For those who don’t think we’ve written enough nice things about Drew Brees after his flawless performance yesterday: Yes, he just became part of NOLA lore, and yes, winning a Super Bowl in our opinion vaults him into the ‘best QBs in the league‘ discussion, right there with Brady, Manning, and Roethlisberger. Peter King omitted Roethlisberger, but we’ve got him in there because no QB in the NFL has been better in the 4th quarter in the last five years than Big Ben.
This is Candice Swanepoel who is attractive enough to have been featured twice this season in the Pigsplosion. And really, isn’t that how all women judge their worth? For posterity, here’s another shot. Just like yesterday I’ll be here this morning and Duffy will take over as the darkness approaches.
Oh, and if you guys are posting comments that aren’t showing up, send me an e-mail and I’ll try and get it unstuck…

Minnesota Vikings’ offensive tackle Bryant McKinnie has been kicked off the NFC Pro Bowl squad after missing two practices. For some reason, this makes me laugh. McKinnie missed yesterday’s practice because he was presumably too hungover after a night out at the Mansion Miami club on Thursday. I can’t dare guess how many Captain and Coke’s he had that night. 7 maybe? 8!?
Excuse me while I get indignant. What was McKinnie thinking!? He let down all his Pro Bowl teammates! Making the Pro Bowl is an honor and a privilege and he should be ashamed for the actions that lead to his dismissal. Read the rest of this entry »
Rey Maualuga was picked up for DUI early this morning after hitting a parking meter and a couple parked cars. [This is where the joke about him being a Bengal goes.]
Shortly after 2 a.m. Friday, he was booked into the Kenton County Detention Center after Covington police said Maualuga was driving under the influence. Covington police spokesman Spike Jones said Maualuga was driving his 2003 Pontiac when he struck a parking meter and two parked cars in the 600 block of Scott Street, causing minor damage.

WWE Star Chris Jericho and Greg "Hurricane" Helms were arrested at a gas station in Kentucky at 5 AM Wednesday morning for being "extremely intoxicated," and were both taken in for "alcohol intoxication in a public place." Not exactly stunning. Professional wrestlers hammered at a Gas 'n' Sip is hardly a new thing. The real reason for this post? At first glance, I thought Jericho's partner in crime was Blossom.UPDATE!Hurricane Blossom also allegedly struck three people, including Jericho and a woman. [TMZ, al.com] (21)
Chargers-Jets Arrests: "Of the 69,000 people at the game, 49 arrests were made, and 43 of those involved being drunk in public. Others were arrested on charges such as petty theft, grand theft and battery, Kanaski said. Thirty-three were ejected for rowdy behavior. Police also issued several citations. Most of those arrested were Chargers fans, although Kanaski said he did see a few green jerseys at the prisoner processing area at the stadium." Lucas Oil Stadium holds about 63,000. Our guess at arrests Sunday: 7. [Union Tribune] (36)
Edmonton Oilers, Cheapskates: "The Oilers ... drowned their sorrows and brought in 2010 with the help of $8,248 worth of booze – including two $500 magnums of Dom Perignon and a $250 round of shooters. The alcohol amounted to nearly half the total bill, which reached $16,796.39 once an 18 per cent tip was tacked on, according to a newspaper report confirmed by owner Maurizio Terrigno. According Mr. Terrigno, the team ... refused to pay the full bill and forked over only $12,381.45. Mr. Terrigno said the players argued they should pay for their 'shooters' ... by the bottle rather than the round. He told the press that the players 'went ballistic to the point where they started threatening, denigrating my staff, saying ‘We're the Edmonton Oilers – we expect a 50 per cent discount.'" If this were NFL or NBA players, they'd be crucified in the media. [Globe & Mail] (19)
Jets-Bengals: No alcohol will be served Sunday night in the final game at the Meadowlands. Way to go, Jets. Way to guarantee that nobody makes any noise. So the weekly boob show at Gate D is off, right? [NYT] (41)
Drunk and staggering, a woman fell on the subway tracks in Boston. She touched the dreaded third rail, but wasn’t fried. Everyone on the platform signaled for the train to stop, which it did. Early morning fun! [CBS12 via GMA]
