Ray Rice got a standing O at practice

At a practice a few days Ray Rice got a standing ovation. I get the fans "rooting for their guy" and all that but holy shit is it a bad look. Think about it, what are they really applauding for? Is it simply just that their guy is there and he can play? That's only because the NFL came down on him like feather. It reminds me so much of when Joe Paterno was being taken down. I was just as disgusted at the students almost rioting because JoePa let someone rape children.

It's just sort of upsetting I guess.

Super Bowl! With bonus pistol chat

Between intense analysis of Ronaiah Tuiasosopo's voice to see whether or not he's the voice of the fake dead girlfriend behind the Te'o hoax, people making asses themselves discussing gays in the locker room, deer antlers, and Miami health clinics it's easy to forget that there's actually a football game on Sunday.

I'm lazy so I'm going to pick the lowest hanging fruit

I was rooting for the Broncos because like any Communist-hating American I wanted to see a Manning-Brady Superbowl. That out of the way though that was a really, really good game and I do feel unironically bad for Peyton. This was also a game that had some historical implications in it. It was the longest NFL game in 26 years and Trindon Holliday became the first player in playoff history to return both a punt and kickoff for a touchdown.
