not how I feel” saga, and now this. Dan Marino,…
What is there left to say about Jerry Rice? The man came from a small Division 1-AA college (Mississippi Valley State) to set all kinds of records in the NFL and is the greatest wide receiver of all time (apologies to Randy Moss, the Mothership and a certain website named after headlines, but you’re just wrong and no amount of stat manipulation can convince me otherwise). The man is a legend and it’s fitting that…
