Championship Sunday is finally here and I know I’m excited. I think I might mention that fact in every post today…so be warned…Savor the games today, people, because after the Packers and Giants get done battling this evening it’s going to be 2 weeks before we get to see organized football again…and there’s a slight possibility that the coverage of that game could be a tad bit over the top.

Anyone that had the pleasure of watching UFC 80 last night - wow. Top-to-bottom that was the best collection of fights I’ve ever seen in one event. I’m going to go ahead and say it was the best UFC card in the history of the sport.

Over here? Gemma Atkinson - soccer WAG. I’d give further explanation, but I don’t believe any is required. Update: Here’s the rest of the set that photo goes with. (Warning: Red Balcony - May require alone time)

To get you into the proper state of mind for today’s events how about the Top 10 Championship Sunday moments. (NFL.com)

Finally…some uses “white boy” in a sports highlight - second item down. (NY Post)
New to me - weird family portraits. (list of the day)

Umm…is “Eva Mendes” a good enough description? (Sent along by a reader)

While I was live-blogging the ESPN on ABC crew was documenting the devastation that dropping to 18-1 can have on a fan base. (Awful Announcing)

On a more serious note, I’m not sure if we noted the fact that Hall-of-Famer Steeler great Ernie Holmes died earlier this week in a car crash. (Sports Illustrated)

TBL favorite Jason Witlock disses Chan Gailey and then takes it back. (Can’t Stop The Bleeding)

You might think it’s weird that you can still find Expos gear, I’m just psyched to finally find Marlins bed sheets. (Bugs & Cranks)

I knew Cloverfield was just misunderstood. (Ya Ya Sports World)

The Ravens head coaching Vacancy sign is no longer lit. (Baltimore Sun)

Normally, I would never encourage drinking, but since it’s Championship Sunday…(Drunk Athletes)

We’re taking the holiday off to open presents, over eat, and obviously, drink heavily. We’ll be back in limited action Wednesday, Thursday and Friday.

Just a couple of links in case the parents drive you away from the NBA games and to the computer: print media is always about six months behind on the trend pieces, but if you’ve been reading this site, you’re well aware that ESPN poached newspapers incessantly in 2007. But hey, the Wall Street Journal and New York Times are on top of things!

Also, happy holidays, Scott Skiles! Surely, now that the Bulls coach has been fired, Ben Gordon and Kirk Hinrich will shoot better than 38 percent from the field!

Lastly, this is absolutely hysterical. We were not all that impressed with our score.
