Scenes From the Pro Bowl

Matt Stafford and J.J. Watt took home MVP honors as Team Irvin defeated Team Carter 32-28 in a Pro Bowl game you definitely could've missed. Brent Grimes made the play of the game with this back-to-the-ball interception while Jordy Nelson and Clay Matthews celebrated a Nelson TD despite being on opposing teams. In other news, J.J. Watt met some cheerleaders, Richard Sherman and Patrick Peterson hugged it out, Andy Dalton was booed off the field and Chris Berman was miserable.

Royal Rumble Disaster

Vince McMahon's prediction that 2015 will be the best year for WWE got off to a disastrous start with last night's Royal Rumble in Philly. Fans hoping for a Daniel Bryan victory instead saw Roman Reigns take the honors and this did not go over well. Upset fans reportedly blocked wrestlers' cars so they couldn't leave the arena and a #CancelWWENetwork hashtag trended after the event. In fact, the WWE Network cancellation page crashed because so many angry fans bombarded the site.

Remembering Sean Taylor

A reader named Fernando wrote in and said, "With the Pro Bowl passing by and having to sit through 3 ½ quarters of what the NFL is trying to pass off as football, can we give some love to Sean Taylor and his hit on Brian Moorman in the ’06 Pro Bowl." Of course I can. And for good measure, I threw in the Jim Ross version below.
