The Badgers have a 6′5″ 307-pound guard who changes jerseys during the game to serve as a fullback. That’s right, a 307-lb fullback. Oh, fun!

Did NBC do this last year? Those down and yard marker ice cream coned with a scoop of the offensive team’s logo in them? Worst, they don’t even come off the screen once the play starts. Did NBC receive a bunch of letters from viewers complaining about not having enough childish garbage on the field during game play? Look at the below, is there really a need for more graphic design vomit on the field? Is Sunday Night Football for Idiots now? Please stop this.

That is an actual sentence from the report on today’s Wisconsin Football Coaches Association All-Star Game.

Here is CBS Sports turning a column over to an insane person named Gregg Doyel. Gregg is the most American American of all America. In an actual (not The Onion) column at CBS-fucking-Sports, Gregg argues that the US allows other teams to be better at soccer:

Their grandsons will play soccer. The world changes everywhere else — cars, clothes, technology — but overseas, the sport stays the same. Soccer is all they do. Meanwhile, we moved on. We invented basketball. We invented baseball. We invented American football. If it’s a team sport, we either made it or we perfected it. All but soccer, anyway.”

Team Argentina’s coach and top star, Diego Maradona and Lionel Messi (respectively) have anemic Twitter accounts. The adorable part? The only Twitter feeds each follows beside WorldCup2010 is the other’s.

Aw.

Many of the stars (and teams) featured in the now iconic ad are slumping, tragically. See what we mean after the jump.

Didier Drogba sustained several injuries and was only able to join his Ivory Coast team several games into the tournament, where he scored, in a loss to Brazil. Drogba’s team will now have to score at least 8 goals against North Korea and hope for a Brazil win over Portugal or it goes home.

Captain Fabio Cannavaro’s former champion Team Italy is being called an embarrassment after its Algeria result and then drawing against New Zealand. (New Zealand!)

No joke, that below is a Life Magazine “Sexy World Cup Fans” slideshow. The chase for page-views has officially become tragic.
