I take my online stock trading advice from a baby, so why not trust my Super Bowl bet to a camel? Princess the Camel has not only been right about five of the past six Super Bowl winners, but she was 14-6 straight up picking NFL games this season. In her best year, 2008, she…

Utah Walmart unclear on which teams are actually in the Super Bowl
Jan 27, 2012, 11:25 AM EST
To be fair, those gold Caffeine Free Diet Pepsi boxes don’t really work with any other team’s color scheme. So when the kid at this Clinton, Utah Walmart began putting together this display, the 49ers were just about to get the ball in overtime, and surely they would go on to beat the New York…

Jan 27, 2012, 9:00 AM EST
I’m not gonna lie — as a longtime 49ers fan, Sunday’s loss still hurts. But what hurts even more is the internet loutishness aimed at Kyle Williams, whose late-game miscues made him the scapegoat in the OT loss to the Giants. Death threats? Really?

Jan 26, 2012, 6:25 PM EST
As far as I can tell, the tradition of the President of the United States inviting championship teams to the White House began in 1924, when Calvin Coolidge welcomed the Washington Senators for a photo op outside on the East Lawn (Grace Coolidge: “We don’t want those people in our home.”)

Those wacky hatemongers at the Westboro Baptist Church made good on their promise to picket Joe Paterno’s memorial service today in Happy Valley, although from what I can determine by this report, their turnout was pretty low. One woman did proudly display her ‘GOD H8S JOEPA’ sign, however, which surprisingly did not end up broken…
