I’ve seen people around the internet compare the WAGs of Super Bowl 45 and certain players’ hair. Now, Lil Wayne has given us another point to compare the Pittsburgh Steelers and Green Bay Packers: Fight songs. Yesterday, Lil Wayne dropped Green and Yellow, a Packers-centric cover of Black and Yellow by Wiz Khalifa. Black and Yellow itself is now the Steelers’ fight song. So let’s put these songs head-to-head in a fight song rap battle of Super proportions. Continue reading

NHL Power Rankings: Week 18
Alright, there’s been two whole days of action since we last did the Power Rankings last Thursday. That means we don’t have a lot of movement in the rankings. That doesn’t mean that we don’t have things to talk about thanks to the CBC/NHLPA player survey. It also doesn’t mean that I wasn’t able to move a new team to the top of the Power Rankings. Continue reading
DiPietro vs. Johnson – The First Goalie Fight of the Season
I can’t believe we’ve had to wait until February for our first goalie fight but here it is. You wouldn’t call the Islanders and the Penguins a fight-breeding rivalry but it was at the end of tonight’s game. Rick DiPietro took a shot at Pittsburgh’s Matt Cooke and Brent Johnson took exception. When ensued was what I call a two-hit fight. Johnson hit DiPietro and DiPietro hit the floor. Video and GIF after the jump. Continue reading
Lowdown 2011 NHL All-Star Game Results
Well, we’ve been trying something special with our coverage of the new format NHL All-Star Game. Let’s cap off our coverage with a statistical analysis of who would have won if our two teams had actually faced off. Our readers thought that Team Jackie would have dominated the action and left Team Murray in their dust. But let’s dissect the teams with some fancy maths to find out whose team was most likely to win the big game. Continue reading
SI Swimsuit 2011 Cover Odds
One of the great perks that comes with a Sports Illustrated subscription is getting the mid-winter classic known as the SI Swimsuit Issue. Last summer, models were secretly whisked off to tropical locales all over the world and photographed in complete secrecy… Well, at least when Twitter and Facebook didn’t give us sneak peaks of what to expect. Anyway, shrouded in even more secrecy is the identity of the magazine’s cover model. Being the SI Swimsuit cover model is probably the highest honour that can be bestowed on a model. It comes with instant celebrity, international recognition, a blogosphere presence for life and a blown-up copy of your cover in the studio of a certain SI-associated nationally syndicated radio/TV show hosted from Connecticut.
So who are we tipping to be on the cover of the 49th edition of the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue? Find out after the jump. Continue reading
Stan Lee’s NHL Guardians
The NHL hired legendary comic book maestro Stan Lee to help them promote the game among children by developing the NHL Guardians. These are comic book-esque superheroes based created to represent each franchise and their home cities. Each Guardian even came with his own comic book-esque back story. All 30 of the Guardians were unveiled over the last month and here they are. Continue reading
2011 NHL All-Star Game Injury Replacement Mock Draft
It seems that our NHL All-Star Game Mock Draft was cursed before it was even posted. Over the last couple of days, five players have dropped out of the All-Star Game due to injury. Included in the injured players were some of the NHL’s biggest names including Sidney Crosby, Evgeni Malkin and Jarome Iginla. In order to make our duel of the All-Star GMs fair, Jackie and I are drafting the replacement players.
How do our new teams shape up? Find out after the jump. Continue reading
Tracy Morgan Is A Sarah Palin Fan
Tracy Morgan is a funny guy and we can never exactly be sure what’s going to come out of his mouth. The NBA on TNT crew found this out first-hand when they had him on their pregame show Thursday night before a Heat/Knicks game. When asked if Sarah Palin was hot, Morgan had one of the all-time great answers. Continue reading
NHL Power Rankings: Week 17
The NHL All-Star break begins today. We’ve finally reached what is colloquially known as the halfway point of the season. In reality, all teams have played at least 48 games at this point of the season. This doesn’t mean that the playoff picture is much clearer in either conference. For example, fourteen points is the difference between leading the Western Conference and being out of the playoffs. Despite how close the competition is, we have a repeat team atop the Power Rankings. Continue reading
2011 NHL All-Star Game Mock Draft
This year’s NHL All-Star Game has a unique new format that has been talked about quite a bit. This year, two team captains would get a chance to draft their own All-Star teams to play with. Now Jackie and I thought this sounded like a good idea so we decided to do our own All-Star Game mock draft. We’d alternate picks until we both had 21 man rosters like the real thing.
So how did our mock draft play out? Our draft results after the jump. Continue reading
