I forgot how bad this commercial was on Super Bowl Sunday:
Does anybody else get creeped out watching Jim McMahon get a spray tan at the end of this commercial?
I guess Boost Mobile accomplished what it wanted by creating a memorable ad. Creepy as hell, but memorable.
Philadelphia radio host Garry Cobb reported Friday that the Eagles have extended a long-term contract offer to quarterback Kevin Kolb, although Scout.com’s Adam Caplan is denying the report.
From the CourierPostOnline.com:
The report, which cites an anonymous source, surfaced on the personal Web site of former Eagles linebacker Garry Cobb, a host on Philadelphia sports-talk station WIP (610-AM). Terms of the contract extension weren’t mentioned in the report.
An Eagles spokesperson said the team doesn’t comment on contract issues, and a league source said Cobb’s report was “ridiculously false.”
Usually, with sudden reports like these, the truth is somewhere in between.
It’s more likely that talks between the organization and Kolb have begun, but the sides don’t want to make negotiations public.
It’s in the Eagles’ best interest to play things close to the vest. They have three quarterbacks on their roster that could start for either them or elsewhere and they can’t divulge their plans until they know what teams are interested in which signal caller.
Chances are that Michael Vick is a goner. The Eagles don’t want to pay Vick’s 2010 salary ($5.25 million) to watch him ride the bench and not get compensation for him when he becomes a free agent at the end of the year. If a team like the Rams or Bills offer a fourth or fifth round pick for the former starter, it would be surprising if Philly passed.
Now, the real question is what the Eagles want to do with McNabb and Kolb. Do they want to commit to Kolb and close the door on the McNabb era? Or does Andy Reid want to give McNabb one more shot to win a Super Bowl before committing to Kolb in 2011?
If I were to take a stab at predicting what will happen, I think the Eagles would trade McNabb if they can land a first round pick in return. If not, they’ll stick with McNabb for one more year and then commit to Kolb in 2011.

Japanese snowboarder Kazuhiro Kokubo, who is expected to contend for a medal in the 2010 Winter Olympics, was banned from the welcoming ceremony in Vancouver after Japanese Olympic Committee officials weren’t pleased with his dress attire.
From Yahoo! Sports:
With his sagging pants, untucked shirt, and loosened tie, Kokubo looked like any sloppily dressed 21-year-old. But that’s not going to fly. According to one Japanese Olympic Committee official, “It is not the way the Japanese delegation should dress themselves while taxpayers’ money is spent on them.” Uh-oh.
Kokubo, who is expected to contend for a medal, was banned from a welcoming ceremony in Vancouver after there were complaints about his clothes. The snowboarder followed that up by saying the Olympics are “just another snowboarding event,” and that they are “nothing special.” Uh-oh again.
When I first read this, my thought was who cares? He’s a 21-year-old snowboard – how else do you expect him to dress?
But after giving it more thought, it’s nice to see that the Japanese Olympic Committee is taking this seriously. The Olympics are not only about competing for your country, but also representing it both in and out of events. How hard is it to wear your suit the right way when you’re out in public? Especially when taxpayers are footing your bill to compete.
Trey Kerby of Yahoo! Sports put it best in the above article:
The anti-authority stance permeates snowboarding, but there are certain times when you have to play nice. One of those times is the Olympics. Your country is paying for you to represent them. You get the chance of a lifetime to do something hardly anyone else gets to do. And it’s all free. Pretty sweet deal. So just go with the flow.
Well said.
The Dagger says so…
This was the game of the year to date, no question. Nine days after Pitt lost by 19 in Morgantown, the Panthers got revenge – the catch being it took 55 minutes to do it. Pittsburgh 98, West Virginia 95 in not one, not two, three overtimes.
Read the recap here.
One of Tiger Woods’ many mistresses says that the golfer owes her an apology.
From the Orlando Sentinel:
“I would like an apology and to wonder why, if he did have all these other women, why he was so insistent on me staying?” Los Angeles cocktail waitress Jamie Grubbs tells KTLA. “Why put me through that if I didn’t mean anything?”
Is she serious? Did she actually believe that Woods was banging her on the side and not seeing other women at the same time? He’s Tiger freaking Woods – if he was cheating on his wife with one woman, chances are there were others.
I hope that this is just her attempt to get some publicity, because if she seriously is looking for an individual apology from Tiger than she’ll be waiting a long time. I can see the press conference now:
Media: “Tiger, Jamie Grubbs is seeking an apology for the way you treated her. Do you have anything to say?”
Tiger Woods: “Who?”
Media: “Jamie Grubbs? She’s a Los Angeles cocktail waitress?”
Woods: “Hmm. I’m usually nice to cocktail waitresses…usually tip them 15 percent.”
Media: “No Tiger, this was one of your mistresses: Jaime Grubbs.”
Woods: “Not ringing a bell.”
