]]> Earlier today I heard about a commercial from a gay (obligatory Seinfeld not that there’s anything wrong with it line) dating site that was rejected by CBS from airing during the Super Bowl.

Here’s the scoop from Chicago Breaking Sports:

Gay-dating site Mancrush.com claims CBS has rejected its proposed Super Bowl commercial because it features two men making out on a couch.

Mancrush.com spokeswoman Elissa Buchter told CNBC’s Darren Rovell that CBS said it was sold out of Super Bowl advertising time.

Rovell writes that as of Thursday, advertising time remained for the Feb 7 game. That raised the question of, if CBS is willing to air Tim Tebow’s pro-life spot, why not a commercial for a same-sex dating site?

Money, or lack of it, might be the real issue. One unnamed television source told Rovell the site wouldn’t pass the mandatory credit check.

Then I saw the video and realized what we Bears fans have suspected for years – that Packers and Viking fans are GAY.  The dudes making out are clearly a Packer fan donning AJ Hawk’s #50 and a Viking fan sporting an Adrian Peterson #28.  Check out the supposed commercial for yourself: … [visit site to read more]

]]> The NFL is doing their level best to make chicken salad out of chicken shit when it comes to the Pro Bowl.  By moving the Pro Bowl to the week before the Super Bowl, the NFL is trying to increase the visibility and increase fan interest.  It’s not working.  The best players on the best teams  – in this case the Colts and Saints - have pulled out of the game.  This only adds to an already extensive list of players who pull out of the game with injuries both major and minor.

Let’s get this out of the way up front – there is no way to make the intensity of the Pro Bowl anywhere near that of a real NFL game.   It’s an exhibition game featuring the best players who want no part of an offseason injury that could cost them a season.  I can’t disagree.  How angry would you be if Lance Briggs blew an ACL playing in a meaningless game?

So what can be done to try to at least increase fan interest?  Follow the jump for my idea.
