OL Zack Martin is shaping up to be one of the most interesting NFL Draft prospects to come out of Notre Dame in a couple years. Because of the the position he plays, and the lack of glory and void of media coverage that comes with it, we haven’t heard the name Zack Martin very much.
But between now and may 8th (the NFL Draft is moved back a couple weeks this year), we certainly will.
The Seattle Seahawks were able to smash Peyton Manning and the Denver Broncos in Super Bowl XLVIII. The best in offense of the league, the Broncos, was able to score just eight points against the best defense of the league, the Seahawks. At the same time, Seattle scored 43 points, leaving no question about which is the best team in overall this season in the NFL. The big question now in the NFL world is who can beat the Seahawks next season.
Seattle definitely looks powerful heading to the 2014 season. What the Seahawks achieved made fans from around the league really wonder if there will be an opponent able to take them down in the 2014 season. If the Denver Broncos, the best offensive team in the league which possesses the 2013 AP MVP, Peyton Manning was beaten that easily by Seattle, then which team could really stand up firm against the defending champions?
If you never heard of Blake Bortles until a month ago, you wouldn’t be alone. In the summer, a lot of people were exposed to his girlfriend Lindsey Duke, thanks to an eye-popping photo shoot at the University of Central Florida. More people have still heard of Lindsey Duke than Blake Bortles, although watching UCF rise to a BCS bowl win has elevated the profile of Bortles, and with NFL scouts are now placing very high value in the draft stock of Blake Bortles.
But #1 overall level?
Manchester United icon David Beckham is a trending topic on the internet today. And it doesn’t have anything to do with the recent documentary about him, Class of 92, or the rigorous vote of confidence he gave embattled United Manager David Moyes back in November. No, this about Becks being the international sex symbols that he is, and that sexuality rubbing some people the wrong way.
(feel free to insert your own joke here about David Beckham very recently admitting that he was forced to masturbate in front of his United youth mates in a hazing ritual here)
Congratulations to the Seattle Seahawks and Malcolm Smith. The game was incredibly boring and the commercials very lackluster. But at least we have this:
Smith’s postgame Super Bowl conference was briefly interrupted by a random 9/11 truther, who grabbed the microphone and told everyone to investigate the attacks on September 11th, saying they were “perpetrated by people within our own government.”
No, it wasn’t Rashard Mendenhall.

Behold the Seattle Seahawks’ “12th Man Room of Silence”.
In this exclusive video, FOX Sports 1 invited members from a Seattle Youth Football League to watch the NFC Championship between their hometown Seahawks and the San Francisco 49ers and proposed a challenge: If they could stay completely silent for the entire game — no talking, no cheering — they could win a cash prize for new equipment and improvements to their facilities.
Legendary former Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Terry Bradshaw is now a beloved Fox Sports analyst. Bradshaw won some Super Bowls, so this day is usually very sweet for him. Sadly, this Super Bowl will be devastating for Terry Bradshaw.
His workmates at Fox Sports released this following statement on the death William “Bill” Marvin Bradshaw, father of Terry Bradshaw. It also explains who will take Terry Bradshaw’s place on assignment today, and how the domino effect of other Fox Sports personalities being shifted to other assignments today as Fox broadcasts Super Bowl XLVII, the biggest day of the NFL season.
Now we bring you the high brow of Super Bowl XLVIII publicity stunts. This is a classier type of Super Bowl XLVIII.
Indeed, how riveting indeed.
Seattle Art Museum (SAM) and Denver Art Museum (DAM) are betting temporary loans of major works of art based on Super Bowl XLVIII between the Seattle Seahawks and Denver Broncos. And yes, this Super Bowl XLVIII bet is not your typical civic cuisine bet often made between mayors.
Kate Upton has already had one Super Bowl XLVIII video go viral this week (when she did her Victor Cruz style Salsa dance in the end zone of Met Life Stadium) Here are some more Kate Upton vids that web surfers will surely enjoy.

The build-up to Super Bowl XLVIII has taught us that now, more than ever, the bye week in between the Conference Championships and the Super Bowl MUST BE ELIMINATED AT ALL COSTS. It is beyond pointless. Super Bowl XLVIII Media Day was worse than the other years because you had more attention-whores dressed up like idiots in dumb outfits asking stupid irrelevant questions than ever before.
Nothing ever happens on SB Media Day, but this year, it was even more nothing. It’s the biggest waste of time/sports news day of the year next to college football national signing day. Funny how both of them are so close to one another.
Anyways, let me sum up our Super Bowl XLVII coverage to this point, and what we have going on from now until kickoff.
We are hours away from the biggest game during the NFL season. Many will watch the Super Bowl between the Denver Broncos and Seattle Seahawks for one of many narratives. A good chunk will watch for the Super Bowl prop bets.
Include me as one of them.
The Super Bowl is one of the most betted-on sporting events in all of sports, and now is the time to act. The weekend of the big game (Friday-Sunday) is when the majority of gambling happens for the Super Bowl. There are some prop bets to put your bankroll on, and others to scroll past.
Bovada has over 300 Super Bowl prop bets to potentially wager money on. Here are 10 to work with and/or pass on. [Read more...]
It’s the Super Bowl.
Emphasis on the word “bowl.” Pack another bowl broham! Hey dude, don’t bogart my stash man. Are you a narc? Peyton Manning is going to harsh my mellow by throwing for 420 yards passing. With Denver and Seattle playing in Super Bowl 48, Budweiser’s 1990 notorious ad campaign, the “Bud Bowl,” has taken on a new meaning – the clash of the stoner cities.
