Quickshots: We Are All The NFL's Beoch
- I didn't write this, but I wish I had. The NFL lays claim to owning an ancient numerical system, colors, a fifth century French symbol and a saying that's been around New Orleans for several generations. I understand they need to protect themselves form people who try to sell unauthorized merchandise, but come on, boys, you are leaning on the wrong people. (Joe Sports Fan via Yardbarker)
- Some great Big Game Trivia. BTW, did you know the NFL tried to trademark the phrase "The Big Game?" (Sportz Assassin via Yardbarker)
- Andrew previews spring training and answers all the questions BEFORE they are asked. Nicely played, sir. (35th Street Review)
- Your 2010 White Sox by the number. (Sox and the City)
- Here's a guy with some serious baggage. It's too bad he was born after his grandpa died.
- Want to get some during the Big Game? Flip this on. (TV Squad)
- In AA, they have a Twelve Step program. For celebrities, they have a three step program: Step 1, go to rehab/jail. Step 2, pour your heart out on talk shows so as to draw public sympathy.

- The genius would like to work for the Chairman again. Yikes!
- Who?
- J.J. believes that if Scott Linebrink can get his slider and his splitter back, he can be the pitcher he was before he sucked. Just like if I walk in and buy a lottery ticket today I'll win enough money to pay off the house and all my wife's medical bills. Not. Gonna. Happen. Evah. (White Sox Examiner)
- This is the ultimate "if a tree falls in a forest and no one hears it" scenario. The answer is, not only does no one hear it, no one cares. No one.
- They have schools in Indiana? I thought you just went out to a cornfield where a genie appeared and told you all you needed to know: Republicans good, corn good, Peyton good.
- Best Big Game ad, ever? (TV Squad)
- Here's some commercials that got cut from the Big Game broadcast. (Consumerist)
- Here's a little something for your big game party. I wish I could make one of these. (The Deuce of Davenport)
- Congrats to Jon Miller, this year's Frick Award winner. He's earned it. So has Vince Lloyd, who probably will never win it being as how he was a local announcer and he's dead. Wonder how Joe is going to feel sharing the booth with another hall of famer? Of course, Joe thinks Marty Brennaman is much better.
- Finally, some highlights from the greatest Big Game ever played:
