Eat My Sports: Snubbed

So today the 2011 Pro Bowl selections came out, and while a lot of the usual suspects made it in (Brady, Roethlisberger, the ghost of Peyton Manning), one huge snub remains among the lot, one Matthew Stafford of your Detroit Lions.

With over 4,500 yards and 36 tds, Stafford should definitely be in after helping resurrect the team that The Guys vaulted back into the spotlight two years ago.

True, these Lions are nowhere near the quality of the SeriouslyLions, but hey, ask the 2007 Patriots, nobody’s perfect. Stafford’s play this season has had the Lions at times looking like a team from a video game. They can erase a 35 point deficit in a quarter, and the Stafford-Calvin Johnson combo has proved to be the deadliest in the league, and for him not to make it to Hawaii, shows that the Lions are still not getting their due.

I said at the beginning of the year that the Lions would be hoisting the Lombardi trophy in February, so I guess who needs to be a Pro Bowl qb when you can be a Super Bowl one?

Finally, the bad parenting tables even out

For years, fathers have been warned that if they neglect their daughters as children, then they might as well put them on the pole themselves. But, a new study posits that mothers who don’t form a strong enough bond with their toddlers will turn them into fat teenagers.

But, let’s not get too cocky, dads. This fight isn’t settled until the individual gender studies come out. If the sons of crappy moms also end up marrying older, matronly women, then you can put your “booya” pants on.

It’s like a Family Guy plot made real

It doesn’t matter how bad off a situation you’re in: there are some things that you shouldn’t skimp on at all when it comes to money. These include donuts, toilet paper, ties and elective surgery.

Hand over the pie, too

Most Americans traveled for the Christmas/Chanukah weekend, and we’re all very fortunate nothing bad happened on the airlines because of the brave men and women at the TSA.

A Massachusetts woman flying home from Las Vegas was ordered to hand over a cupcake as she went through the security checkpoint, not because she was smuggling something inside the baked good like a classic jailbreak plot, but because the frosting represented a security threat.

The frosting is a gel, which could be used by terrorists as an explosive, according to our protectors. We at SG applaud them, because they saved the woman from being too fat to fly someday.
