I just dropped a somewhat absurd amount of money on memorabilia.  Won't say specifically, but there was a comma in the invoice, and I'll be heading to the stores first thing in the morning to pick up even more cheap junk.

 

Edit:  Interesting little stat I just heard since I'm jacked and can't sleep so I'm just watching the nfl network; teams that have scored a defensive touchdown in the super bowl have won 13 straight games.



Aww, poor Cam couldn't handle the post game press interviews.

What happened? Did he go all gangsta?

Not even a little bit. You could read the transcript if you'd like to get the full picture. It really won't take long.

He'd have to be gangsta first.  He just sat there pouting with his hoodie on and left after three minutes.  Being sour and upset is fine, he could have sat there giving direct, curt answers all night, but stomping off like a petulant child--especially after reveling in all the attention as he did--is pathetic.

 

Also, all these talking heads on espn saying that cotchery drop was a catch, can't stop laughing.  I know their job is muckracking, but come on, in what bizarro world is that supposed to be a catch?

Denver Broncos Safety TJ Ward after the game:

They want to be famous. We want to be champions. They want to be rappers and backup dancers. We want to play football.

D-A-M-N!



Demaryius Thomas pretty much had the worst post season performance for a number one receiver for a Super Bowl winning team. He pretty much didn't show up yesterday and against the Patriots and didn't do much against the Steelers either.

Honestly, I don't see anything wrong with that. I only read the text though.

Did he spit at the journalists?

The man sulked his way through the mandatory interview, and walked out in the middle of a question. I find Newton's sulking entertaining.

I don't think anybody likes to get asked the same question five times. I don't blame him for leaving when the journalists had run out of questions so quickly.

He walk away because he could hear a Broncos player talking about his play on the opposite side of where he was sitting.



I tell my oldest daughter I'll call her in sick tomorrow so we can all just go directly to the parade, but she doesn't want to skip because of her perfect attendance record. So now I have to take her to school and then come back a couple hours later to take her out so she can keep it in tact though it's pretty far out of the way. I swear, her sense of responsibility is kind of annoying.

Need to get off the internet, buying so much cheap, kitschy crap.
