The Big Lead scored a sweet interview with SportsCenter anchor Scott van Pelt."Ahhhhh, the blogs. I have tried to open up a dialogue with a number of them. You, AJ over at Deadspin - my dear pal Will before him, Brooks at Sportsbybrooks, Brian at Awful Announcing among others.
"The purpose of this is not to try to earn points so that if I take a picture of my junk on my phone or use it to leave another horrifying voicemail you won’t run it. You WILL run it and be giddy to do so. I have come to terms with that. The purpose is to try to remove the illusion of us and them that existed. There is no us and them - there’s just us and you all have become part of it as the face of media morphs."
He is a bright guy, that Scott Van Pelt. Too bad that he's such a golf freak.
Sports by Brooks picks up the moderately hysterical tale of Newcastle United striker Shola Ameobi. Ameobi came home to find clothing strewn everywhere and his checkbook missing. In a panic he called police and detailed a list what was missing. As cops were on their way to investigate the break-in, he stumbled across the “stolen” items and had to call the cops back, and tell them not to bother, because he had left it so messy it just looked like a burglary.
The video quality is weak, and normally we don't like Steven A. Smith, but his response to what Skip Bayless says about Tim Tebow is freaking hysterical.
We are going to guess that someone who works at "Jeopardy!" is not a New England Patriots fan.
Just think. By Sunday evening, we all will know who is going to the Super Bowl. We are betting our entire collection of vintage Playboys on the Ravens and Cardinals to cover.
