After 16 weeks of blood and pain, wins and losses, the 2010 Pro Bowl rosters have been announced, with Peyton Manning taking snaps as the starting quarterback of the AFC and Drew Brees calling signals as the quarterback of the NFC.   This season’s Pro Bowl is notable because it will be the first Pro Bowl played at an actual NFL stadium (Miami’s Land Shark Stadium) since the 1979 edition, which took place at the LA Coliseum.  You can read the full rosters here.

I’ll have you note I had four of these guys (Rivers, Andre Johnson, Chris Johnson, and Ray Rice) on my fantasy football team this year, yet I didn’t even make the playoffs because I have horrible luck.  I have an eye for talent, but no rabbit’s foot in my pocket to do anything with it.  At least I didn’t have fantasy team killer Maurice Jones-Drew this year; I did have Ochocinco, but he didn’t make the Pro Bowl roster somehow.

For a football fan, the announcement of the Pro Bowl rosters are a bittersweet event.  It’s sweet because it’s two teams composed of the best professional football players on the planet, and it allows for a lot of debate as to whether or not certain guys deserve to be in certain positions.  However, it’s a bitter moment because that means the regular season is almost over and that, entirely too soon, the NFL season will be over.

Tomorrow is the second Sunday in March, and you know what that means.  It’s time for everyone to be grumpy and miserable by missing an hour of much-needed sleep in the wee hours between Saturday night and Sunday morning (unless you live near the equator or in Arizona, where there is no daylight savings plan).  […]

The Hump is one of many trendy foodie outposts in environmentally-conscious Santa Monica, California.  However, a sting operation conducted by the producers of the Oscar-winning short “The Cove,” about the annual dolphin kill in Japan, revealed that The Hump’s airport location has been serving meat from an endangered animal in its sushi.  The Hump’s head […]

Charles L. Stewart’s religious practices are a bit strange.  He claims that, as part of his religion, he had to illegally import a dangerously invasive species of Giant African Snail so as to protect his followers from illnesses.  Stewart, from Hialeah, Florida, maintains that drinking the mucus from living snails is a common practice to […]

Sometimes it’s really, really hard not to make a Polish joke.  For example, when a Polish guy robs a bank with a spoon.  Or, in this case, when a Polish great-grandmother gets banned from riding her bicycle after biking around while drunk.  However, while the concept is funny, the penalty is not.   Keystyna Patycka, a […]

On the remote island of Svalbard, Norway, is the most genetically-diverse spot on planet Earth.  The island itself isn’t the most pleasant place; in fact, it’s a miserable, frozen rock above the Arctic Circle where the only wandering life is polar bears.  However, dug into the side of Platåberget Mountain is the Doomsday Vault.  Better […]

I’m not sure what to blame for this one.  The recession?  The fact that nobody uses cash anymore?  The fact that she robbed what sounds to me like a little bodega?  Take your pick.  Either way, a woman in Thermal, California went to a lot of effort for very little reward.  She used a semiautomatic […]

After one too many close calls with a screeching, honking car, Peter Smith had officially had enough.  Tired of eating dust and getting cursed at by angry drivers, the dedicated bicycle rider from Austin, Texas, started circulating a petition.  Over 2 years and 50,000 signatures later, and he finally achieved his dream:  Google Maps has […]
