Don't ever question the credibililty of the media.

Funny how anything Jay Glazer from FoxSports.com writes is considered Gospel. Even when his sources are unnamed. "Well Jay's almost always right!", people bellow. I hate Glazer - and practically every writer at FoxSports.com. Hacks - all of them.

OK - so what's Peter King's problem then?

Sports Illustrated's Peter King gets on the tube before the Super Bowl this past Sunday and reports that Favre spoke to GM Mike Tannenbaum last week and Tannenbaum told Brett to not rush a decision. However, the Jets then denied King's comments, saying they never said they planned to give Brett Favre "months" if necessary to decide whether to play or retire. The Jets say they're hoping to hear "an indication" about Favre's plans before the NFL Combine.

Peter King says he talked to the Jets and they said THIS. The Jets said that is incorrect. This is why the media sucks and must collectively die.

Super Bowl 43. Good game, a felon and SB ads.

Not caring about either team, I picked Pittsburgh just to make our SB party interesting. So I guess I'm a winner.

1st quarter zipped by quicker than most I've watched. Great game. As I pointed out a couple posts below, I felt Steeler James Harrison should've got the boot after his unsportsmanlike penalty in the 4th quarter. He's a felon-in-the-making.

SB ads? Not the quality we're used to seeing. Blame that on our economy.

My favorite ads were Doritos Sno Globe, Etrade babies, Careerbuilder.com and Hulu (with Alec Baldwin). You can see all the commercials here. The ad "Sobe: Dancers", was done before. Season 3 of Saturday Night Live, Gary Weis did a short film called, "Swan Lake Ballet". And the Jack-in-the-Box ad where spokesperson "Jack" gets hit by a car, I thought, was inappropriate. Here's an article on what appears to be "Jack's" demise. Go Daddy - who was the actress who played "Miss Schmidt" in the shower ad? I used to work for Go Daddy CEO and Founder, Bob Parsons when he owned Parsons Technology in Hiawatha, Iowa. Big supporter of the arts.

Why, hello...Gwyneth McCann-Glover. My god daughter.

FINALLY was introduced to my god daughter - Gwyneth McCann-Glover, yesterday while partying at Donovan and Maria's house for Super Bowl 43. There she is. These Geddes-esque shots are the work of a professional photographer Maria used for Baby Grace. Adorable. She doesn't do much but sleep, cry and poop. I guess I'll have to be patient for her personality to take shape. Oh well, I waited for Grace and I'll wait for Gwyneth.

Amazing how vulnerable they are, huh? She's only two weeks old. I took a couple pix - click on READ MORE!

Steeler James Harrison is a felon.

Why didn't NFL Defensive Player of the Year, Steeler James Harrison get kicked out of the Super Bowl yesterday for his absurd behavior - punching Aaron Francisco and then tossing him back down to the turf after the play? The refs clearly saw what happened. A flag was tossed. 15-yard penalty for unsportsmanlike conduct. Here's the tape of the felon at work. Go to the 1:07 mark.

When you watch the tape, it's very clear that after Harrison's initial hit on Francisco, Harrison hit him FOUR additional times. Francisco was out of the play and not going anywhere. Then Harrison hovers over him like some psychopath. Game face, maybe? No - psycho face. Just ask his girlfriend who had him arrested once for assaulting (charges were dropped contingent on Harrison attending anger management classes). He must have failed. Refs screwed that one up.

Here's an interesting quote which appeared in the Kansas City Star just prior to the SB. Harrison, who had a reputation as an uncoachable player, realized he had to make an attitude adjustment if he was going to stick with the Steelers in his fourth attempt (he had been cut 3x before). “The difference is maturity,” Harrison said. “I handled situations a lot differently than my rookie year. The way I took coaching, the way I talked to coaches...that was all different. I had to change all of that because it was basically the last hurrah."

Differently? Like beating up your girlfriend and beating up a fellow football player?

Incidentally, Harrison set a record for the longest play in SB history - intercepting Kurt Warner and running 100 yards for a TD. Here's the 99-yard kick-off return by Desmond Howard in Super Bowl 31 (Pack beat Patriots) that was formerly the longest play in SB history. I'm not showing Harrison's INT because I don't condone felon-like behavior.

Oh yeah...the Silverback picture (above). Apparently in some circles, Harrison is referred to as "Silverback" - something about the style of his play. I don't want a picture of that asshole on my blog. The Silverback gorilla photo will do just nicely.
