I’ve never seen “The Book” but I’m pretty damn sure it says you should punt if up six with two minutes to go in the game and facing a fourth and two from your own 29. Bill Belichick said F the book Sunday night in Indianapolis. The Colts were marching down the field with ease in the fourth but giving Peyton Manning the ball at the 30-yard line is one of the worst coaching decisions you’ll see all year. If somebody like Jim Zorn had made the call people would’ve taken to the streets with pitchforks by now. Read the full story

Take-Two, the company that produces Grand Theft Auto, has turned down a $2 billion dollar takeover bid from Electronic Arts. This doesn’t mean the deal is dead. In fact, it could take place April 30th, the day after GTA IV is released.. The two companies have differing opinions on the bid; Take-Two thinks it’s too low, and of course EA thinks it’s more than fair.

I don’t care what the two sides have to do, but this deal must get done. The combination of Take-Two Interactive Software Inc. and Electronic Arts Inc. could lead to the greatest video game in the history of video games.. Grand Theft Auto: John Madden. Read the full story

If O.J. is gonna get ten friends together, it would have to include a whacked out bunch like this video. The Juice, Pete Rose, Michael Vick, Tanya Harding, Bill Belichick, Mike Tyson, Jose Canseco, Ricky Williams, Tim Donaghy, Pacman Jones, and Rae Carruth make up “O.J.’s Eleven.. Gotta love Belichick with the camera… I have one question though.. Where the hell is Al Cowlings? Not just in the video, in real life. He shook O.J. like Barry Sanders did Rod Woodson.

Props to R. Wilson at Fanhouse for the video… The Patriots have the espionage game on lock, and they’ve apparently already developed a new way to steal signs. Either that or right now New England is 5x better than San Diego.
