Ray Lewis Accused of Using PED

Just days before Ray Lewis is scheduled to play in what may be his final game in the NFL, stories have started to surface that Lewis may have used Deer Antler Spray in the past, which contains a substance that is on the NFL's banned substance list.  The substance is a performer-enhancer that is connected to a human growth hormone.  When doing the usual Super Bowl media, the questions began to surface of whether or not Lewis had taken performance enhancement drugs, and Lewis shrugged it off in a way only Ray Lewis can.  Lewis never denied or confirmed the use of deer antler spray but he did state that this was a two year old story that he cared not to revisit.
"The team knew about this report.  Ray denies taking anything and has always passed tests." -Kevin Byrne, Baltimore Ravens spokesperson
I don't know what to believe let's just hope that this doesn't turn out like the Lance Armstrong situation and we find Ray Lewis sitting on Oprah's couch next year admitting to using Performance-Enhancing Drugs.

Rondo Out Indefinitely

Rajon Rondo missed Sunday's game against the Miami Heat after hyper extending his right knee Friday night against the Atlanta Hawks. Rondo is now listed as day to day after undergoing a MRI yesterday. Coach Doc Rivers is now experimenting with the starting line up after the Celtics loss six games in a row stating the following:

"We're going to start Jared, more just because Jared'a playing well. Honestly I don't love it because I worry about our bench. Our bench has been off the chats and that may affect them. But we're doing it because he's playing so well. I just thought the starters needed to shake up the lineup, even though I really and doing it cautiously because I just think at some point our starters will find themselves."

UPDATE: After undergoing a MRI, it has been determined that Rondo has a torn ACL and will be out the remainder of the season.

Te'o Sits Down With Couric

In Manti Te'o news, it seems that this guy is definitely not the smartest guy on Notre Dame campus.  Te'o recently sat down with Katie Couric to give his side of the story about what happened with his invisible girlfriend that died then came back to life, if that's how you want to put it.  One of the questions that was asked was is Te'o gay and he replied definitely not, but recently the voice of the "girl" that Te'o spent hours on hours talking on the phone to has been revealed and the woman he was talking to was a man disguising his voice as a woman.  Now I don't know about you but it definitely sounded like a man.  But maybe Te'o was just in denial and thought that "she" just had a really deep voice.

Well if this isn't a case of Tebow all over again, only difference is Colin Kaepernick is a descent quarterback.  So Colin Kaepernick has decided that kissing your bicep should now be called kaepernicking although I'm pretty sure that Colin Kaepernick is not the first person that has kissed their bicep.  Well Colin Kaepernick filed an application January 14th to have kaepernicking trademarked in which he will use the image on t-shirts and other items to sell.
