Here is Drew Brees leading cheers at Lucy’s in New Orleans during the Saints’ victory celebrations. He seems like an all-around great guy. Let us hope this love affair does not spark a Farvian backlash. (Video via The Cajun Boy)

The perfect GIF for New Year’s Eve. We’ve all been there.
Resolution ideas: Read more (obvious), workout more (not just the glamour muscles!), eat healthier (obvious), be nicer to random people on the internet (difficult), listen to your wife (challenging), be optimistic (ha!), be a more savvy gambler, be more organized, try not to wait until you’re out of socks to do laundry, keep the garage reasonably clean, and be a better Facebook friend.

Pop-culture historians will remember 2009 as the year of the sex scandal takedown. Tiger, Letterman, Steve Phillips and to a lesser extent, for reasons unknown, Shaquille O’Neal all had reputations sullied by this newfangled trend called adultery. People enjoy salacious gossip. That’s not an Internet product. We expect such coverage to continue. Here are five sports figures we baselesly project a steamy downfall for in 2010.
Cristiano Ronaldo: The Portuguese star is a dedicated follower of fashion and owns his own boutique. He is always immaculately groomed. He is inordinately concerned with muscle definition shaving his entire body. He wears makeup. He once wore this outfit. He has a strong relationship with his mother, and he’s not on Jersey Shore. Stories about him with women appear in the media rather frequently, but not pictures, apart from staged paparazzi ops. Just sayin…
Brett Favre: After he throws four inane interceptions in the NFC Championship game, Brett Favre’s world will unravel. Facts will emerge indicting him for being too careless in the red zone and having a little too much fun out there during his playing days. We will discover the true purpose of the Vicodin. Wrangler will dissociate themselves with him. Every stock football analyst will offer therapeutic advice, emphasizing how Favre needs to focus on the game of football and playing the quarterback position. They will implore us to not besmirch his sterling legacy in the National Football League.
Carlos Zambrano: Carlos will do nothing embarrassing. However, we as a society will admit there is no plausible way to get tennis elbow from sending e-mails to Venezuelan relatives and that the Cubs tried way to hard to sell that story. We will acknowledge that Carlos shows a distinct ferocity in many facets of his life. We will chortle. We will move on.
Kurt Warner: Warner, honest man that he is, will appear on one of the final episodes of Oprah with his new autobiography, revealing a torrid affair from 2001. The mistress will be equally as shrill as Brenda, and have sported an identical hairdo during the period. He will blame his wilderness period from 2002 to 2006 as God’s punishment. We will ponder the meaning of a secular constitution as the media is prohibited from ridiculing him.
Matt Millen: Like most who publicly display their discomfort with homosexuality, Millen’s closet indiscretions will become known. We will channel Dr. Freud as we reexamine his persistent references to “penetration,” “slipping into gaps” and “pounding butts.” Despite this controversy, we will still remember him for being profoundly awful at his profession from 2000 to 2008.

Dumbest Link Today: America’s Douchiest Colleges
Campus Crime, Fun, Music, NFL, Video 292 Comments »
Guess this link is making the rounds. We received it last night from a reader, and half a dozen times today: America’s 25 Douchiest Colleges according to GQ. (How blog-relevant is GQ’s latest issue? There’s a shirtless Tim Tebow, a muddy Erin Andrews and a revealing Brooklyn Decker.) Schools you wouldn’t expect to see on the list are all over it: Arizona State, Georgia, Princeton, USC and Notre Dame. It’s chatter-worthy, but would have been moreso if the author (authors?) had revealed where they went. Anonymity rocks! Read the rest of this entry »

1. Buffalo Wings – Carnal and manly. Buffalo wings are socially divisive in a productive way. You do not want to watch a sporting event with anyone you would not eat buffalo wings in front of. (Drink Pairing: Light Lager)

Even though Fall is our favorite season – football-filled weekends, the weather, and fond memories of the first day of school – we have to bid a melancholy goodbye to summer, which ends in about a week. These late days in August always remind us of two summers in particular: The one before we left for college, and the one in college where we didn’t work, but instead survived on a steady diet of the pool and partying. Ahhh, summer nights. Eight more days to squeeze in one last vacation and hit the beach. Which brings us to our latest addition to our weekend arsenal: The Sports Hernia. He’ll be handling weekend duties and starting to (hopefully!) chip in on a more regular basis. So welcome him with open arms and linkage and all that other junk you email us that make our days fly by. This will be your last weekend for the year without college football or the NFL. Awesome, right?
