			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: left">In one of my better moments I was watching Kurt Warner highlights thinking about how he met his wife while he was bagging groceries and decided to take in the divorcee and her two children. It&#8217;s is probably the most solid move I have ever heard, while simultaneously being the dumbest decision of all time. After pondering this great story, I then moved my thought process to &#8211; How can I make fun of Kurt Warner&#8217;s wife, Brenda. Other than her having a trailer park/pregnant high schooler first name, you can&#8217;t look past her haircut. So after noticing her resemblance to lesbian I developed this question. If eharmony were to match up famous lesbians and athletes, who would wind up with who?</p>
<p style="text-align: center"><img class="size-full wp-image-728 alignnone" style="margin: 5px" src="http://thisisgodgiven.com/files/2009/01/kurt-warner.jpg" alt="kurt-warner" width="420" height="420" /></p>
<p style="text-align: left">1. <span style="text-decoration: underline"><strong><em>Darlene from <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0094540/">Roseanne</a> (Sara Gilbert) / Kyle Orton</em></strong></span> &#8211; They can call them &#8220;the Muff and the Scruff.&#8221; They were made for each other as she grew up in the fictional Lanford, Illinois and you cannot forget old <a href="http://image-1-stage-my.cmt.ca/Assets/CMS/ManagedAssets/7ef17873f0d7403382c37cee7fccc8c2.jpg">Dan Connor constantly wearing those Bears sweatshirts</a>. Darlene was always into that <a href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0301959/">short little guy who&#8217;s on Big Bang Theory</a> now, so it is definitely time for her to meet a real man, especially an <a href="http://thebestsportsblog.com/images/2007/02/orton.jpg">alpha male such as Kyle Orton</a> and his neckbeard.Â  Orton would definitely be into the white trash type as he has previously shown with his <a href="http://talkingheadtv.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/07/kyle-orton-drinking-deadspin-com.bmp">alcoholic beverage choices</a>. Anyway, these two would obviously be in the running to be featured on the next season of <a href="http://www.cmt.com/shows/dyn/my-big-redneck-wedding/series.jhtml">My Big Red Neck Wedding</a>.<img class="size-full wp-image-744 aligncenter" style="margin-top: 5px;margin-bottom: 5px" src="http://thisisgodgiven.com/files/2009/01/ortongilbert.jpg" alt="ortongilbert" width="513" height="360" /></p>
<p style="text-align: left">2. <span style="text-decoration: underline"><strong><em>Ellen Degeneres / Steve Nash</em></strong></span> &#8211; Being probably the most lesbian out of this entire group, I would imagine Ellen to be matched up with one of the most feminine looking athletes on the face of the Earth. She would definitely go for the &#8220;euro&#8221; haircuts and might even be able to give him a few pointers on his <a href="http://thisisgodgiven.com/2008/11/17/steve-nash-is-faster-than-sharks/">Vitamin Water ads</a>. They both also seem to be at the top of their respective games and would obviously become a pop culture power couple for the ages. I&#8217;m thinking this would be the perfect combo for a Will and Grace -esque sitcom.</p>
<p style="text-align: center"><img class="size-full wp-image-745 alignnone" style="margin: 5px" src="http://thisisgodgiven.com/files/2009/01/ellennash.jpg" alt="ellennash" width="520" height="360" /></p>
<p style="text-align: left">3. <span style="text-decoration: underline"><strong><em>Melissa Etheridge / Barry Zito</em></strong></span> &#8211; This seems to be a match made in heaven when it comes to the shared love of guitars. Also, It is very easy to see Zito hitting rock bottom after the past few miserable seasons. I imagine him becoming a modern day <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Crosby">David Crosby</a>, mustache and all. Crosby also just so happens to be the creator of the sperm that artificially inseminated <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Melissa_Etheridge#Personal_life">Etheridge&#8217;s girlfriend on a number of occasions</a>. Let me set the scene for you, Zito staying in San Fran, refusing to sign with another team so that he can play his guitar in coffee shops across the city. Zito&#8217;s featured song, a cover of <a href="http://www.clevver.com/music/video/14862/melissa-etheridge-come-to-my-window.html">Etheridge&#8217;s biggest hit</a>, which he cleverly titles &#8220;I Cum In Her Window.&#8221;</p>
<p style="text-align: center"><img class="size-full wp-image-746 alignnone" style="margin: 5px" src="http://thisisgodgiven.com/files/2009/01/etheridgezito.jpg" alt="etheridgezito" width="520" height="360" /></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20081119/ap_on_sp_fo_ne/fbn_cowboys_pacman_returns">Pacman Jones was re-instated</a> by <a href="http://www.google.com/url?sa=U&amp;start=1&amp;q=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roger_Goodell&amp;ei=hvAkSfrGPKjeerX1uFA&amp;usg=AFQjCNHECnZHMNQ4-o0xV8-re5DTICU5cA">Roger Goodell</a> and I found that there could only be one reason that this could have occurred. First off, Goodell should not of <a href="http://www.examiner.com/x-850-Dallas-Cowboys-Examiner~y2008m11d18-Adam-Pacman-Jones-looks-to-be-reinstated">suspended him for this last mishap due to his team-issued body guard starting the fracas</a>. Secondly, if he did need to suspend him, then he should not be re-instated so easily, I just think he pulling a little flip flop after all of that election talk over recent weeks.</p>
<p>Let me set the scene for you, Mr. Commissioner sits down on his couch and picks up the most recent issue of People magazine, which depicts <a href="http://www.people.com/people/package/article/0,,20237714_20241213,00.html">Hugh Jackman as their latest &#8220;Sexiest Man Alive.&#8221;</a> Goodell began to ponder who he thought was the sexiest man alive and since George Clooney took the spot a couple of years ago, he decided to go with Pacman and for this reason, let him back into the league. In lieu of this occasion I, the Second Coming, have created a cover issue for the coffeetable in the league office and more importantly, for Roger Goodell bathroom.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: left">The <a href="http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=3620176">news just broke that some guy was stopped in Montana with 6 pounds of marijuana and 3 kilos of cocaine</a>. This man divulged that <a href="http://ap.google.com/article/ALeqM5gxhI6uA4F-RBaxk62t85Xpo_yj7wD93HUJ7O0">Travis Henry was behind the transaction and the Tennessee product was arresting for intent to distribute, there was a little over $63,000 in the car</a>. It&#8217;s just a good thing that Henry took that suspension for a 3rd positive weed test so seriously. Also, it&#8217;s probably better that he will be spending time in the clink, away from his 9 illegitimate kids. <a href="http://www.fanhouse.com/2007/08/25/broncos-running-back-travis-henry-has-nine-children-by-nine-diff/">They weren&#8217;t getting their child support anyway</a>.</p>

Â </p>
<p><img border="0" vspace="5" align="left" width="295" src="http://blastmagazineblogs.com/posterboy/files/2008/07/20061010_vikingfan_2.jpg" hspace="5" alt="20061010_vikingfan_2.jpg" height="220" /><strong><u>Most Likely to Over-Acheive</u></strong> &#8211; <em>John David Booty</em> -Â he went in the 5th round, but he has to be happy to go to a team where the QBÂ job could be his by the end of next season. He&#8217;s accurate and his less than ideal arm-strength won&#8217;t hurt him too much in the west-coast offense.Â However, I do feel that Viking fans, as part of the NFC North, will have something to say about this whole three name thing. The name John David Booty sounds like an <a href="http://cwtv.com/shows/one-tree-hill">actor on someÂ CW drama</a>.</p>
<p><strong><u>Most-Likely to become Ricky Williams</u></strong> &#8211; <em>Aqib Talib</em>Â - Three positive marijuana tests in college do not bode well for this first round pick. He&#8217;s going to make a lot of picks in the cover 2 if he can lay off the bong. I guess he just needs toÂ <a href="http://www.bestweekever.tv/2008/02/05/the-10-funniest-anti-drug-commercials-in-advertising-history/">find his anti-drug</a>.</p>
<p align="center"><iframe title="YouTube video player" class="youtube-player" type="text/html" width="425" height="344" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/LTWDIUonqIw" frameborder="0" allowFullScreen="true"> </iframe></p>
<p><strong><u>Most-Likely to be a Bust</u></strong> &#8211; <em>Vernon Gholston</em>- there is a reason that you didn&#8217;t see him winning many awards while he was at Ohio St. He is inconsistent and I don&#8217;t see him being a leader, which I feel is a characteristic a number 6 pick should possess. Will likely soon be known as the &#8220;ghost&#8221; for his disappearing acts.Â </p>
<p><strong><u><img border="0" vspace="5" align="left" width="236" src="http://blastmagazineblogs.com/posterboy/files/2008/07/10842948_240x180.jpg" hspace="5" alt="10842948_240x180.jpg" height="175" /></u></strong></p>
<p><u><strong>Most-Ready to be a Cincinnati Bengal</strong></u> &#8211; <em>Jason Shirley</em> &#8211; he&#8217;s a defensive tackle from Fresno St. <a href="http://www.nfldraftscout.com/ratings/profile.php?pyid=18640">He also only played 3 games his senior year after being suspended twice before being dismissed from the team entirely</a>. Roger Goodell already has him on the Most-Wanted list.</p>
<p><strong><u></u></strong></p>
<p><strong><u>Most-Likely to be hated by his coach</u></strong> &#8211; <em>Leodis McKelvin</em>- he is going to be a corner playing in the cover 2, who does not like to come up and make tackles. He&#8217;ll be playing for Dick Jauron, <a href="http://www.ivyleaguesports.com/img/?x=article.asp1420.jpg">who was a defensive back himself in &#8217;70s</a>, which makes him not a pussy. Look for numerous remarks involving the term pansy.</p>
<p align="center"><iframe title="YouTube video player" class="youtube-player" type="text/html" width="425" height="344" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/SnB5vqObkLw" frameborder="0" allowFullScreen="true"> </iframe></p>
<p><strong><u>Most-Likely to pull a Michael Vick</u></strong> &#8211; <em>Darren McFadden</em> &#8211; Vick&#8217;s friends were his demise, and now McFadden <a href="http://video.aol.com/video-detail/e60-run-dmc/3834073218">comes in with brother&#8217;s in rival gangs</a>. I can see his brothers right now running a chop shop out of some warehouse that McFadden owns. My bet is that it will be called Big Rock&#8217;s Shop.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://blastmagazineblogs.com/posterboy/files/2008/06/tositups.jpg" title="tositups.jpg"></a><img border="0" vspace="5" align="left" width="298" src="http://blastmagazineblogs.com/posterboy/files/2008/06/tositups.jpg" hspace="5" alt="tositups.jpg" height="310" />T.O. has been having his youth football camp down in Texas the last couple years, but this year it will be a <a href="http://www.kansascity.com/sports/football/story/666726.html">star-studded affair</a>. First, it was recently announced that former &#8220;fastest man alive,&#8221; <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maurice_Greene_(athlete)">Maurice Green</a> will be providing someÂ insight on speed. This seems like a good find for Owens, Green has been coaching on the weekends since retiring and should be very helpful at the camp. Then we get to the other star that will be present at the camp, Michael Irvin. I believe his role will be like <a href="http://www.askmen.com/sports/fitness_top_ten_100/132_fitness_list.html">Lawrence Taylor in the Waterboy</a>. He will be providing advice on how to stay out of trouble or more likely, <a href="http://topics.nytimes.com/top/reference/timestopics/people/i/michael_irvin/index.html?offset=80&amp;s=newest">advice on how to not get caught with cocaine and prostitutes</a>. With this kind of help and a guy who <a href="http://www.thesmokinggun.com/archive/0927061owens1.html">may have tried to commit suicide</a>, these kids have nowhere to go but the top of the sporting world. I will keep them in my prayers.</p>

Everyone has seen those crazy <a href="http://www.montanameth.org/View_Ads/index.php">anti-meth</a> ads that give you worse nightmares than <a href="http://www.post-gazette.com/pg/08124/878856-63.stm">Pirates&#8217; minor leaguers have of Olivio Astacio</a>. Be prepared to be happy you don&#8217;t do meth, and laugh at some one-liners that <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bill_Raftery#Famous_Quotes">Bill Raftery</a> envies, who may not be to keen on these ads as he is known to utter &#8220;Ooo, a litle ectasy, they got everything out of that trip,&#8221; following a long possession.</p>
