Random YouTube Magic: 1986 Patriots Super Bowl Video
Published 1/27/2008 by Ryan Wilson at FanHouse
Filed under: Bears, Patriots, Super BowlI suppose it's hard to top the "Super Bowl Shuffle," but it doesn't even look like the Bears' opponent in Super Bowl XX, the New England Patriots, were even trying. I mean, Glam Rock? Really? Kevin Rys, quoted on Can't Stop the Bleeding, nails it: "I don't think I've ever been more embarrassed to be from New England ... Or be a Pats fan. I loved that the only Celtics they could get were Scotty Wedman, Greg Kite, Rick Carlisle, and was that Sam Vincent? The Bob Lobel/Joyce Kulhawik cameos both ...

LXXX years of Super Bowl history

While other Web sites offer "analysis" on a Super Bowl which appears to be a foregone conclusion (excepting the deluded opinions of those in the Manning household, of course), RealFootball365.com presents a little historical perspective and Nostradamus-like prognostication on America's greatest one-day sporting event.

Shocking dialogue: Jason Kidd meets with Rod Thorn
Published 1/29/2008 at Ball Don't Lie
Jason Kidd wants out of New Jersey, and Nets personnel boss Rod Thorn is more than willing to aid in any transaction that eases Kidd out of a Net uniform. The other day, Kidd's agent Jeff Schwartz told Thorn of Kidd's demand to be traded, and yesterday Kidd followed up on the demand in a meeting with Thorn. You might not believe it, but we have the transcript in hand. Jason Kidd: Jeff told you, huh? Rod Thorn: Yes sir. Kidd: Preferably, I'd like to go to the Lakers, Yankees, Mavericks, Heat, or Celtics. Thorn: Yankees? ...

Guest post co-COW: Fasolamatt and Sabathia
Published 2/4/2008 by RandBall at Randball
Chicago apologists Jama and Jon have requested that I comment on the contract status of C.C. Sabathia in the wake of the dealing of Johan Santana. This is relevant in that Sabathia is in the final year of his contract as was Santana, and the Indians face the possibility of losing Sabathia without compensation at the conclusion of 2008 festivities. Here’s the key difference: Cleveland management has clearly stated since this time last year that the Tribe is geared up for a championship run in the 2007-08 window, and Sabathia will be a part of it.  They’ll offer an extension similar to the extension that ...

THE PROPHET'S TUESDAY TAPOUT: URINE SOAKED WINO EDITION
Published 2/5/2008 by The Prophet at EPIC CARNIVAL | SPORTS NEWS WITH A TWIST
by The Prophet, ProphetFighting Welcome to my second Tuesday Tapout from my new digs in the Rose City of Portland, OR. If you're wondering about the title of this edition of the Tapout, it'll probably make more sense to you if you were around for our live UFC 81 round by round over at Prophet Fighting. If you weren't, you can relive my remarks about how winos/bums/homeless dudes or whatever you want to call them are a "protected species" here in Rip City. Unfortunately (or maybe it's *not* unfortunate) I couldn't come up with a graphic to match the title of this edition. So I've posted a picture of Gina ...

Best Video … Ever? Dodgers’ Baseball Boogie
Published 2/26/2008 by TheBigLead at The Big Lead
Stop what you are doing right now and watch this video. It is called the Baseball Boogie, and it features members of the 1986 Los Angeles Dodgers (Mariano Duncan, Rick Honeycutt, Fernando Valenzuela, Pedro Guerrero, etc) singing and dancing. It’s a travesty that this video is unable to be embedded; otherwise, we’re sure this would be larger than the Super Bowl Shuffle. The level of production here, considering it was filmed in 1986, is incredible. From the satin jackets to the douchy dance moves, it is nothing short of fantastic.

Basketball's Best Kept Secret: Revealed.
Published 2/27/2008 by Ufez Jones at SportsFilter
Basketball's Best Kept Secret: Revealed. : While cruising Amazon one day, I found something curious: a 1994 hip-hop album from Immortal Records called Basketball’s Best-Kept Secret featuring the flows of ten of the day’s brightest NBA stars.... In the Pantheon of Hilariously Bad Athlete Rap, it’s the missing link between “ The Super Bowl Shuffle ” and Kobe Bryant’s abysmal “ Thug Poet .” Is there anything musically redeeming about it? Not at all. Is it worth listening to if you’re an NBA fan? Absolutely. Features playable sound clips from such awesome MCs as Dana Barros, Brian Shaw, and Gary Payton. ...

Shaq, Shufflin Crew Highlight Y!'s Top 25 Worst Rappers List
Published 4/18/2008 by Hugging Harold Reynolds at Hugging Harold Reynolds
Like most lists, this one was a little predictable, but I can't say I'd argue with the inclusions. Believe me, I would have busted heads, if my boy $hamrock was on it. Here's what the Music Blog's Rob O'Connor had to say about our Athlete/"Entertainers": 25) Chicago Bears: The Chicago Bears are a professional football team based in Chicago, Illinois. In 1985, before winning the Super Bowl they daringly commemorated their proud achievement with "The Super Bowl Shuffle," a rap tune that made this group of on the field tough guys look like an ineffective glee club. Did they really psych out their opponents ...

The LCG Weekly Reminiscence: Mookie, Ferris and the Super Bowl Shuffle
Published 5/9/2008 by Cecilio's Scribe (noreply@blogger.com) at The Legend of Cecilio Guante
Welcome to the first installment of the LCG Weekly Reminiscence. This feature will be part sports history, part personal memories and part pop culture redux. Today, we take a stroll down memory lane 1986-style. Come back next week for '87. I'd gone to sleep. I wasn't actually asleep, but I'd gone upstairs to my bunk bed in an act of stubborn defiance (at least in my own mind), refusing to give this team one more second of my precious time. I'm not sure what was more pathetic...that I had already given up on my team, consequently leading to my missing one of the more memorable moments in Mets ...

No Way This Goes Wrong
Published 6/18/2008 by Mustafa Redonkulous (noreply@blogger.com) at Deuce of Davenport | Sports News, Commentary, Humor, Videos
Someone in the Chicagoland area must take one for the team and invite Jay Mariotti to Binny's on 1132 S. Jefferson on Friday at 11:30. I'd suggest putting a few in him and enough to down a wildebeest in yourself (if you volunteer) since you're going to spend time with him and possibly witness the greatest beatdown in Chicago history since the '85 Super Bowl. Ozzie Guillen will be guest bartending at Binny's on Friday to celebrate their grand opening. He's always wanted a piece of Mariotti. We'd suggest getting Ozzie to do a couple shots with you to loosen him up. If you play your cards right, you may even get a little ...

Ozzie and Piniella Rap About Their Endorsements

Chicagoans have a long history of crappy athlete raps. Okay, just the one, but it’s a trend setter: Therefore, we shamefully include the following in the Chicago Sports Craptastic Pantheon: a car commercial with rapping managers/former athletes.

NBA Draft Attack: No. 14 Golden State Warriors
Published 6/23/2008 at Ball Don't Lie
Ball Don't Lie continues counting down potential NBA Draft lottery picks. Because I'm far from a college ball expert, I called in the big guns — The Dagger's MJD and Eamonn Brennan, and guitar hero KD — to help break it down. Up next, because we completely forgot them on Friday, Golden State: KD's offseason outlook: The Warriors are lucky in the sense that what could have been a rather unsettled summer will merely be an unsettled summer, as coach Don Nelson has already made it clear that he'll be back in the Bay Area next season, and Baron Davis has also made it apparent that he ...

Vote: Best NFL nickname

Patriots Sign McMahon
Published 7/27/2008 by Ian at SOX & Dawgs
Don’t worry folks, the New England Patriots didn’t sign Jim McMahon to come back for another Super Bowl Shuffle. Instead they have signed free agent lineman Pete McMahon who was just waived by the Jacksonville Jaguars on the 25th. The signing of McMahon brings the Patriots roster to the league maximum of 80 and means John Tomase now has to use one more finger to count. McMahon was a 6th round pick out of Iowa in 2005 by the Oakland Raiders and has never appeared in an NFL regular season game. ...

It’s been a big day for the ‘85 Chicago Bears. First, you have Mike Ditka opening up his new restaurant in Pittsburgh. And now we have the following priceless image of Drunky QB Jim McMahon partying it up on an old man scooter with ladies half his age, courtesy THE SPORTING BLOG: The photo of McMahon rolling on a Rascal was taken at the Mohegan Sun Casino in Connecticut, and, well, there’s really not much else to say.

Prepare to get KO'd, NFL
Published 17 days ago by Hick Flick (noreply@blogger.com) at Rumors and Rants
I hope Timbaland is working on a Super Bowl Shuffle remix, because the Chicago Bears have officially entrusted their offense into the hands of one Kyle Raymond Orton. Now the only thing missing is an offensive line, running back and wide receivers. (Fortunately the Bears should have three solid tight ends). Now all it takes is an injury to Jon Kitna for the Bears to have the most proven quarterback in the NFC North. Looks like wild card spots are going to be tough to come by for teams in the other divisions. But since we love KO so much around here, we can't leave without sending you to links of other ...

CLIP REEL: HAPPY BIRTHDAY, JIM MCMAHON
Published 15 days ago by Ted Bauer at ESPNtheMag.com - MagDaily
Today is Jim McMahon's 49th birthday. Maybe we're suckers, but we find him an interesting guy: he quarterbacked what could be the best football team of all-time, the 1985 Chicago Bears. He had a bunch of iconic ads in the 1980s, and went to BYU yet didn't seem especially wholesome. Let's take a look at him via Clip Reel. This seems like a good starting point.

AN INTERVIEW WITH CLEMSON GRAD WILLIAM 'THE REFRIGERATOR' PERRY
Published 14 days ago by Ted Bauer at ESPNtheMag.com - MagDaily
You probably know William "The Refrigerator" Perry best from his touchdown run in Super Bowl XX or The Super Bowl Shuffle. What few remember is this: Perry was a freshman on the 1981 Clemson Tigers national championship team. With his alma mater a Top 10 team this season—and headlining Saturday Night Football this week (8pm, ABC) against Alabama—we talked with Perry about some of his memories. Bonus: you can read interviews with Alabama fans Jimmy Wales and Winston Groom, also!

We're Not Here to Violate Probation; We're Just Here to Do the Super Bowl Shuffle [Nfl]
Published 13 days ago by Tuffy at Deadspin
#27, second from the left, is Michael Richardson. Richardson played a key role in the 1985-86 Chicago Bears' domination of the league. Now he's going back to jail for violating probation on his 21st drug conviction, bringing a new tint to the term "shutdown corner". How on Earth did L.A. Mike's probation officer find out about the violation? Why, when his known drug-using girlfriend picked him up at the probation office. He was arrested shortly thereafter. Mike Ditka and Richard Dent, among others, have gone to bat for Richardson over the years in court, saving him ...

Top 5 Reasons Why Athletes Should Never Rap. Ever. Or Sing. EVER.
Published 13 days ago at FanIQ Blog
After reading 100%'s blog on the Chinese table tennis team and their subpar musical abilities, I decided to look around a bit more, and see which other athletes have made the same mistake. Well, we can add this year's Utah football team to the list of misguided athletes who think it's cool to rap about their season. For some, like the 1985 Bears, everything ends up going pretty well. But others, like Atlanta's Air Force (AKA the 1986-87 Hawks) and Josh Jarboe, formerly of the OU football team, things just didn't quite go as planned. You Been Blinded provided us with this priceless moment in Utes history, which you ...

The NBA and Hip Hop: Parallel Universes

Stuntin is a habit Get like me When Hater Commissioner David Stern put a limp in the step of NBA players by instituting a constricting dress code, some called it a racist effort to distance the NBA from being associated with hip hop culture. NBA players were done stuntin. Despite Mr. Stern’s interventions, undeniable and eerie links between the NBA and hip hop continue to scream out. It’s jaw-dropping just how similarly the careers of certain rappers and ballers have ...
