I love targeted ads! Gmail just sent me here to check out the this awesome MSU Spartan gnome.
At $21.95 it’s hard to say no to this stellar lawn decoration. Maybe I’ll put him on the floor of my office so my co-workers can rub his hat before gameday.
Cincinnati Bengals WR Chad Johnson has reportedly official changed his last name. Usually change name because they want something more unique or need a new identity. However, the-wide-receiver-formerly-known-as-Johnson had odd motivation in changing his name. Believe it or not, his new surname is now “Ocho Cinco,” his jersey digits in Spanish. From the ESPN.com article…
Two years ago, Johnson gave himself the moniker — a reference in Spanish to his No. 85 — and put it on the back of his uniform before a game. Quarterback Carson Palmer ripped it off before the kickoff. After the season, coach Marvin Lewis — who dislikes Johnson’s attention-getting stunts — referred to the receiver as “Ocho Psycho.”
This is truly hilarious. The QB and coach didn’t like his attention getting scheme, so he legally changed his name so he could have that name on the back of his jersey! Insanity!
Marshall Faulk on the story:
Also, what in the heck. Chad Johnson thinks he can swim faster than Michael Phelps? This guy is both hilarious and out of his mind.
Everybody has little tricks they came up with to provide therapy when they’re having a long day. Well for a MSU fan, nothing cheers us up quite like watching UM losing games. Of course, the most satisfactory of these University of Michigan losses are the ones that all the sports broadcasters claim they should’ve won. If you don’t understand why this is such a big deal, then you didn’t grow up in the state of Michigan, where the only thing media talks about from late summer through to late fall is the talent and successfulness of their beloved Wolverines. Well for those of you who bleed green, here’s a quick way to cheer yourself up.
