Adidas released a new commercial featuring Zinedine Zidane watching on as David Beckham and Steven Gerrard call out their shots. Accuracy is always key.

This ad brings back memories of those awesome Larry Bird and Michael Jordan McDonald’s commercials.

So what happens when some Navy fans head to Notre Dame to watch their team take on the Fighting Irish? They get the old heave-ho [One Great Season]. Maybe they should have talked to Jimmy Clausen about the rules of Stadium drinking [Sports Hernia].

Here is the video. Manny Pacquiao put a beatdown on Miguel Cotto.

Bring on Floyd Mayweather. This fight needs to happen. For the good of the sport get it done.

Was it actually the right call to go for it on 4th and 2 from your own 28? I keep going back and forth on that. But if you follow the Patriots like I do, you know they went for it in a similar position against the Atlanta Falcons earlier in the year.

Anyway, let me take some great photos and video from around the web and replay this nightmare over and over again. I am a glutton for punishment.

4th and 2 on your own 28 yard line with a little over 2 minutes to go and the great Peyton Manning licking his chops on the sideline. For $1 million dollars, what do you do?

Sports gambling is fun, but only when you win. Bad beats suck moose balls. Thanks Bill Belichick! [Don Chavez]

Now that William Safire has died, it seems the responsibility for commenting on this nation’s usage of its unofficial “official” language falls to me.

It’s a daunting endeavor, but one I embark on nonetheless.

The first linguistic issue to be addressed is our culture’s recent over-reliance on one specific noun.

That noun? DOUCHE.

Back with some pro pigskin picks for you guys. Check out my college picks here. There are no stats with these picks, just ramblin. Hopefully it continues to work for me (+19.8 units entering the weekend). Again, these picks are for recreational purposes only.

Jacksonville Jaguars v New York Jets 1PM

Anytime I can get a touchdown against the New York Jets I am going to take it. Hoping Maurice Jones-Drew can control the clock with some powerful running.

Pick – Jaguars +7 1 unit

Denver Broncos v Washington Redskins 1PM

The Redskins have only covered one spread this year. The team is in disarray. Give me Josh McDaniel and I can’t believe I am saying this Kyle Orton.

Pick – Broncos -3.5 4 units

Atlanta Falcons v Carolina Panthers 1PM

The Dirty Birds are finding their stride. Michael Turner is starting to establish a running game to go along with Matt Ryan’s passing attack. Carolina is too one dimensional to stay in this one.

Pick – Falcons -1.5 3 units

New England Patriots v Indianapolis Colts 8PM

Warning: This is a homer pick. But then again Tom Brady, Randy Moss, and Wes Welker against rookie corner backs. Give me that all day.

Pick – Patriots +3 2 units

After my first losing weekend I decided to take last week off. Not really, I was a little lazy to write up anything. So let me give you some banging winners for this Saturday. As always my picks are made for recreational purposes only.

Georgia Tech v Duke 12PM

Tech is one win away from Tampa and the ACC Championship game. All they have to do is beat the Blue Devils in Durham. Duke was flying high after their three game win streak, but that all ended last week against N. Carolina.

The Devils defense is depleted and you must be at full strength to face the triple option of Georgia Tech. While Thaddeus Lewis may be able to keep it close for a while, the punishing ground game of the Yellow Jackets pull away late.

Pick – Georgia Tech -12.5 2 units

Get out the way! Does anyone in the NBA stop the ball anymore? It was one of the first things I learned when I played basketball in elementary school.

Then again, if they did do that Dwyane Wade wouldn’t be posterizing Anderson Varejao.

Joe Namath is not good at owning dogs:
