It doesn't happen often, in fact up until recently there was only a single instance of a person getting a DUI while Zamboni-ing. We now have a second! Joel Bruss of Apple Valley, Minnesota became the lucky second contestant when police were called in to the Hayes Arena after witnesses saw him bouncing off the sideboards and "careening" wildly on the ice.Upon approaching Bruss, police noted that he was "unsteady on his feet and smelled of an alcoholic beverage." After failing field sobriety tests, Bruss was taken to the station for a more comprehensive blood alcohol test.
Here's my question, how drunk is too drunk to drive a Zamboni? It's in an enclosed rink, everyone gets off the ice in advance of it, how dangerous can it be, really?
We need some scientists to get on this ASAP; I'm willing to be a test subject if they need one...

This video of New York Giants Pro Bowl defensive lineman Jason Pierre-Paul doing flips isn't new, it's from 2009, but I had never seen it before. I'm already terrified of the Giants defensive line (and in particular their ability to get their hands up in the passing lanes and potentially tip balls for interceptions) and this video of JPP doing about 400 backflips in a row isn't making me feel any better...
Terrifying. People that big, fast and strong shouldn't ALSO be able to do flips like ninjas. That's just not FAIR.

In the type of comment that really has to warm the cockles of Roger Goodell's cold, dead heart, the NFL must have been PSYSCHED to see this quote from Tom Brady about what how he watched the Super Bowl last year:"Last year, I was rehabbing my foot in Costa Rica watching the game on an illegal Super Bowl website and now I'm actually playing in the game, so it's pretty cool."Considering that the NFL viciously cracks down on the live streams of games (which is especially frustrating for this Patriots fan when he wants to see his team play and NY television is only playing the stupid fucking Jets. I mean, who even CARES about those losers?) Goodell probably couldn't have been more excited to see one of his league's biggest stars advocating using illegal streams of the games. Particularly since the NFL was a firm supporter of the abysmal SOPA legislation.
I AM however impressed by Brady's Internet acumen to stream the game. Is Tom secretly a computer nerd?

In Mexico, where bullfighting is very popular, bulls are also involved in a number of religious ceremonies, like the Candlemas celebration that occurs on February 1. As part of the festivities a pack of bulls is let loose in the streets of Tlacotalpan, Mexico as crowds taunt them.
That seems like a good idea. Particularly for this one dude who is sure to be talking falsetto for the rest of his life after taking a bull horn into his junk.
OWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!
Wait a minute, now I get it. Mess with the bull and you get the horns! Of course!

Media day at the Super Bowl is always a wild affair and every year the Spanish-language networks send the most dick-wrecking, amazingly ridiculously hot women to interact with the players. Thank GOD for Spanish-language television.
In recent years Televisa Deportes has sent their reporter, Marisol Gonzalez, a 2003 Miss Universe contestant, to the Super Bowl. While I know the players are used to insanely hot women talking to them, I don't know how ANYONE can even form proper sentences in her presence.
Just look at the dress she wore at Media Day.
That's just INSANE. How does one even get into that? (And by one I obviously mean ME.) Good GOD. I think a quarter bounced off her ass would rocket all the way to space.

As the St. Louis Cardinals unexpected postseason success continued a local rodent became famous, the Rally Squirrel was born. It was during Skip Schumaker's at-bat against Roy Oswalt when the squirrel made his first appearance, something Topps decided to celebrate.
Schumaker's devoted fans might be disappointed when they collect the newest Schumaker card, he isn't even on it! Well, unless you consider a pant leg to be a proper representation of the utility infielder. Instead Topps went with the squirrel.
Thus Skip Schumaker becomes the first player to be preempted from his OWN baseball card.
Burn.

I like Kendrick Perkins, he was a loyal and good player for the Celtics and an excellent defensive stopper. On Monday though there was a freight train coming his way (in the person of Blake Griffin) and if you're still standing on the tracks when the train comes, you're dead.
Taking a pass from Chris Paul, Griffin goes up HARD and slams the ball down in EASILY the best dunk of the year so far.
I'd say this dunk would hold that title for the rest of the year but I know that Griffin will just top himself. Is there a term stronger and more powerful than "beast"? Because it simply isn't enough.
Just fucking AWESOME. I think Kendrick Perkins' grandchildren will be scarred by that slam.

no commentsI'm going to go out on a limb and suggest that New England Patriots tight end Aaron Hernandez is a tattoo enthusiast. On the field fans are treated to his complete arm sleeves but we so rarely get to see the rest of the work on his body canvas. Fortunately, Super Bowl week means lots more photos and as a result, this shot of Hernandez's gigantic back tattoos.
I'd think that all that work might be painful, but then this is a dude who makes a living having huge hits leveled at him so a little needle probably isn't that big of a deal...

At the beginning of the season Tiquan Underwood wasn't even on the New England Patriots roster. With a receiver corps that (after Wes Welker and Deion Branch) leaves much to be desired, Underwood has amazingly found himself in the playoffs as the #3 receiver on the roster. The owner of the best high fade in pro football, Underwood opted for team pride in getting his 'do touched up before hitting Indianapolis.
Go Pats!!!

No one in the history of the (long and rich) Winter X Games history has ever five-peated a single event, nor has anyone ever scored a perfect 100 in a snowboarding event. Then again, no one in snowboarding history has ever been as good as Shaun White.
Competing with an ankle injury that prevented him from doing the snowstyle event, White still managed to put up the highest score ever in the super-pipe competition. And that was all prior to his final run, which, much like his Vancouver gold medal winning run, was ultimately a victory lap, having already won the event.
He didn't disappoint.
Perfection.
