How about that Broncos/Steelers game! Damn close 'til those last 2 minutes.

Lol! Funny as hell but absolutely true. At the bar wit a few Steelers fans. I say Ben is going to throw a pick - it's what happens in the last 2 minutes with him under pressure. First play...nothing. Second down...I say, 'Here comes the pick.'. Denver grabs it and wins the game. They're all giving me the hairy eyeball at first and then relax into laughter. 'What are you psychic?' Me...'Well I haven't won the lottery so no. Just going on Big Ben's past performances.'

Still the officiating has been pretty brutal around the league today. Just goes to show how much people get pissed off with the "pros" it shows there is a very distinct difference. Hope the Seahawks enjoyed their 4th timeout. Regardless it was a surprising day all around. Should make for an interesting season.

Was at the Lions game today. Despite Stafford's 3 interceptions, being a close game, and only winning it with less than a minute left... it didn't feel like any fans in the stadium had any doubt.

Next week against the 49ers is going to be a great game.

Seriously, who the hell is Floyd Mayweather.. no actually, what did he ever win? Last time I checked zeh Klitschko's hold all titles.

Mayweather's not a heavyweight - he'll never go up against the Klitschko brothers, as they're much, much larger than he is. He fights primarily at welterweight, although he's held titles in a handful of the middle tier of weight classes.

Up until his recent wins in the past few years, he was known for choking, whenever a win was almost in hand..

7. Phil Mickelson ($47.8M)

Read the other day that "reportedly" Mickelson is not well liked among his fellow golfers. Supposedly given the nick name of "FIG-JAM" -- Fuck, I'm Great. Just Ask Me.

I have no idea if that has any basis in fact, but it was amusing.

The fuck is going on with the officiating in the Packers game? The fuck?!

If you take strict salaries, the latest Forbes Magazine list of the world's top 100 highest-paid athletes would contain more than 30 NFL names. But what makes this list interesting is that Forbes includes endorsement money, placing athletes with more international appeal higher.

The top 10 includes: 1. Floyd Mayweather ($85M), 2. Manny Pacquiao ($62M), 3. Tiger Woods ($59.4M), 4. LeBron James ($53M), 5. Roger Federer ($52.7M), 6. Kobe Bryant ($52.3M), 7. Phil Mickelson ($47.8M), 8. David Beckham ($46M), 9. Cristiano Ronaldo ($42.5M), 10. Peyton Manning ($42.4M).
