There might not be a bigger story in the NFL this season than Tim Tebow. Since taking over as the starting quarterback of a 1-4 Denver Broncos team, Tebow has led Denver to five wins in its last six games and put the team in the middle of the playoff hunt.

But that’s only part of the reason why Tebow is the talk of the NFL. Tebow is such a polarizing figure that just about any casual fan has got to be intrigued by him. Fans seem to either love him or hate him and just about everyone has a strong opinion on him.

I find myself fascinated to see how each Broncos game turns out (and its only partially because he’s on my fantasy team). Prior to Tebow starting, the Broncos were one of the more boring teams of the year. Now the Broncos are near the top of the list of games I want to see each week.

So what exactly makes this guy so fascinating? (more…)

I’m trying out a new feature today. It’s called Hot or Not?

The premise is simple. I’ll take a celebrity that is often on the fence when it comes to her perceived hotness and then debate whether she is truly hot or not. The celebrity woman in question would typically fall in the 5-6 range on the LWB Hotness Scale, which is on the borderline between being hot and not being hot.

Typically the woman we are discussing will have some features that men will find attractive, while having others that are not. The perfect example of this debate came in a 2010 episode of The Office, in which Dunder Mifflin-Scranton debated the hotness of Hillary Swank. Today, I build on a feature so brilliantly portrayed in that episode, with my own version of it.

Today’s Hot or Not debate features Jillian Michaels.

As a celebrity fitness guru, Jillian Michaels is best known for her role on The Biggest Loser and her bestselling workout videos.

All men want a woman with a great body and Jillian is certainly in fantastic shape. But when it comes to women, there is fine line between being in shape and being too muscular. Jillian is hovering dangerously on that border. (more…)

ENJOY? Yes, I think she will. Look at how she strokes this phallic-shaped wine opener.

It definitely is the ideal gift for that lonely woman on your Christmas list.

Every year, in the world of fantasy football, there are a few guys that just don’t live up to expectations. No matter how good your team is, you’ll always have one guy on your team that you hate. Every so often, there will be a guy SO BAD that you swear you’ll never draft him ever again. NO MATTER WHAT. You hate him for destroying your dream of fantasy football glory and you’ll never forgive him.

The 2011 season is no different. Below you will find a list of players who are currently the most hated men in fantasy football.

I prepared a similar list in 2009, but many of those players have become largely irrelevant. Predictably their shitty play in the fantasy world correlated with their shitty play in real life and now most of them are out of football. Before I get to the current list, let’s recap where the players from my 2009 list stand now. (more…)
