Enjoy!<\/p>\n
We expected pure wackiness following the Super Bowl \u2013 in New Orleans. We\u2019re seeing some bizarre stuff happening in Louisiana but elsewhere too. Here\u2019s the lowdown for a kooky time in the NFL plus other news around the sports world.<\/p>\n
NFL news: Saints fandom goes too far; Vick admits to mailing it in as a Falcon; Vikings fans beg Favre to return<\/strong><\/p>\n We know the Saints have a dedicated fan base, but one Louisiana school principal went way…too…far last week. He let students at his high school wear Saints colors to school for a day instead of their usual uniforms. But when one student showed up in an Indianapolis Colts Joseph Addai jersey, Mr. Principal lost it. He told the kid, \u201cIf you like Indiana so much, why don\u2019t you go back?\u201d and booted him from the school for the day. The principal later realized his insanity and apologized but, boy, if this isn\u2019t a sign of the impending apocalypse, nothing is.<\/p>\n If you thought Mike Vick\u2019s reputation had nothing left to lose in Atlanta, you thought wrong. Vick recently admitted to an Atlanta radio station that he didn\u2019t give 100 per cent while with the team, didn\u2019t spend enough time in the film room and that he \u201cwas complacent at the time, somewhat lazy, I settled for mediocrity.\u201d Now even dog haters will turn on him. NBA news: Nets lose…in front of 1,016 fans<\/strong><\/p>\n A New Jersey Nets loss is not news. After 48 defeats in 52 games, a win qualifies as a major newsbreak. But, last night, the Nets did their thang in front of 1,016 fans. That\u2019s a \u201cwatch a shootaround\u201d crowd. That\u2019s a Montreal Expos crowd. Not even the Cleveland Browns could get an attendance that low when they\u00a0wanted <\/em>to boycott a game.<\/p>\n All-Star injury update: We know the West doesn\u2019t look good to have Kobe in the lineup for the All-Star game; now the East may lose Derrick Rose. The Bulls guard got knocked down by Dwight Howard and bruised his hip last night. X-Rays showed no structural damage but his MRI results will ultimately determine his status for Sunday.<\/p>\n NHL news: Canada, Sweden eye Olympic injury replacements<\/strong><\/p>\n For anyone placing bets on Olympic hockey, keep an eye on Canada and Sweden\u2019s roster. The Canadians may lose Ryan Getzlaf to a sprained ankle. Jeff Carter is pegged as his replacement. While Carter brings speed and better shooting ability, Getzlaf is a better passer and protector of the puck, so the trade-off weakens Canada slightly up the middle. Sweden could have an X-factor in Johan Franzen. \u201cThe Mule\u201d has been told to give the team regular updates on his healing ACL; he returned to the Detroit Red Wings earlier this week. If he plays, he\u2019ll give Sweden a force in front of the net on the power play.<\/p>\n <\/strong> Sports water cooler headlines and sports gossip for Thursday February 11th, 2010.

\nGood for Minnesota Vikings fans. Realizing that Brad Childress doesn\u2019t have a face that attracts humans, they took Brett Favre re-recruitment into their own hands. They took out a digital billboard ad near Favre\u2019s home in Hattiesburg, Mississippi reading: \u201cHey No. 4, do Minnesota fans love you and want you back next year? You Brettcha!\u201d No word on whether or not Eagle fans have done the same for Donovan McNabb. I\u2019m not holding my breath.<\/p>\nSPORTSBOOK.COM PROMOS \u2013 JOIN and GET up to $100 FREE \u2013 10% New Member Bonus on your first deposit. $20 Mobile Free Play \u2013 Stay on the go and in the dough with Sportsbook.com Mobile.
