It's Friday again already? Man, that was fast. The weekend is soon approaching... only a couple more hours to go.

You just ate a big meal, and now things are getting awfully drowsy. Yesterday's football was such a tease-- even though the games were giant turds. I mean, how about those Lions? So that's what an 0-16 team looks like. It was spectacularly bad.

Five o'clock is coming like a freight train, but first you've got to get through these next couple of excruciating hours. . . 

Don't worry... this will help. . .

+ Obviously, if a child who could recognize what a penis is drank through one of these things, the gates of hell would open and we'd all be gang raped by demon spawn. Obviously. [Manofest]

+ Why do I get the feeling a lot of drugs were involved when this guy decided to embark on his career as a human slinky?

... though, it takes him a few seconds to figure it out.

Obligatory Sports Babe

This is Danielle Lloyd, a former Miss England who I've seen called a "Serial WAG". She's currently with Liverpool's Ryan Babel, after previously dating several other footballers: Jermaine Defoe, Marcus Bent, Armand Traore, Gerard Pique and Teddy Sheringham. (Yes, Teddy Sheringham) (

Gruden To Notre Dame? Not Likely

Joe Bucs Fan speculates that, once the axe falls on Charley Weis, Jon Gruden's agent "will flood many reporters’ e-mail inboxes with 'inside information' that Chucky is talking with Notre Dame officials." The reason being: leverage. Fearing for his client's job, they figure "Chucky’s agent will float the Gruden-to-Notre Dame rumors as a ploy to get Chucky’s contract with the Bucs extended."

More On Minnesota Bathroom Sex

A messageboard at Hawkeye Lounge has produced a photo of the mother of three who went to the bathroom during a Minnesota-Iowa football game last weekend, and ended up getting arrested for having sex (in front of several cheering onlookers) with some dude who was not her husband-- who was still at their seats.

Isn't American Thanksgiving Over Yet?

I guess not, because the Wiz of Odds has handed out their 2008 Turkey Awards for College Football-- which had a lot of turkeys this year.

Kaka Is Really Good With Balls

And as Dave's Football Blog suggests, "It looks like it should be an ad for something, yet I don’t see a logo on there anywhere."

... according to the Big Lead.

It's once again time for a word from our sponsors. (Though again, these are, obviously, not actually our sponsors.)

Here we have a Japanese commercial featuring MMA fighters Mark Coleman and Wanderlei Silva, um... shaving each other and, at one point, getting squirted on. Uh... yeah...

Chase Utley's strength comes from... Vaseline?

Roger Maris Action Baseball is... well... not particularly funny. Old, though. Definitely old.

This one isn't funny either, but the hot girl in this shampoo commercial is married to Denver Bronco Casey Wiegmann. So...

The new Nike "Chalk" commercial featuring LeBron. And chalk. Because apparently people have noticed his little pre-game chalk ritual. And made a commercial of it.

Joe already posted this on the Footy Blog, but for those of you who aren't reading that religiously (which you should be), here's Michael Ballack demonstrating his impressive kicking ability.

Another one that Joe caught recently is this awesome Franck Ribery Pink Panther commercial...

And lastly, we have a soccer ball causing a bit of an embarrassing incident. Ho ho ho.

I know that it's fun and all to work on your ridiculous trick shots that have absolutely no use whatsoever during game situations, but these damn kids today have really taken it to a new extreme. Apologies for the grainy video, or if these tricks are pretty run of the mill-- I honestly wouldn't have a clue-- but here's another one of these kids with way too much time on his hands.

Thing is, though, he's doing some tricks that, to this layman, must seriously be defying several laws of physics. WTF...
