Ron Burgundy Announces Anchorman Sequel

Here's kind of a cool little thing. Last night on Conan O'Brien's show Ron Burgundy came out playing a flute. He had some fun things to say about Conan and his looks before he made a huge announcement. There will be a sequel to the amazing Anchorman movie. Definitely one of my favorite movies of all time, so I'm happy to hear this news. Hopefully the original cast will be in this one as well. Steve Carrell and Paul Rudd were especially funny in the first, so I'd love to see them again. Should be something very fun to look forward to!

Gophers to the NIT Championship

Of course I go to the U of M and I enjoy watching a little Gophers basketball. So the last couple weeks have been pretty fun, as the Gophers have actually looked like a whole new team. They have made it to the NIT Championship game which is pretty sweet. I didn't think we'd make the actual tourney, so for us to make it to the championship here is pretty fricken' sweet. The Gophers will play against Stanford Thursday night at Madison Square Garden.
And head coach Tubby Smith had to be proud of the guys on his team for pulling it together here at the end of the season. "I'm just so proud of their perseverance, and their ability to overcome so many distractions," Smith said. "Just amazing... It's one of the hardest-working groups of kids I've ever worked with."

Tim Tebow EXCITED to be a New York Jet

This is just too funny. I love Tim Tebow, but you gotta poke fun at him every once in a while. He is so cheesy when he does press conferences. Here he tells the media how excited he is. He doesn't just tell them once... or twice... or thrice. He tells them that he is excited 45 TIMES! Good work Teebs, good luck in New York.

Short Film of the Week: Ruin

This is kind of a cool film I found. Definitely one of my favorites so far. It takes place in a post-apocalyptic world, evidently run by aliens. It's eight minutes of action-packed fun, so I hope you enjoy!

Bill Parcells - Next Coach in New Orleans?

Bill Parcells could be exactly what Sean Payton needs right now. While Payton will miss the entire season with his recent suspension, he need someone to fill in for the head coaching position in New Orleans. He reached out to his mentor Bill Parcells this week, which could be huge for the Saints. Parcells could keep the Saints alive this season, while not threatening Sean Payton's job. Or so some people think....
I think Parcells is a great coach. That's why I think this would be a bad decision for him. He doesn't wanna take a job for one year unless he really thinks this could be a year to take a team to the Super Bowl. The Saints are a great team, but I just don't think they can make it with Parcells as the coach. Sean Payton has built an amazing offensive system, and I don't think Parcells can come in and take over there. That's just my opinion on the matter, we'll have to see how this ends up...

Tebow News Conference as a Jet

Tebow was officially welcomed to New York today as a member of the Jets. I just loved seeing bits of this press conference (as I was in class and couldn't watch the whole thing). He's such a classy guy and a fun player to watch. I liked a lot of responses he had to the questions he was asked. He avoided going into his faith, as he said the conference was about the Jets. He also said he is not a wildcat package player in the NFL. Both kinda cool answers. Plus he just had the cheesiest smile the whole time, which is classic Tim Tebow. Best of luck to the Jets and Tebow this year. Here's a kinda catchy tune I found while browsing YouTube today. Hope you enjoy!

Matt Forte Is Gonna Leave Chicago

The Bears signed running back Michael Bush today to backup Matt Forte. Bush signed a deal worth $14 million over 4 years. This is about equal to the contract that Forte has right now under his franchise tag. Here's what Forte had to say about it over Twitter:

There's only so many times a man that has done everything he's been asked to do can be disrespected! Guess the GOOD GUYS do finish last....

Matt Forte ‏ @MattForte22

for the record I'm not mad at the signing of another running back. This is 4th time that's happened. I embrace competition as well as help

Matt Forte ‏ @MattForte22

But as for not taking care of ur own and undervaluing a player under his market value is another story! #twitterrant

Just Keeping it real...hate it or love it

Forte has every right to be mad about this situation. He has easily been the biggest offensive weapon on the Bears for the past 4 or 5 years. He has proven that he is one of the most, if not the most, talented running backs in the league. Last year he made the Pro-Bowl. And what does he get for it?? He gets paid the same as a below average running back. I think Forte is definitely gonna want out of Chicago. They are just straight up disrespecting him, and I think he needs to find a better team. He could really be the missing piece for a lot of teams. But like he said, he's a nice guy. I just hope he isn't too nice to actually get what he deserves. Good luck to Matt Forte in finding what you need man!
