What an insane weekend of football and baseball. I’ve never seen a college Saturday like yesterday’s. Unbelievable.

I’m 97% certain this video is fake. Keep your eye on the two guys in the background. The videographer has them too perfectly framed into the shot for him to not purposely be focusing on them, but it’s funny nonetheless.

There really is nothing quite like a good mascot fight, especially one with police intervention.

Good find: TheBigLead.

EyeBlack has to have the most brilliant corporate team I have ever seen in my life.

First of all, they sell a product that is essentially black tape you put under your eyes, which supposedly catches the sun to keep the sun out of your eyes. Hah! Come on now. If you believe this, you probably also believed that Rick Ankiel naturally came back to the big leagues with no supplemental help.

Second of all, according to CNBC, this company is now contemplating deals with the NFL to sell advertising space on the black strips on players’ faces. They’re already making them with college and high school team logos, which I’m down with, but now we’re going to see Taco Bell’s new cheesy burrito on faces?

I have to draw the line here. This is a bad idea for the sports, and an even worse idea for corporate sponsors. Picture this:

You’re watching the Tennessee Titans play the Cleveland Browns on a Sunday afternoon. The players come out, and on this day we’re blessed with little slices of pepperoni pizza under all the players’ eyes, sponsored by Pizza Hut. Halfway through the third quarter, someone looks at Albert Haynesworth wrong, and Albie proceeds to stomp on the guy’s face repeatedly for 8 seconds. The guy is heading off the field with the support of teammates, with his eyeball has exploded all over his face, making the pizza slice look like fresh ground beef.

Never…eating…Pizza Hut…again.

Today’s morning wood comes to you from NC State.

My friend Chris sent me this picture this morning, and said he was transferring to NC State for his last few credits. Daddy likey.

So, something in baseball has caught my attention, and all it took was a collapse in New York for it to happen. I’m not going to get my hopes up, because every season there is a new team that absolutely falls apart in the last two weeks, but manages to come back and get at least one necessary win in the last game of the season to enter the post-season.

These will be an interesting next three games for the NL East. Both the Mets and the Phillies are tied and playing two terrible opponents (Marlins and Nationals, respectively).

Normally, I would say that I’d trade my next 3 years of Christmas for a collapse such as the Mets to conclude, but it’s not really worth it to me that the Phillies get their spot. I hate the Mets more, but I really don’t care all that much.

My gut tells me the Mets will do it for two reasons.

1. As previously mentioned, this happens every year, and the team about the collapse tends to come back.

2. The Phils always seem to be in a similar predicament as they are now in, count their vaginas before they’re wet, and find a way to blow it early.

Remember that guy, who ummmm, sent me a letter a few weeks ago, hating on Brett Favre for coming back to the Packers this season with the sole intentions of breaking Dan Marino’s records? What an idiot!

Mark my words down right now, Brett Favre will never win another Super Bowl unless he goes back to the orthodontist and gets his adult braces put back on. Honestly, how is Brett Favre 3-0 right now, on the verge of going 4-0 with a cake game against Minnesota? Some things just don’t have explanations.
