If sometime last year your body was inverted and someone took a picture, it was probably in SI's 2007 Year in Pictures gallery

Thanks to Chris S. for directing me towards SI.com's 2007 Year in Pictures gallery. I like looking at that first picture and thinking of Joseph Addai as Joe from Family Guy falling off the lamp post. Oh noes!

Anywho, this will probably be the last post of 2007 (unless I get super-inspired or Tom Brady does a spread in Mini Truckin Magazine). So you guys have a happy new year. Or Happy Hannukah, if you're Jewish.

(For you kids that aren't down with Mel Brooks.)


(Yeah, that one was probably vague.)

I like Kyle Orton's attitude

Congratulations are in order for Kyle Orton from Dallas Cowboys fans for ensuring that the NFC Championship Game won't go through Lambeau Field until Tampa Bay shocks Dallas in the second round of the playoffs.

Good job, Kyle. That was truly a Maximus-like victory.

George Mitchell isn't fooling around

You read the damn thing. I've got shit to do.

I think the Patriots just might go 16-0

Thanks to John M. for directing me towards these photos....

By the way, I'm digging the green shamrock on the front waistband of the Celtics uniforms. Too bad they aren't playing on Christmas... they could've substituted mistletoe on the waistband for one night only. HEY-YO!

Only the good die young

Sean Taylor died this morning. He was 24.

I will remember Sean Taylor as a man who liked to hit people. Hard. He was good at it. He is also responsible for the Only Highlight From Any Pro Bowl That Is Actually Worth Watching.



(After this happened, I was seriously screaming at my TV, "IT'S AN EXHIBITION!!!" like Duke in Rocky IV.)

R.I.P. Boom King.

Oh, and to whoever is responsible for this, you better hope the cops find you before Lamar Thomas does.

I'm pretty sure if Geno Hayes successfully takes out Tim Tebow with a cheap shot, these guys will immediately start dry-humping each other.

Week 11 LOLpicks: Tom Brady is not the Sexiest Man Alive

Patriots -16.5 AT Bills: After being held to just 24 points over the past two weeks, the Patriots offense will finally get back on track. Oh, and Dane Cook, sorry I stole your joke.

Saints (Pickem) AT Texans: Yes, I'm picking a team coming off a loss to the formerly winless Rams on the road against a team coming off a bye week. I AM THE SMARTEST MAN ALIVE.

Chiefs +15 AT Colts: It will be so nice to watch Brodie Croyle grow up right before our very eyes. Just be sure to stop watching once he hits that annoying stage.


Seahawks -6 VS Bears: Seattle looked pretty good on Monday Night Football against that team San Dimas High School(their football does NOT rule). The Bears might have a shot to beat the spread if their quarterback doesn't get too distracted....

Last Week: 1-2-1

Brady Leaf got retarded, ha... he got retarded in here

I watched Arizona's win over the #2 Ducks last night with an Oregon fan. I could tell that he knew when Dennis Dixon went down with a knee injury in the first quarter, and Ryan Leaf's little brother was called upon to salvage Oregon's BCS ranking in an offense that he's totally not suited for, that this truly was the worst case scenario for his favorite team. Unfortunately, there's no entry in the Worst-Case Scenario Survival Handbook for this situation.

I wanted to offer some encouraging words in my friend's time of distress, but I couldn't stop thinking that Dennis Dixon looked exactly like a member of the Black-Eyed Peas with that track suit and wool hat.

Pro wrestling tactics... not just for Pacman Jones anymore

Of course, some soccer players pick up the moves a little quicker than others.

Week 10 LOLpicks: Pay the goddamn writers

Raiders +3.5 VS Bears: Fun little contest here. I'd rather watch reruns of shitty Season 6 of 24 than this game. And I just might have to.

Bills -3 AT Dolphins: Think of all the plumbers in the stadium that identify with Robert Royal in this picture. That's why the Bills' fans love their team. That and the Sabres are so goddamn depressing.

Colts -4 AT Chargers: Playing against a lesser team than the Patriots with the refs on their side, how can they not cover?

(Damn, Sports Guy, and you thought Gregg Easterbrook was crazy.)

Cowboys -2.5 AT Giants: The New York Giants with their six straight wins face off against America's Team with their fresh-faced quarterback and his new contract. You couldn't have written a better script. And if you did, you're a scab.

Last Week: 3-1
Season: 18-17-2

Super Bowl XLI.5 my ass... those commercials sucked

Congratulations, Colts fans! Your team did not have the score run up on them, therefore ruining my first ever 4-0 weekend. By the way, your team's stadium has some acoustic problems that it might want to get checked out.

(By the way, if you are going to pipe in noise during an opponent's possession, why not use something more bad-ass like Metallica's Kill 'Em All? It works for Guantanamo Bay!)

(UPDATE: So that crowd noise skipping sound was from a CBS production error, and not the Colts' super-efficient crowd noise-maker. My bad.)

Anyway, a fine game that the entire country was forced to watch. Let's preserve the moment in pictures....
