Justifyable Caking: Reggie & Kim K In Costa Rica

When your boo has a shooter like McGavin, then it’s never a bad idea to take her on a vacation to Costa Rica to see what that thang look (and smell) like in a bikini. After winning the Super Bowl and his job in New Orleans Reggie Bush is probably feeling on top of the world with that roster bonus hitting like some switches in Cali circa 1994, so he took his boo Kim Kardashian way down south for a couple days of relaxing and smashing to boot. Guaranteed Reggie was like a squirrel preparing for the winter.

Holler Back: Merlin Olsen Chunks The Deuces

Hall of Famer and Former Rams Legend Merlin Olsen passed away at age 69 Thursday after a battle with mesothelioma (cancer), which is easily one of the worst-sounding diseases known to man. Olsen was diagnosed with the form of lung cancer about a year ago and has kept a low profile in that time. The Utah State graduate, won the Outland Trophy in 1961 and was the Rams’ 3rd overall pick in the 1962 draft. Olsen was apart of the “Fearsome Foursome” the infamous defensive line, that also featured Deacon Jones, Rosey Grier and Lamar Lundy.

A beast in his time, Olsen was known for his compassion on opposing quarterbacks, unlike the original QB Killa Deacon Jones, who was notorious for trying to deliver the wood as a means of exciting his. Olsen gained a greater satisfaction from merely getting the tackle, shutting down the offense and moving on to the next play. In his 15 seasons with the Rams Olsen was selected to 14 Pro Bowls and an was named MVP in 1974. He was selected to the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 1982

Following his football career Olsen took advantage of being a celebrity in Los Angeles, parlaying his success on the gridiron into a solid acting career, teaming with Michael Landon on Little House On The Prairie and eventually getting his own spin-off, Father Murphy. Olsen had a very successful career as a broadcaster working for both NBC and CBS during his days in the booth.

Break Bread: Eagles Give Vick Roster Bonus

Vick was in Baltimore Tuesday where he received the Ed Block Courage Award as the Eagles selection.

Mike Vick did enough work during his limited action in 2009 for the Eagles to decide to keep him on the roster (at least for now) and pay him a $1.5 million bonus Wednesday. Vick signed a 2-year deal with Philly after getting released from prison last summer and is scheduled to make more than $5 mill this season. Even though the Eagles decided to break bread with the multi-talented quarterback, odds are they will try to move him via trade, most likely for a 2nd round pick or comparable compensation but only if the deal is right.

The Eagles currently have 3 quarterbacks on the roster, with Donovan McNabb remaining the starter after signing an extension last summer that has him under contract through 2010. But with a $6 million roster bonus scheduled to hit on Cinco de Mayo, it wouldn’t be surprising if the Eagles tried to unload D-Mac to save some cheese. It’s a safe bet that between McNabb, Vick and the other solid backup Kevin Kolb, one of these men will not be with the squad come opening kickoff. Vick is the likely choice, considering that he has made it known that he wants to start. But that’s not really up to him and could be tough titty as an old head would say.

It’s baffling that a team with a quarterback deficiency, like say the Rams, would not be willing to part with their 2nd round pick in exchange for one of the most dynamic quarterbacks in NFL history. Vick still has a solid arm, great wheels and a lot left in the tank. Why risk a draft pick on an unproven player when you can have Vick, which would guarantee a boost in attendance and jersey sales.

Julius Peppers Pops Champagne As Thanks To Chicago

As a solid entrance to his new home in the windy city, former Panthers defensive end Julius Peppers took it to the concrete Saturday night, getting his grub on with Lovie Smith and former Viking Chester Taylor and buying 25 bottles of Perrier Jouet Fleur at more $350 a pop at Crescendo, a Chicago hotspot no doubt filled with every level of beezy. Needless to say Peppers feels on top of the world after signing one of the richest contracts in NFL history, and shaking the spot in Carolina, where he was hit with the franchise tag, known for making many aging football stars salty like some pickle juice.

Peppers contract is pretty fire and desire, 6 years for damn near $92 million, of which he will at least see a solid 40-piece, that can buy all the biscuits a man could ever want. With an on paper net worth close to 9 figures, Peppers is now legendary but must be careful because he is now on the radar of your upper-echelon dime, side boo or late night, operating in the same hemisphere as Tiger (the average square will never understand). While this does come with great benefits, it also comes with great risks, most importantly being dimed out aka snitched on for actions that some would frown upon.

Peppers basically dimed himself out with his decision to pop champagne like he won the championship game, as each bottle could have posed the potential for some negative press, which would have made a kind gesture look like a very questionable decision. What would have happened if someone decided to spray one of the bottles all over the crowd to fuel a scuffle? or broke it over someone else’s head during a customary “damn homie, did you just step on my gators,” type of dispute? Not too far-fetched. Via Chicago Tribune

Favre Hollers At Jay Leno About Future With Vikings

I’m still salty out how my dude Conan O’Brien got did, even though he did get broken off with major chippers, but Jay Leno’s first week back as host of the “Tonight Show” has been pretty decent. It’s tough being institutionalized and having a young fly dude steal all your shine, but Jay still has his swag and decided to comeback like Michael Jordan. Thursday Brett Favre came through and got hit up on the question that nobody is really tripping on at this point but will surely linger like dookie breath–will he return for one more season.

Conventional wisdom says that much like Jay, Favre is also institutionalized and after coming a pick away from a Super Bowl appearance last season, you have to figure he wants to give it one more go. Especially after putting up some of the best numbers in his career, with a squad that has more weapons of mass destruction than them North Koreans. As per expected, Favre was very non-committal on the subject of his return, but Jay did his best to try and get him to shed some light.

Overall the interview was boring, but Favre and Jay are both super old heads, so it was to be expected.

Sean Payton Deebo’s Jerry Jones’ Bottle Of Wine

After moderately stunning the world and bringing the first Super Bowl to New Orleans, Sean Payton probably feels like he has king kong-sized balls right now, even though in reality they may be closer to the size of malt balls. The Saints head coach, in Indianapolis this past week attending the Combine, put them on display during a dinner with some friends and members of his staff at the legendary St. Elmo Steak House (food is pretty decent, except for the shrimp cocktail, which is fire and desire).

As Payton’s crew was getting their grub on, and pig out (you’ve seen what NFL coaches look like), word spread that Cowboys owner Jerry Jones, set to have dinner the following night at the restaurant in the same private room, reserved a bottle of Caymus Special Selection, of which there was only one remaining. Unfortunately Payton, who spent 3 seasons on the Cowboys staff as an assistant coach before taking over in New Orleans, had other plans in mind. Payton somehow convinced (probably broke some bread) the waiter to give his crew the bottle and proceed to get their proverbial drank on.

After the group finished the fine wine Payton decided to kick it up another notch, autographing the bottle and demanding that they leave it on the table for Jones to see the next night. Payton left the following message on the bottle:

WHO DAT!

World Champions XLIV

Sean Payton

You definitely can’t say that Payton doesn’t have some marbles, but guaranteed Jerry Jones isn’t going to forget it, or let it ride. Karma is a beezy. Via SI

Dancing With The Stars Season 10 Cast Released

DWTS is one of your more decent shows in the game and Monday night ABC announced which legends will take it to the dance floor for the 10th installment of the hit show. As per usual there are a few sports figures in the cast including the peepholed Erin Andrews, gold medal figure skater Evan Lysacek and the always entertaining Chad Ochocinco (who could very well be known as Chad Hachi Go once filming gets underway).

Rounding out the roster on the girls side is Shannon Doherty, Nicole Scherzinger, Niecy Nash and Kate Gosselin, who basically got famous for getting skeeted in a little too often. Besides Ocho and Lysacek (who is mashing another gold medalist, gymnast Nastia Liukin) the dude’s side features Aiden Turner (from the stories), Jake Pavelka (The “Bachelor) and legendary astronaut Buzz Aldrin, who at 80 years old, has a good chance of kicking the bucket before fans can vote him off.

Season 10 debuts March 22 and we are definitely rolling with Ocho Cinco to win the whole thing.

Boo Spotting: Kim Kardashian Wearing Booty Pants

Reggie Bush’s boo was spotted (as usual) mashing around the Greater Los Angeles area wearing some of those booty pants that can even make a girl with no cheeks look like Serena. But not in Kim’s case, because her cheek game is buttoned up like a super-duper remote control. Whenever Ms. Kardashian takes it to the concrete, you know dudes (and a few beezies) are going to break their neck like Christopher Reeve trying to get an up close and personal glimpse to see what’s really good.

Check out some more pics of Kim, including a few displaying a solid moose knuckle, after the jump…
