pigsplosion151Finally, its time for the most important football game of the year – the Pro Bowl. Its the NFL’s annual showcase of their biggest and brightest stars. We finally get to see what happens when a star from one team plays against a star from another team. Unless of course they met previously during the regular season. I guess it all depends on the scheduling. Either way, Pro Bowl! Fuck yeah! Back when I was like, 12, I watched the Pro Bowl every year when I was 12. (That wasn’t a typo.)

Pigsplosive Video of the Week
Remember last week when I didn’t put in a video? Neither did I. Here’s a Pro Bowl-themed video. How long ago is this from?

Game Manager of the Week
Drew Brees went 17-31 with 3 scores.

GMoW Runner Up
Mark Sanchez wasn’t bad on Sunday. 17-30 for 257 yards and 2 scores. His one pick was on an errant pass that went off his receiver’s hand. It wasn’t a good pass, but it was in the general vicinity of the receiver. *makes circular motion with arm*

Fraud!
Brett Favre! Who would have seen that coming!? 26 -48 with 2 picks including… well… you were there. You say it. Vintage Fraudve

bar-refaeli-ramp-04The Quarterback That Was King and an Honorary Hot Chick
Peyton Manning is the best. I can’t believe people would even bring up the “Colts rest their starters” argument. So dumb. 26-39 for 377 yards and 3 touchdowns. So yeah, the best deserves the best. There’s more stunning Bar Rafaeli over at Popoholic.

Movie Talk
Holy shit, Hurt Locker was great. District 9 was really cool. I had no idea what was coming in either film. Just awesome. Also surprising, I watched The Yes Man this week and it was pretty good. Bonus awesome points for Zooey Deschanel.

Pick’emsplosion
Last Week: 2-0 – Much like Peyton Manning, I step my game up when it matters.
Playoffs: 4-6 – I blame Bill Polian for my struggles earlier this post-season.
Overall: Stricken From The Record

American Football Conference (+2) over National Football Conference  – 7:20pm – ESPN
This is more pointless than a pre-season game. Its a horrible football game. David Garrard is involved. Chris Berman doesn’t even have an excuse to wear one of those fuck-ugly Hawaiian shirts now that the game isn’t in Hawaii. Just get rid of the Pro Bowl and have a skills competition.

If you want to learn a lot about this game, (I have no idea why.) Jerod at Midwest Sports Fan put together a post with all the particulars. And LeBron bless him because who really gives a shit about the Pro Bowl? You? You? You? I didn’t think so.
