First they gave us the glorious RedZone Channel on cable, and now they’re going to beam it directly to our cellphones. The Wall Street Journal is reporting that the NFL intends to launch a mobile version of the channel in time for next season, which would be pretty f*cking awesome for everybody. Everybody except for CBS and Fox that is. Quoth CBS’s Sean McManus, “RedZone hasn’t hurt us yet, but we watch it very closely…” And as soon as it becomes too popular we will STOMP ON ITS NECK UNTIL IT STOPS TWITCHING. So yeah, good news for now, but let’s keep it between us. [WSJ]

The celebrity Super Bowl pick is a time-honored tradition, one we at KSK are incredibly excited to be a part of, as we have in the past. For the next two weeks, stars from the world of entertainment, politics, and more will drop by to make their picks for the big game in Miami! Up next, it’s Pro Football Talk’s Mike Florio.

When we last left artful barista Peter King, he was detailing how the Colts define themselves, typing with great sarcasm, and still curious as to why TSA officials won’t do a more thorough cavity search. If bombs can be hidden in underwear, surely they can be hidden in places even more intimate.

So what about this week? Will we get a touching story about Mark Sanchez hugging his dad before the game, even though every player on every team hugs family members before any game if they happen to be in attendance? How did the conference championships affect Red Sox City? Did Peter use a car? And will he drone on and on and on about Brett Favre’s heartache? I think you know the answer to that. Let’s get this over with.

As bad as I feel for this guy, I enjoy every single thing about this video. The passion, the honesty of raw human emotion, the tent…especially the tent.

Some early discursive thoughts on Super Bowl XLIV:

This is the first time since 1993 that two no. 1 seeds will meet in the Super Bowl. It’s also the first time ever that two dome teams meet in the Super Bowl. It’s also the 44th consecutive year historical stats have no bearing on the game.

The Detroit Lions are now the last NFC team to not have made it to the Super Bowl. But they’ve still won as many as the Vikings.

The Saints can’t cover tight ends for sh*t. This might be a problem against Dallas Clark. They also might not be able to count on four turnovers. Conversely, the Colts haven’t played a team with a halfway decent offense since November.

So sayeth Punte and Ufford: “Jim Caldwell is the next Barry Switzer.” So Jim Irsay is sleeping with his wife?

Finally, everyone outside the Land of Sh*t will root against the Colts. Any holdouts will be quickly converted by the Peyton vs. His Dad’s Team storyline. Or once the Fat Humps hit South Beach.

I’ll be in Miami for hype week. So unless another KSKer feels like talking the reins, this means no live blog for the big game. But we still have two weeks of celebrity guest predictions to come. Stay tuned.

BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
