Only t-minus four days until the big game, so now is the perfect time to start thinking about the most important part of our Super Bowl party-- food. Nachos, sandwiches, pizza and anything greasy goes, as long as it's hardy and semi-manly. But how the heck are we supposed to choose with so many delicious options out there? Answer: go big.

The folks at NFL GameDay were just as blown away as we were with her smooth moves, and invited her to be on Sunday's show.

College Football 2012 – Week 11 Recap

Wes Glinsmann — Sun, 11 Nov 2012 13:37:00 +0000

Now things are getting interesting.

Texas A&M threw college football for a loop, pulling off the biggest upset of the season and, at least for the time being, knocking the SEC out of the national title picture. But that was far from the only excitement this week in college football.

Here is all the action from around the Top 25.

Football Player Gives Up Touchdown for Grieving Teammate

Emerald Catron — Sat, 03 Nov 2012 19:12:07 +0000

So this video might not make you cry, but the story probably will. Michael Ferns, a senior at St. Clairsville High in Clairsville, OH, gave up a touchdown one yard from the end zone so that his teammate, Logan Thompson, whose father died two days before, could score instead. Coach Brett McLean had secretly been [...]

Watch What Happens When the Illinois QB Tries to High Five a Ref

Ben Chew — Tue, 09 Oct 2012 19:00:43 +0000

There are times when a high five just isn’t appropriate, as University of Illinois quarterback Nathan Scheelhaase found out over the weekend in a match-up against Wisconsin.

Pee Wee Football Coach Accused of Paying Players to Injure Opponents

Mike Adams — Mon, 01 Oct 2012 21:46:40 +0000

Kids wanting to be just like their athletic heroes is nothing new, but a Pop Warner football coach emulating the New Orleans Saints' "Bountygate" program, where players were paid extra to injure members of the other team? That's a twist. A very upsetting twist, if you ask the parents of the 10- and 11-year-olds who got the short end of this deal.

Reports made earlier last week allege that Darren Crawford, head coach of the Tustin Pee Wee Red Cobras, offered his players cash bonuses up to $50 for the "hit of the game," sometimes awarding even more if the opposing team's best player was hit so hard he had to leave the game.

Football Player Pulls 'Super Trooper' Prank, Meows 14 Times During Interview

Jeremy Taylor — Mon, 01 Oct 2012 17:20:53 +0000

Atlanta Falcons safety Thomas DeCoud is clearly a fan of the movie 'Super Troopers.' In the cult comedy, one of the chemically-altered cops wins a bet by managing to say the word "meow" ten times while writing up a motorist for a moving violation.

During an interview with ESPN, DeCould tops that by meowing 14 times. SportsCenter anchor Bram Weinstein either has no idea what is going on or is the best straight-man ever.

Flo Rida 'Whistle' Parody Spoofs Replacement Refs

Jeremy Taylor — Thu, 27 Sep 2012 00:38:41 +0000

There is a consensus developing that if NFL commissioner Roger Goodell doesn't bring back the striking referees soon, folks are going to stop watching football because the replacement refs have been so stunningly horrible. However, we're pretty sure this isn't true. In fact, the awfulness of the scab refs has now become part what makes the NFL so entertaining. (Granted, Green Bay fans or anybody who bet on the Packers Monday night would probably disagree.)

Check Out the Official Song of the 2012 NHL Lockout

Donald Deane — Fri, 21 Sep 2012 13:15:55 +0000

The 2012 NHL lockout is only about a week underway, but singer/songwriter Vicki Shae of Winnipeg-based radio station QX 104 already has a song ready to mend the broken hearts of fans everywhere. And it's a nifty parody of Taylor Swift's 'We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together' to boot. Nothing lessens the sting of a painful labor dispute more than a heartfelt breakup tune, right?
