Snark break...

Hopefully, the stupid and ugly doesn't stay in the system all day.

The Hater Nation is jumping the gun a little by trying to figure out which NFL team has got the best shot at going 0-16.

Why hasn't there been anything here on that 82-0 women's hockey game? It's Geek Code -- don't blab on about a sport or a league that you ordinarily ignore. Until 10 days, that was the "U of T Varsity Blues" rule.

Truer words might have never been accidentally spoken about big-time college football: Tim Tebow on the Miami Hurricanes: "They are paid to stop us."

The life of a baseball prospect: Being assigned to the Hawaiian Winter League means Buster Posey will play for five teams in one calendar year. At this point, he doesn't ask where he's going, he just says, "What colour undershirt?"

The Terrier Hockey Fan Blog is calling shenanigans on any inference that Ethan Werek chose the Kingston Frontenacs because the hockey in the USHL is poor quality.

Hate to pull out the easy reference, but Larry Mavety is Lisa Simpson in that episode where the family gets a backyard pool. "He's just using you to help his draft status." ... "Shut up, brain!"

It's best left unexamined what it says about anyone who watches this Tom Brady clip more than 25 times in succession. Please keep it in the low 20s.



(By the way, the male Democratic vice-presidential nominee is more of a feminist than the female Republican one has been. (Charging women for rape kits, really?)

So much for catching the afterglow of Blue Monday

Having to leave before the game is over is a reality in the sports media.

Far be it, then, to say that on Blue Monday, at least one Canadian media outlet was Steve and Eydie playing a concert in upstate New York while Woodstock was happening less than a mile away:

"I was sent a note that Rogers Sportsnet was there early to get some footage, but left before the game ended. Then, they called frantically looking for footage of the end of the game. I watched Sportsnet and TSN this morning and there was no video evidence of the win. Both made mention of it." -- Big Man on Campus

Here's hoping this and this, shot by one of Out of Left Field's contributors, Mike (it's just the one name, like Cher), turns up on Sportsnet Connected's Inbox feature.

One more time, let's see the celebration, after the jump:



It's hard not to love We're Not Worthy Guy salaaming on the midfield logo. He's partying like it was 1992.

Again, and this can't be stressed enough, it's standard for videographers and newspaper photographers to leave early so they can edit and file their images. That being said, it doesn't take a Minnesota Vikings fan, though, to know that 17 points is never enough, no matter how hapless your opponent.

Rob Pettapiece, whose Waterloo Warriors were on the wrong side of OUA football history, had a great reaction to the use of the closing scene in The 40-Year-Old Virgin: "Well, at least Waterloo gets to play the part of Catherine Keener."

If that's the case, then Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin isn't the only hot granny in the news this week!

(That's obviously meant to satirize the viewpoint that anyone's attractiveness, female or male, has anything to do with whether he/she is qualified to a do a job. I apologize for not making this clearer and showing a little more class.)

(rude joke about Posh bending something here)

To prove that I'm not always Mr. Serious -- and because the stupid all-star game makes this a realllly slow news day...

Below the jump, proof that beneath the multi-millions, pop star wife and unfathomable fame David Beckham is really just a dumb bloke like us.

I dare any man who has ever been in a long-term relationship not to empathize with Beckham here.



Wow! I knew there was a reason I came to LA!



Oh yeah...



But honey...I Love You



This is going to be a loooong night
