Friday Wrap Up: Brooklyn Decker Stops By To Say Hello And Brighten Your Day

Happy Friday everyone.  Seems like it's been a long week, right?  At least for me, it has.  Maybe it's the clouds and grey skies.  Luckily, Brooklyn Decker is here to make us forget about the grey skies.  Hell, she can help you forget anything you need some distraction from. 

1. Aaron Rodgers isn't that bad of a guy after all.  Earlier this week, a video of the Green Bay QB was making the rounds through the internet.  It is a video of Aaron Rodgers walking by a fan at an airport that is dressed in all pink breast cancer swag.  When watching the video, it looks like Rodgers purposely ignores this lady and snubs her autograph request.

Every column and blog had their shot at Rodgers during this past week.  But Gregg Doyel of CBSSports.com sets the record straight about what kind of person Aaron Rodgers really seems to be.  Good stuff.

2. Blake Griffin's hot girlfriend is just some random hot chick, and not really his girlfriend.  This whole thing got really confusing today when Brooks over at SPORTSbyBROOKS posted the story breaking down how this fake "Blake Griffin's girlfriend" rumor got started.  It's a good story and it looks as though, for some stupid reason, someone started this internet rumor.  Well, all I know is that whoever actually calls Jasmine Shein his girlfriend, he is a lucky, lucky man.

Then, like an hour later, John Canzano of the Oregonian tweeted that Blake Griffin says he met his girlfriend on Facebook, which is in line with the original rumors that SPORTSbyBROOKS debunked.  So Blake Griffin may or may not have a hot girlfriend and he may or may not have met her through Facebook.  Or something.  Anyway...(UPDATE: Looks like Canzano has since deleted that tweet, but below is a picture of it.)


3. Homeless dude wins ESPN.com fantasy football contest.  And he won it all on the last week, when at the very last minute, he decided to start Tim Tebow, instead of Matt Cassell and Josh Freeman.  Pretty freakin' incredible if you ask me.  This season, I qualified for the playoffs with my crappy 8th seeded team, and very nearly made a Cinderella-like run and won the whole damn thing.  But geez, I needed like an ounce of this guy's luck and the title would have been mine.  Maybe next year, I guess.  Pretty crazy story though.

The best part of the story is this sentence: "My fiancee says she's never going to say a word about fantasy football when I'm on the computer again," Harrington said.  Yeah, I bet she won't.

4. The Oregon Duck cheerleaders are the hottest damn group of hotties in this fine country.  Watch the video and then google them sometime.  Anytime.  Just do it.  You'll enjoy it.

5. Why no one remembers the Mark Sanchez rape case.  Personally, I don't even remember hearing about this.  Nothing against Mark Sanchez, but this is pretty interesting stuff.  Everyone has been killing Ben Roesthlisberger for his off-the-field miscalculations and problems.  But he may not be the only one that has his share of issues.  The Deadspin article ends with this, and it seems to be the point of the article: "There's a story everyone wants to tell about Sanchez, and his getting popped on a rape accusation doesn't fit."

Anyway, folks.  Have a good and safe weekend.  Catch you all later.
