Never in my life have I desired to re-locate to Tucson (no offense). But when I heard that 10-seconds of porn was spliced into Super Bowl footage for viewers using Comcast cable in Tucson, I was jealous.  The brief blip of porn --likely injected into programming by a Tyler Durden-esque renegade looking to spice up the experience of having terribly disappointing ads this year—managed to befuddle the network and cable operators who are still investigating the incident. Although, speaking of advertisements…interesting how horrifying the whole porn thing is for Tucson’s delicate sensibilities when a good portion of the million-dollar ads, seem intentionally by all viewers, featured sexually suggestive material. Danica Patrick in the shower at the request of some adolescent computer nerds…then later in court defending the realness of breasts, all for GoDaddy.com. Then there’s the Doritos ad where the dude bites a chip and it manages to simultaneously tear a woman’s...

Now you can REALLY enjoy the Super Bowl. Because the witty ads, tight pants, halftime performances and copious quantities of bean, meat and cheese product isn't nearly enough to satisfy America's football spirit. Compliments of the Messersmith Family Page (of all things): Watch the Super Bowl on TV. When you see any of the following occurrences, quickly chug your beer. The first person to finish their beer wins the point, and retains the bottle cap (or tab, if drinking from a can) as a point marker. The player with the most points at the end wins the game! Chug Your Beer At: Any mention of suspense being "so thick you could cut it with a knife". Any mention of "wants this one so bad he can taste it". Any mention of the name "Vince Lombardi". First camera angle where it appears lens is practically up a cheerleader's nostril. Airing of any commercial featuring the "Energizer Bunny". First on-camera interview where fan in the...

Hours into another day of practice, Mesa State College senior offensive lineman Trevor Wikre faced a life-changing decision. For some, it would’ve been difficult. For Wikre, the decision to amputate his severely dislocated finger Tuesday was easy. It was easy because it gives him an opportunity to continue playing. Surgery to repair the finger meant he would likely never play another football game. Wikre told the doctor, “ ‘This is my senior year. If I want to go on, I’ve got to play great the rest of the way. These are my last few games, we’ve got to make this work.’ “He’s like, ‘We can’t.’ I said, ‘We can. Cut it off.’ I love football. When you face the fact you’ve played your last game, it hurts. If you love the game and you’re told that, you do whatever you have to do to play again. “This team means the world to me. I love everybody on the team like a brother. I told them all before the Western New Mexico game that I would have no...

Unless Stanford, presently down 21-14 at TCU in the fourth quarter, comes back, the Pac-10 could start this big weekend 0-3 (and Purdue just jumped on Oregon 7-0). Folks at USC should take note of the way Maryland, which lost last weekend at Middle Tennessee State, physically manhandled California. The very idea that USC wins in a walkover today against Ohio State just seems so... wrong... to me. Consider: In week two, Maryland gets whipped by a mid-major. Ohio State barely handles a mid-major. California looks dominant on its way to 2-0 and a national ranking. USC looks dominant at Virginia on its way to a No. 1 ranking. In week three, Cal, a heavy favorite, lays an egg to a Maryland team that was a laughingstock from the laughingstock ACC. Whither USC against the most maligned elite program from the maligned Big Ten? Here's a big difference, though: USC is playing at home. And, of course, USC is still USC. As for Cal, we probably can close the book on RB...
