First The New York Post And Shane Victorino, Now The Chicago Tribune And Chris Pronger


I am honestly beginning to think that these photoshops have nothing to do with wanting to mock our players, but more so that newspapers across the country have a homoerotic fetish with Philadelphia sports players. First the positive about this photoshop attempt, unlike The New York Post putting Victorino in a Hawaiian skirt and calling the Phillies "the Frillies", this one by The Chicago Tribune actually has a witty line in it ("100% chance we'll change our minds if the Hawks sign him.")

Now onto the negatives, first of all, so this is what has become of print journalism, eh? Oy ve. And secondly, the 2 points to the left of the 100% bullet indicate some pretty damning stats about "Chrissy Pronger," but let's examine them a little more closely. They say Pronger was a -5 for Game 5 and his +/- for the 3 total games in Chicago this series is -4. Just one problem with those seemingly terrible stats. If you do the math, you'll notice The Chicago Tribune has inadvertently pointed out that Chris Pronger was a +1 in the first 2 games in Chicago. D'OH!

LT Will Electrically Glide His Way Past The Jets On Sunday

While I sort of feel like a bad person for putting something like this up right after the post on Dalembert in Haiti, it is too good (or hilariously awful, depending on how you look at it) to pass up.

Just like the Chicago Bears gave the world the Super Bowl Shuffle, will courtesy of Ladainian Tomlinson, I present to you, LT Style Electric Glide!



Advice for LT: You are a professional football player and will go down as one of the best running backs in NFL history. Don't quit your day job. Good grief he went from scoring a touchdown to challenging a call saying it was not a good call to the victory formation. So so random. And yeah, I did not exactly expect this from someone like LT.

Seeing as this shtick worked for the 85 Bears, I guess I really can't blame him for trying, but that was just so hilariously awful that it makes Verne Lundquist wonder, "WHAT IS HE DOING???? MY GOSH!"

Darroll Powe Will Wake Up Tomorrow With $5 Under His Pillow

There are random on screen graphics at times, and then there are random on screen graphics that just blow your mind. Now whether or not this was deliberate or an instance where graphics go bad, I can't say for sure, but The Tooth Fairy decided to pay a little trip to the Flyers game. Thanks to meech.one and The 700 Level on Twitter for getting this screenshot!

So so random and so so bizarre.

Even more unusual is that it looks like the Tooth Fairy's legs have been cut off. That's a downer. And yet, he looks like he is walking on glass. Interesting.
