"Do the Gronk"


Rob Gronkowski has become a living fairy tale over the past five months. A second year tight end out of the University of Arizona, he had a very good rookie season. He pulled in 42 balls for 546 yards and ten touchdowns. Then this year, he put those numbers to shame. 90 catches, 1,327 yards (all-time NFL record), 17 touchdown receptions (all-time NFL record), one rushing touchdown.

He hangs out with porn stars. Patriots head coach Bill Belichick is playing games with the media by having Gronkowski run around in a walking boot leading up to the Super Bowl. And now he's the object of internet songs. Last week, we posted a rap "song" totally devoted to Gronk. Today, we have a re-make of "Monster Mash" by YouTuber "EdTheApe"with Gronk standing in as said monster. Hey, if the shoe (or walking boot) fits...

Goalies Carey Price and Brian Elliott enjoy the Breakaway Challenge



If you watched any of the NHL All Star Breakaway Challenge on Saturday night, it started off as an abortion. The contest winner was to be picked by fan voting and didn't even have to put the puck in the net. The first four or five tries were horrid. Some guys didn't even get a shot off they were so worried about being cute.

But, once the shooters relaxed a little bit, it got interesting. The Blackhawks Patrick Kane put on a good show with the Superman act. However, the most entertaining display was put on by the goalies - Montreal's Carey Price and St. Louis' Brian Elliott. Because putting the puck in the net was irrelevant, the goalies decided it was their time to yuck it up.


Elliott stood still.  Price pulled out the Tebow.  Then Price (as shown above) made a no-look save.  

Detroit dummy called in bomb threat during Lions-Saints game


Dear Mr. Shawn Payton,

It's just a game.

Sincerely,

Goergs

The Detroit Lions 10-6 season ended when they traveled to the Superdome in New Orleans and while they held strong for three quarters, got beat by the Saints 45-28. Overall, Detroit fans took the loss pretty well. Not many expected the Lions to beat the Saints after the Lions were dominated by New Orleans in week 13. However, one Lions fan took the loss extremely hard. He was taking it hard before the loss was in the books.


Shawn Payton, from Jackson, MI, has admitted to calling in two bomb threats to the Superdome during the NFC Wildcard game. According to mlive.com, an FBI affidavit accuses the suspect of making both phone calls within one hour.

After the Saints took a 24-14 lead in the third quarter, Payton's first call was answered by a Superdome receptionist. His message was brief. "I will blow up your building."

Then, at 10:03, when New Orleans had put the game out of reach, Payton had a message the the Saints head coach, Sean Payton.

"Hi, I want you to relay a message to the sideline. If your stupid Southern team keeps winning, there will be reper...severe consequences. OK?"
Payton, the caller not the coach, told the FBI that he was not under the influence of drugs or alcohol. So, he was obviously drunk off stupidity. He explained that he was just disappointed with how the game was going.

Greatest catch in Pro Bowl history, by Brandon Marshall



The NFL Pro Bowl is widely considered to be the worst all-star game of the four major sports. It's usually a snoozefest with guys going half speed the majority of the time and just taking in the Hawaiian sun. But, every now and again, you'll see a highlight that deserves a double take...or in this case, a triple take.

Cincinnati Bengals rookie quarterback Andy Dalton threw up a prayer into double coverage to Miami Dolphins wideout Brandon Marshall. As you'll see, Seahawks safety Earl Thomas and Bears cornerback Corey Graham were the only two guys around to make a play on the ball, yet Marshall ended up with it for a touchdown. NBC's Dan Hicks couldn't believe it...and will need to put in offseason work on his improv.  "Hey, wait a minute!" is amateur hour.

Shaq loses bet, loses pants

Shaquille O'Neal is a new addition to "Inside the NBA" on TNT this year. Just over a week ago, he made a bet with fellow analyst Charles Barkley saying that Timberwolves forward Kevin Love would outplay Clippers forward Blake Griffin in their head-to-head matchup on January 20.

While Love hit the game-winner, Griffin got the best of him. Thus, we got the worst of Shaq as he paid off his bet doing a show without pants. He went above and beyond the call of duty by pulling out moves in the middle of the studio like he was on MTV's "The Grind".

Spoiler alert: You're welcome for the treat that you'll see at the 0:31 mark. You don't even need to thank us.

2012 Australian Open Final: Maria Sharapova vs. Victoria Azarenka

In recent years, women's tennis has become more enjoyable to watch than men's tennis. It might be because most points include some volleying back and forth instead of ace city in men's matches. Maybe it's because you're sick of Andy Roddick's inability to win a big match. Or it's possible that women's tennis players have become sex symbols...and hot blondes beat a sweaty Rafa Nadal any day any time anywhere.

Maria Sharapova and Victoria Azarenka will face off in the land down under Saturday in the Australian Open Final. And while Maria's grunting might annoy the pants off you, it's music to my ears and soothes, uh, well. Miss Azarenka has the grunting ability...and the legs to match up well against Maria. It'll be like a Las Vegas showgirls production with a little bit of sweat. Count me in.

Who's your pick: Sharapova or Azarenka?

"The Gronk Song" makes me uncomfortable


Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski put together the best single season for a tight end ever. Ever. So how's he celebrated? Some guy mashed some words together and came up with the best song fully dedicated to a tight end ever. But before you check this out and expect any sort of musical genius, can you name another song devoted to a tight end?

You won't get Enimen's anger or Snoop Dogg's flow. You'll just get a whole lot of Gronk and a whole lot of head scratching.


You think you can come up with a better song about an NFL tight end? You think you can out-do these lyrics? Go ahead and try your hand with a rap about Cleveland Browns tight end - Dan Gronkowski.


Who’s that man Gronkowski?
If the end zone was a home he’d have a house key.
6 foot 6 he’s never been in any danger,
even though 3 years ago he was a teen ager.

Shopping for him must be hard to do
cause he wears a massive size 16 shoe.
He went to college in arizona
calls Bibi Jones when he gets a Gronk boner

Who’s that man? That’s Rob Gronk?
What’s he gonna do? He aint gonna stop
Let us enjoy the show that commences
as he destroy’s opposing defenses.

If he was alive in 1775
no revolution would be needed to survive.
British soldiers with just one glance
would run back home with wet underpants.
