Suh to the Packers?

Sure, Packers fans aren't soon to forget this image.



But with Ndamukong Suh becoming a free agent, would you want him wearing green and gold?

It makes sense from a football standpoint, according to former NFL linebacker and current NFL Network analyst LaVar Arrington.

"A lot of times, players that leave their team feel disrespected and that they weren't treated correctly, and they tend to stay in the division. I'm looking at Green Bay," Arrington said. "I think that would be a great fit.

"They're going to get B.J. Raji back, so now you're looking at B.J. Raji and Ndamukong Suh, and then you got those guys on the outside -- more specifically, you have Julius Peppers, you got Clay Matthews 

"You shore up the center of that defensive front, and that might have been one of the pieces that they were truly missing on that team this past season."

Sure, that part is easy to get on board with, but could Packers fans, some of the most fiercely loyal in all of sports, get on board with the idea?

I think at some level, talent wins out. And Suh is one of the most talented in the game.

I'd welcome him to Lambeau with open arms.

Powerball

I get guilt tripped into playing the lottery every so often. People at work chip in to buy tickets, and we then celebrate our $4 winnings with great vigor. I have no idea if this is illegal or not.

Either way, there's apparently a mathematical way to guarantee that you'll win the Powerball jackpot tonight, as it's valued at over $500 million.

It'll take a little bit (ok, A TON) of work, as well as a pretty hefty investment.



Per Cleveland dot com:

There are 175.2 million combinations so, at $2 a play, you'll need to get to an ATM or your mattress and withdraw a little over $350 million to cover all possible draws.

There's not enough time for you to place all the bets yourself. This is true even if you prepared all 35.04 million betting slips (five bets per slip) ahead of time in anticipation of such a big jackpot. In Ohio, bets are cut off at 10 p.m. That leaves just 71 hours between the 10:59 p.m. Wednesday drawing and the deadline for buying tickets for the Saturday drawing.

So you need $350 million and 2,000 of your closest friends. Easy!

$0.58

Macklemore would be proud.

And every Packers fan is at least a little jealous.




That's Vince Lombardi wearing a West Point sweater. A North Carolina couple stumbled upon the garment at a thrift store, and purchased it for $0.58.

Fifty eight cents.

According to CBS sports, the couple could fetch quite the return on their investment

Heritage Auctions in Dallas confirmed the sweater was in fact owned by Lombardi and put a hefty price tag on it.

"They examined the types of fabric that are used on the sweater the different types of stitching," Heritage consignment director Chris Nerat said. "I think that it could easily hit the $20,000 range."

RED VELVET

I had been on the search for Red Velvet Oreos all week, and finally today, success.

THAT'S RIGHT. A HOMEMADE PHOTO TO PROVE THAT I ACTUALLY BOUGHT THEM.

Two packages, to be exact. And I'm glad I did. Because they're delicious. I was informed yesterday that "red velvet" is just chocolate with red food coloring, BUT WHO ARE YOU TO RAIN ON MY PARADE? The real kicker here? The cream cheese frosting.



Pick some up today at your local retailer...if you can find them.

Plane Pics

Asia is crazy. Let's just start there.

But if you saw this in real time, what would you do?



The details of the crash are both crazy and sad. Via BBC News:

A plane carrying mostly Chinese tourists has crashed into a river in Taiwan, killing at least 31 people.

Dramatic video footage emerged showing the TransAsia Airways plane clipping a bridge as it came down shortly after take-off from a Taipei airport.

The plane, carrying 58 people, broke up as it plunged into Taipei's Keelung River. The fuselage was later salvaged by crane.

There were 15 survivors pulled from the wreckage but 12 people remain missing.

John Sudworth reports: "This is no longer a rescue mission, but a recovery operation"

GRONKY PUNCH

Gronk is the best. He's refreshingly honest. His take on the brawl toward the end of the game is the fantastic.

"Roger...that wasn't me."

"Screw it. Last game of the year, I'm throwing some haymakers."

SB Commercials

This was my favorite commercial of the Super Bowl, only because of the polar bear in the sombrero.
