The new craze seems to be naming food after athletes and coaches for having bad things happen for their careers. First, a Philadelphia restaurant immortalized Chip Kelly with a sandwich for getting fired. Now, Bengals LB and playoff killer Vontaze Burflict has been honored with a burger of his own. Only difference is, it’s a tongue in cheek […]

When athletes or sports figures have food named after them, it’s almost always due to an achievement in the sporting world. Making the majors, winning a championship, etc. Rarely does one have a sandwich named after him for losing his job. (Although that would be a great way to pick up the spirits of the […]

You know you wanted it. You know you couldn’t live without it. And now it’s here. A blow by blow of Tom Brady’s diet, which we know doesn’t contain Frosted Flakes. This comes courtesy of Brady’s personal chef: Allen Campbell. Campbell was interviewed by Boston.com, because there are millions of people who want to eat […]

Many years ago, somebody accidentally dipped a chocolate bar in peanut butter and a sweet sensation was born. Ever since, dessert enthusiasts have been trying to discover the next great combination, whether it be on purpose or by accident. I don’t think cake and kale is the next great combination, but since it has been […]

Jaromir Jagr is a marvel. The sure fire NHL Hall of Famer just scored career goal number 731, tying him with Marcel Dionne on the all time goal scoring list. He’s 43 years old and is showing no signs of dipping below the level of the best 600 hockey players in the world. So naturally, […]

The answer, as always, is yes. But if you do decide to enjoy meaty goodness in a wedding dress, as this young Minnesota Wild fan has done, always make sure you hold that bite over your cardboard container. Or bring a plastic bib. Because if you’re thinking about resale, or passing that dress down to […]

It has been a tough season for the South Carolina Gamecocks. Steve Spurrier retired in the middle of the season, the team is languishing at 3-7, and what makes it more painful is that at this moment, the number one team in the country is their hated rival: the Clemson Tigers. 2015 doesn’t look like […]

There was a big controversy in the world of sports that I totally made up, as Jerry Rice donned a Cowboys jersey for a McDonald’s ad. It was an affront to every sense. Well as it turns out, I might have buried the lead. You see, the other iconic NFL figure in these Game Time […]

Since we could all use a little positive news right now, I give you Marshawn Lynch … vilified in some circles as a rabble rouser because of his complicated relationship with the media. But the Seahawks RB knows how to brighten a young man’s day. In return for a simple compliment, Lynch gave $500 to […]

There’s a certain joy in eating. Savoring every bite. Enjoying the subtle flavors of a dish. Letting each taste hang on your tongue until the very last moment. This is why what Kelly Olynyk tried to do on a team flight offends me. In the tradition of the cinnamon challenge, the Peeps challenge, and the […]

Tom Brady went through the appeals process for deflate-gate, and was exonerated of his crimes of being “generally aware” of lower PSI levels in footballs. But that means nothing to a 7-Eleven in Aurora, CO. They make their feelings clear on their receipts: I guess Brady isn’t getting free loaded Doritos in Aurora anytime soon. […]

Have you ever had trouble deciding on what beer to drink? Well lucky for you, Brett Favre is here to make your decision harder. Because why should he be the only one who has trouble making decisions? Badger State Brewery is producing a special Brett Favre tribute beer for sale this month in Wisconsin called “4ward […]

For an ad for McDonald’s, that’s why. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uTAug-Ifbpo It’s McDonald’s “Game Time Gold” promotion, where you peel off game pieces, some of which have NFL helmets. I guess if you get one of these then you forfeit all of your loyalties and history to attempt to win a free Shamrock Shake or something. For all […]

Last night’s Game 1 of the 2015 World Series had it all. A leadoff inside the park home run, a television power outage, a game tying ninth inning home run, and a walk off victory in the fourteenth inning. Lost in all that was a stolen base in the sixth inning by Lorenzo Cain: Your […]

Jose Bautista’s home run in Game 5 of the ALDS yesterday will go down in baseball lore … in large part for the timing and the importance. But also just as much for the bat flip of all bat flips. Of all things, an ice cream shop in Canada has immortalized the bat flip into chalk […]
