Wednesday Links – Fire Millen 2.0, Prophecies, & Next Year’s Fantasy Stud

Today’s link post might be a bit truncated because I feel like death, but here goes: 

  • Looks like the Washington Redskins have banned all signs at FedEx Field to “protect spectators from getting injured by signs.” Riiiight. Remember this? (Sorry, the video won’t embed)  [‘Skins link via The Big Lead
  • Continuing with the ‘Skins bashing (we can do that because the Lions beat them), Deadspin digs deeper, also mentioning the “Fire Millen” connection. The Jon Gruden bit is pretty funny, as is the ever-prominent issue of bar bathroom etiquette (later in the article). 
  • When the San Antonio Spurs win the NBA title, let it be known that I was the first to predict that. Apparently, everyone else has the same idea. 
  • If you thought the hit Adrian Peterson laid on Pittsburgh’s William Gay was bad, check out this by Jonathan Dwyer of Georgia Tech. [via With Leather

  • Apparently, Caron Butler has ditched the Dew. This is insane:

    To try and give this up was CRAZY for me! I was going through withdrawals. I was in the bed sweating. My wife would turn over in the bed and ask “Are you OK?” .Honestly, those first two weeks without The Dew was the roughest two weeks of my life. I’m talking headaches, sweats and everything. Before that I drank at least six 12 ounce Mountain Dews a day.

    I’m surprised he wasn’t radioactive lime-green or something. You’d think with all that energy he would have done more for my fantasy team last year.  [via Ball Don’t Lie

  • Remember when your dad used to tell you “Do as I say, not as I do?” Maybe the Tampa Bay Lightning should have said that to this team
  • I don’t care how much it costs, I’m buying one of these. [via Guyism]  Forget the god-awful driving in that video for a second, and think about how that thing crushes two other vehicles and still drives away without a problem. Maybe the army should think about getting a few.
