Football Sausage: Pigskin… Literally

How long do you think the ball would last if it was really made of sausage? Those defensive linemen would be all-over that shit like white on rice. Om nom nom. Football Sausage is a great little football-watching snack. You never get between a man and his meat. Link [via]

And the Madden Curse Continues…

If you’re not familiar with the Madden curse, it is the bizarre coincidence that every player to land the cover spot of a Madden video game has faced an injury or other major set-back which effected their playing ability during the season they are featured. Eerily enough, this coincidence has maintained consistency since 1999, when players began to be featured on the cover of Madden games. This year, the curse continues, as Steelers’ safety Troy Polamalu was injured in the... Continue reading

World Cup Figurines Become USB Drives Post-Decapitation

I can hardly pretend to love soccer with the same devotion as some of you. Here’s how you know someone doesn’t love soccer as much as you. Number one, they don’t drink tea at a certain time every day. Two, they drive on the right side of the road. Three, they say mile instead of kilometer. But if you are one of those soccer-frenzied hooligans and don’t mind a little decapitation to go with your data storage, these World Cup... Continue reading

LED Football 2

If you’re old enough, you’ll remember the days of LED football. Cut the shit, pops. You know exactly what game I’m talking about. Move the lights, run the ball, score the TDs. The problem is, those old units are either long gone, broken or being sold on eBay in mint condition. Why bother with that hassle? You clearly need LED Football 2 for the iPhone. It’ll cost you just one buck to download it from the App Store and it... Continue reading

Breaking: Madden ’09 Bigger Than Christ

This just in, we’re getting reports that with the release of Madden ’09, Jesus Christ is no longer needed. Teens across the country who once believed that Jesus was the next messiah have been lining up outside Gamestops across the country at midnight and proclaiming that the game is “off the fucking chain, yo.” “I ain’t got no time for God an’ shit” says Anthony Dominguez, 22. “I’m tryin’ to, ya know, buy this motherfucker for the 360 then play...

Robot Footballers Are Too Fragile For The NFL, But They’d Need To Catch Them First

Apparently robots partaking in athletics is becoming a recognized venue. I’m not talking about Battle Bots, although I’ve heard that the show is planned to make a comeback. I’m talking about straight-up American football (ironically taking place in Japan.) The video above shows two teams consisting of pure robotics, battling it out on a mini-Football field. Now, these bots aren’t quite up to snuff with say, the NFL. Not yet at least. It’s more along the lines of Foosball. Their... Continue reading
