Vegas will throw money at you in high profile games you just have to dig in and find the handouts. According to Bovada, no onside kick occurring in Sunday’s Super Bowl is a heavy favorite (-180) which tells you this game is an obvious blowout.

This line isn’t the free money yet, you gotta read between the lines. Vegas is practically guaranteeing a blow out and either way you can surely find an alternate point spread, say a -10 or -14, for both teams that’s paying out big bucks.

Jump on those lines, enjoy Elsa sing the national anthem, come back for Katy Perry’s breasts at halftime and just sit back and collect.

Days away from Superbowl Sunday and more importantly Puppy Bowl Sunday. A tradition unlink any other, its time to buy all the mock draft magazines and give real thought to your Fantasy Puppy Bowl team. Right out of the gate I thought there were a lot of strong names on the board, the people behind this didn’t cop out and steal names of the 2014 list of most popular dog names. Spent a lot of time reviewing the options and taking notes, but at the end of the day it comes down to feel.

First things first I wiped half the field out. No chance I’m going into this war with a female dog. Too prissy, too needy, just not enough grit to compete at the level I expect. It was tough to pass on the Lab Retriever and Terrier Mix, but avoiding some of those intangibles that come with a girl dog will pay dividends in the end. Lets look at the field.

Bubba- So I went in with only 6 options and my first potential is a Chuhuahua. Well were down to 5 choices because the yippy Taco Bell dog can bring the trash talking, but is the quintessential all talk no walk dog and wont be a Yuppie Yinzer.

Papi- Papi’s another strong name, but this isn’t the Puppy World Series. That being said, the Corgi’s measurable’s, mainly his short legs/arms are going to cost him a roster spot this year.

Henry/Hank- Springer Spaniel Henry came to tryouts and impressed scouts with his pure strength. He earned the nickname Hank the Tank and made final cuts, but unfortunately was only the 4th best talent available.

Titan- Boom Titan, the American Bulldog is the Captain and everything that’s right with our squad. Has always been interested in Bigfoot, which sold us he’s a no BS kinda of guy.

Bryan Adams- Love at first sight, this Lab Mix comes to the field with a team-first mentality, reminding everyone “Everything I do, I do it for You.” Love that kind of selflessness in the ultimate team sport.

Freckles- Aint nothin but a Hound Dog. Great ball vision, will hawk the defense and we think we can count on a couple game changing plays.

So there you have it, jump on and try to put a better squad together. Hint: You cant.

(Adweek) Sequels are tough. For every Godfather Part II, there’s a Godfather Part III. But Budweiser and Anomaly had such a big hit with “Puppy Love” on last year’s Super Bowl, they couldn’t resist going back to the well for another look at the “Best Buds”—the Clydesdales and their favorite golden Lab. (Bud’s actually calling it the third installment in a trilogy, counting 2013’s “Brotherhood.”)

So airing Superbowl commercials on Youtube ahead of the game has apparently is commonplace among companies spending million on Superbowl spots and it blows my mind. 364 days of the year commercials in my house are either muted or fast forwarded through. Superbowl Sunday however gets a reprieve, as well give the commercials our attention. Today thought I come across a video of the entire commercials that’s going to air Sunday. The fuck? It’s bad enough Black Friday is swallowing Thanksgiving whole but that’s to make more money. No idea how taking the fun out of the Superbowl for most of its viewers helps the bottom line. I personally was never interested as a kid in finding my Christmas presents since I believed in the sanctity of Christmas and the excitement of new things. I don’t even want to be in a room with the wierdo who’s seeking this things out, wait til Sunday bruh.

(Rolling Stone) Just three months after it was announced that Bridesmaid director Paul Feig would reboot the Ghostbusters series with an all-female cast, the four actresses who will don the proton packs have been revealed: Kristen Wiig, Melissa McCarthy and current Saturday Night Live stars Kate McKinnon and Leslie Jones. Feig tweeted his Ghostbusters casting news Tuesday night along with the film’s scheduled release date: July 22nd, 2016.

If its too good to be true it probably is. If everyone’s leaning one way in Vegas, you go the other way. They found probably the 4 funniest women in Hollywood right now so it makes sense that the formula works right?

Fuck no.

The real Ghostbuster’s was great because Billy Murray, Dan Aykroyd, Harold Ramis, and Rick Moranis made them great. They were the Ghostbusters. Anything Hollywood threw at us was bound to be a disaster because sometimes the nostalgia of a great movie cannot be recaptured. That fact is only going to be exposed even more when you look at the manner in which they are rebooting the franchise.

It’s a known fact that men are better than women. Today a color coded map came out showing how much more money men make than women in each state.

We live in a world where men are more valuable than women. And in a case where the male cast reboot would have sucked, we can only extrapolate that an all woman cast will also flop.

Today is the kind of day where in college I would look out the window, say fuck it, and go back to bed. People say they like living in regions like these because “you get 4 season.” Truth is, you can take winter and shove it up your ass.

These days however I’m a big boy and have to take the ride into the city everyday for my real job. Since this city doesn’t like money as much as the next and won’t extend the T north, I’m driving in and parking at Consol everyday for the low price of $7.25! But the silver lining to all this is I then have the fortune of a half mile walk in this blistering cold to my office where every year I forget about, hands down, some of the dumbest people on earth. I’m talking “I should hand out condoms and forbid them from procreating” dumb.

I’m all for finding a way to skip out on work. Hell as I type this I should probably be doing a bank reconciliation or something. But if you think you can say anything that’s going to convince me that voluntarily walking outside to freeze for 5 minutes has any merit, you my friend are a moron. For god’s sake its 2015 get with the times and buy some E-cigarettes and sneak a puff in your cubicle.*

*Anyone who tries to stop you from smoking an E-Cigarette or Vape indoors is a certifiable asshole. Should you choose either option for your nicotine fix and are asked to cease using indoors, simply ask the person to identify the flavor. If they’re right then you should stop but good news, they wont guess right because they have no scent. Bitch please, get off me.

Since I am fair and balanced and don’t care how dumb you are if you read my site, I came across a hell of a product if you choose to smoke outside. They’re called Smoking Mittens and kinda make a lot of sense.

(Source) LeGarrette Blount could not reach his seat at the Super Bowl media event before he was confronted by two former Steelers teammates. Unlike his rough and sudden exit from the Steelers in November, Blount, now with the New England Patriots, was greeted by warm handshakes and hugs from Brett Keisel and Ike Taylor. Blount did answer with a soft “No” and a shake of his head when asked if he orchestrated his exit from the Steelers. He would not answer whether he knew the Patriots might have wanted him back before he left the Steelers. “It’s an honor to be back here, you know,” Blount said. “I enjoyed my time here when I was here last year, and it’s an honor to be back, just the fact that they care enough about me to bring me back here.”

He has pretty much been a scumbag since before he was an NFL guy. He made headline’s at Oregon when he socked a Boise State hardo in the face after an early season upset.

The thing is, he could have been our scumbag and if he were here to spell LeVeon Bell we would have beat the Ravens. Textbook Rooney / Tomlin, every successful team has balance and sometimes you need a scumbag to hoist the Lombardi (Blount, Ray Lewis, etc).

Looking ahead we can find some fandom in our ex here, but more importantly, Aliquippa’s finest, Darrelle Revis. He’s a homegrown legend and we wish him all the best locking down Revis Island this Sunday. Ironically his old stopping grounds north of the city, referred to as ‘The Pit,’ seems to have its own layer of scum.

Once a proud, bustling steel mill town, 20 minutes north of Pittsburgh, Aliquippa has since rusted into a state of drug infestation, gang life and urban flight.
Once 30,000-people strong, rich in ethnically segregated neighborhoods, steeped deep in old-country traditions, Aliquippa now lays riddled in abandoned slum rows, littered with the devastation of crack and other street drugs. Now, barely a third of the population remains.

Sad indeed, but just reaffirming the new age golden rule…. Every team needs their flavor of scum.

(Source) A big honor is in the works for a sports legend. Dick LeBeau is leaving the Steelers after 56 seasons in the NFL, including a dozen here as defensive coordinator. We’ve learned City Council is poised to proclaim February “Dick LeBeau Month” in Pittsburgh. He’ll be honored in council chambers next Tuesday and several of his former players are expected to be there, including James Harrison and Ike Taylor. City Council member Darlene Harris is behind the effort. Coach LeBeau’s son Rick said his father was very moved to learn about the honor, calling his reaction “hard to put into words.”

Crazy move here by the city of Pittsburgh honoring a guy that dumped them. Coming on the heels of another ex over achieving with a new “beau”, the city has decided to dedicate an entire month to the last guy who dumped them.

On January 10th, hall of famer and creator of the zone blitz, Dick LeBeau decided to step down from his post as Steelers defensive coordinator. He was a key piece in each of the last 2 Steeler Superbowl wins so naturally his departure was met with sadness, but at the same time an understanding that it was time hang it up, being 77 years old.

But hold the phone, eleven short days later there’s report that Dick taking lesser job with a lesser team.

The first rule for relationships and careers is never dump your current until you have the next one lined up. We were so naive to forget this golden rule, allowing this old man to mask his true intentions with his age. Arizona too would only get a tease because less than a week later hes changed his mind again.

Makes sense on paper to join forces with Ken Whisenhunt who coached the Steelers from 2001 to 2006, but why on earth did Darlene Harris decide this guy should have an entire month dedicated to him, let alone the same month that has been dedicated to African Americans for almost 40 years.

The obvious thought when you look around the city, is “ah well its a white city anyway.” And while that might seem a bit prejudice, its actually quite right. Pittsburgh is legitimately the whitest city in the US.

Ah the classic “ethics or economics” debate. Obviously Darlene got her eye on the bottom line and is throwing her budget at honoring the Titans coach to grab pull on the nostalgic strings of Steeler fans.

Ahhh a tradition unlike any other. The second news drops of an impending snow storm, be it flurries or a blizzard, everyone freaks and runs to the grocery store.

Milk. Check.

Eggs. Check.

Bread…. Raisin bread?

No real fuckin bread.

Oh ok found it. Check.

There’s a whole industry of dried fruit everyone can successfully ignore. These son of a bitch raisins somehow still find ways to weasel themselves into our lives. In this case not even the fear of being snowed in for months can scare a sane person into buying raisins.

Oddly enough the raisins first cousin, wine is the go to for any pro doomsday prepper. Real pros can actually trick people into believing their bunker is actually a “wine cellar.” Just don’t ask them why there’s a pallet of bottled water next to their Cabernet Sauvignon.

(Source) Two decades after the final episode of “Full House” aired in 1995, the cast reunited over the weekend and it was glorious. John Stamos, Candace Cameron Bure, Jodie Sweetin, Bob Saget, Andrea Barber and Lori Loughlin got together for the show’s creator Jeff Franklin, who celebrated his birthday on Saturday.

The first thing that pops right off the screen at me is that Kimmy Gibler is way too present. She was pegged as the annoying neighbor / friend parents despise. She was pretty gross to look at then and did not fall into the ugly ducking turns into a swan story so shes still pretty gross. Why is she always front and center anytime these people get together like she was the reason people tuned in. Only explanation is whoever is orchestrating these get together’s and/or the planned series revival thinks the fan base is dumb enough to substitute the Olson’s for Kimmy. The people dont want to see how she turned out, we want to see how a spoiled cute kid went down a the filthy road and returns home a broken addict.

A few years ago Uncle Jesse admitted Aunt Becky was the one who got away. These things gotta kill him every time he shows up because Lori Loughlin is a fine wine only getting better with age. He tried to supplement Aunt Becky for Rebecca Romijn and that was clearly a dud, one can only hope Lori will “Have Mercy” and get back on Uncle Jesse’s dick.

Finally, this kills all the credibility for the Hardo Bob Saget thing Danny Tanner has been trying to pull over where he tells dirty jokes and is a preferred prostitute customer on Entourage.

He’s just trying to fill the void Full House left in his heart and I guarantee he has the hardest boner for the Full House revival. Hopefully they don’t botch this revival like the Boy Meets World one. The writers need to realize that their target audience got 20 years older too and to tailor the show for that audience. Just because it was a nice family show in the 90’s doesn’t mean it will work today. Family shows don’t exist any more. Family shows toe the line of racism in shows like Blackish (seriously have no clue how that title is ok), and pretty much have to include a gay character.

Perfect opportunity here to take Uncle Jesse’s twins and make one of them gay and the other an addict and the bombshell arrival and/or death of Michelle can bring the ole family back together and maybe explain why all these grown adults are living in the same house.

Antonio throwin straight fire flames in Scottsdales. Unfortunately he wasn’t able to win it for Team Carter as I predicted*.

*Antonio was on the field at the end ready to win it but the Ginger Poster boy somehow snuck into the Pro Bowl since Brady and Wilson were ineligible and the likes of Brees and Rodgers were nursing injuries. Could have been better off with the fuckboy from Baltimore but his wife is due to have a kid and couldn’t make the trip. Laughable that the two NFL franchises have at best the 4th and 5th best quarterbacks in the state after Cardale Jones, Braxton Miller, and JT Barrett at The University of Ohio State.

On the other hand Emmanuel Sanders was the big guy on Team Irvin. In the shadows all week of this season’s talking point, Odell Beckham Jr, our ex Emmanuel snagged 5 balls, 2 for touchdowns, and 70 yards and it certainly was painful. Hard to imagine not being in the Superbowl with Emmanuel lining up opposite of Antonio.
