			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Here is one video that I found on <a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2009/06/16/artie-lange-rips-joe-buck_n_216163.html">Huffington Post</a> that has yet to be taken off of youtube. In true Artie fashion, after Buck mentions that TMZ is his favorite website, he asked if his second favortie was suckingcock.com. The man is a legend and would be perfect taking over as host of the Sports Soup cause that guy makes the show actually suck cock. Also, check out the OT part of the show where it really gets ugly and the shit hits the fan when Artie starts talking about jizz.</p>

He had this to say in a discussion centered on former President Bush moving to Feherty place of residence, Dallas, &#8220;From my own experience visiting the troops in the Middle East â€¦ despite how the conflict has been portrayed â€¦, if you gave any U.S. soldier a gun with two bullets in it, and he found himself in an elevator with Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid and Osama bin Laden, thereâ€™s a good chance that Nancy Pelosi would get shot twice, and Harry Reid and bin Laden would be strangled to death.&#8221; <a href="http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2009/05/10/golf-analyst-feherty-sorry-pelosi-joke-dallas-magazine/">He eventually apologized for the comment</a>, but man, I can&#8217;t wait to see him go head to head with one of those political talking heads. Classic television would clearly ensue.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This interview with Erin Andrews truly shows how much better Miss Kolber truly is. EA is talking about crying during <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0108160/">Sleepless in Seattle</a> and reading <a href="tmz.com">TMZ</a>, while if this same interview was done with Suzy I feel the answers would be a little bit different. I could see Kolber reading <a href="withleather.com">WithLeather</a> and only admit to crying afterÂ  she sees a perfectly executed sweep block from the left guard. This might sound a little dykey on Kolber&#8217;s part or gay on my part, but I just don&#8217;t want to be stuck talking about who Perez Hilton thinks is going to be next to come out of the closet which is almost assured after hearing the thoughts of Andrews. Oh and I could guess Suzy&#8217;s dream date, he&#8217;s commonly known as The Second Coming.<br />

<p>Here are a couple interviews, one each for the King of Pop and the Steeler safety respectively. The first is of Jacko doing what he does best, being creepy and off-putting. The second is of Polamalu on the 700 Club, where he probably had a <a href="http://www.spike.com/video/pat-robertsons-leg/2730623">leg-press competition with Pat Robertson</a>. Watch these two videos and you will notice that their voices are eerily similar. Hopefully Troy doesn&#8217;t start sleeping with other people&#8217;s kids in his bed. That might be a tough one to talk about in the lockerroom, which is oddly enough one place that MJ would pay to be.</p>

			<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;" title="kurt-warner" src="http://thisisgodgiven.com/wp-content/uploads/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" class="lightview" rel="gallery[727]">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" class="lightview" rel="gallery[727]">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" class="lightview" rel="gallery[727]">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;" title="ortongilbert" src="http://thisisgodgiven.com/wp-content/uploads/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;" title="ellennash" src="http://thisisgodgiven.com/wp-content/uploads/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;" title="etheridgezito" src="http://thisisgodgiven.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/01/etheridgezito.jpg" alt="etheridgezito" width="520" height="360" /></p>
