    Somebody fill me in on what all the Roethlisberger drama was/is about.

    He took his linemen out to dinner then went to a piano bar.

    TMZ reported he was out past 1am curfew but that seems to be false.

    That's all of it.

    I thought he got suspended for being an asshole. Like he never tips or something. I don't know.

    He got suspended to start the season because of unconfirmed rape accusations. Are you talking about that?

    wait.

    do you mean the Roethlisberger drama, as in why he was suspended at the start of the season?

    EDIT: what Raijin said

    Awesome! I commissioned this guy to make a custom Clay Matthews figure in the style of the McFarlane 6" NFL figures.

    I even got him to add the Superbowl patch since we made it to the game before he was done making it. He even shaved down the shoulder pads to match Matthews' trait of wearing really small shoulder pads.

    Brett Haber is pretty great for a local sports dude.

    Which is a shame, because Derrick McGinty annoys me.

    Monday night when McCarthy did his press conference one of the first things he said was, "Sorry we brought the weather with us."

    My boss was down in Dallas for business last week and got me a Super Bowl XLV shot glass. It's pretty rad.

    She's cute and all but that show is fucking stupid.

    Michelle: "I think [this]"

    Fuck Face Cowherd: "Well I think [this]"

    then Michelle shows poll results and whomever agreed with the ESPN.com poll is the winner of nothing.

    I ran across Cowherd's radio show and listened to it for about ten minutes before I decided that he was absolutely unlistenable; I was subsequently blown away when they put him on sportsnation. He and Skip Bayless are both completely useless empty-headed fucktards and they both keep me away from shows I might otherwise watch.

    Yeah he's a huge nerd but he still can make interesting comparisons. Sports Nation's format is completely senseless. I honestly don't understand how it's a show.

    See, I think Michelle Beadle carries that show. She's easily one of the most clever people on ESPN.

    Also it helps that I think most sports columnists are blowhards, so I hate shows like PTI and Around the Horn. Outside the Lines is pretty awesome though.

    I admit that my tastes are probably way different that most sports fans'.

    Maybe she is but the format is completely stupid. They primarily just discuss completely inconsequential ESPN.com polls and treat them as if they're meaningful (sometimes in front of a rowdy crowd) and it's stupid. I'd give Beadle a chance if she had her own show because she's super cute but SN is unbearable for me.

    I remember when Cowherd was a staunch anti-MMA guy (before it was popular), and now he's SOOOO into it.

    "I'm gonna watch UFC this weekend. It's gonna be so great when that...guy is fighting. Who's that guy?"

    "Brock Lesnar."

    "Yeah, him. He's the best."

    "Cain Velasquez is pretty good too."

    "Are you kidding? He's no match for that...guy..."

    "Brock Lesnar."

    "Right."

    No, he's a paid troll. ESPN pays him to be contrarian. Its been confirmed once or twice by former employees.

    Will wonders never cease. DeSean Jackson of the Philadelphia Eagles actually does something so classy I may actually now be a fan of his.

    http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/blog/shutdown_corner/post/Video-DeSean-Jackson-s-emotional-surprise-visi?urn=nfl-316576

    I don't know how national the original story is, but this poor 13 year old kid got his ass beat down by a pack of older bullies for no reason, and one of them even filmed it. This kid is lucky to be alive, and the video lead to arrests so it worked out. He also happens to be a huge Eagles fan being from Philly. Jackson met with him on live TV as a surprise, gave him the jersey off his back and signed it, they gave him all kinds of Eagles stuff, and tickets to any game next season (which won't be the Super Bowl...because you know...Philly sucks).

    I would pay cash money to see DeSean Jackson and those 2 linemen go out and beat the fuck out the bullies who jumped this kid.
