The 49ers’ defensive leader had a tough day in the Nfc Championship on Jan. 19. Not only did his team fall to the Seattle Seahawks, but in the fourth quarter he went down with a horrific leg injury that cut his day short.
Unfortunately for NaVorro Bowman, the San Francisco 49ers linebacker joined Kevin Ware and Anderson Silva on the list of athletes who have suffered gruesome injuries on national TV. During a crucial play in Jan. 19′s Nfc Championship against the Seattle Seahawks, an opposing player fell on Bowman’s left leg, causing it to bend (and possibly break) in an extremely painful manner.
NaVorro Bowman Suffers Brutal Injury In 49ers-Seahawks Game
The score was 20-17 Seahawks, and they were approaching the goal line for a game-clinching score with 8:45 remaining in the game. But the 49ers fate seemed to swing when Bowman stripped the ball away from Seahawks receiver...

Just when the Tennessee Titans were just starting to make some noise in the NFL since Chris Johnson rushed for 2,000 yards in his rookie season, the Titans have run straight into a brick wall. Just a week removed from a stunning performance against the visiting San Diego Chargers (aside from a few maddening inconsistencies), quarterback Jake Locker was turning in his greatest performance under center.
In one half of play, Locker was turning heads with three touchdowns against a tough New York Jets defense, helping the Titans start off with a commanding 24-6 lead. But in the third quarter, the last thing that Titans fans needed to see happened.
On the beginning of their second drive in the third quarter, Jake Locker suffered two big hits from Jets defensive linemen Muhammad Wilkerson and Quinton Coples. After Locker’s attempted pass to Nate Washington was ruled incomplete, Titans fans watched as...

Celebrating the final game of the NFL season in the Big Easy, Chace Crawford, Josh Hutcherson, and Hayden Panettiere attended the Lacoste/GQ Super Bowl Party at The Elms Mansion in New Orleans on Saturday (February 2).
The "Gossip Girl" hunk sported a black Lacoste jacket and blue jeans with his brown loafers and scruffy face. Meanwhile, "Nashville" beauty Hayden chose a bright white jacket, black leather pants, and neon platform heels. On the other end of the spectrum, "Hunger Games" star Josh Hutcherson was very casually dressed in a gray "California" hoodie, denim jacket, and a trucker hat.
Guests at the star-studded event were treated to a performance by Lil Wayne, who thanked fans by saying, "Without you, I'm nothing."
As for the big game on Sunday, Hayden showed her support for pal Patrick Willis, tweeting a photo of her jersey with the caption, "49ers baby!!"...

Last time out I gave my predictions on the Afc Divisional winners and two wildcard teams, so naturally I’m set to tackle the Nfc . After much deliberation and 24/7 studying here are my Nfc predictions.
Nfc North
Green Bay Packers - Aaron Rodgers and the Green Bay passing game is just too good to not win the North. New running back Cedric Benson will be playing with a chip on his shoulder after going unwanted much of the off season. The defense is a question mark, but they get after the quarterback enough to offset some other defensive concerns.
Nfc South
Atlanta Falcons - I think the turmoil surrounding the New Orleans (N.O.) Saints will be enough to see the Falcons win the division. Not that Atlanta isn’t a very good team in their own right, but N.O. will have a lot to overcome. The Atlanta offense...

As we hurtle toward a promising 2012, 2011 has arguably been one of the most impressive years for the industry since, well, 2010. It’s a good time be playing games.
A saturation of semicolons is indicative of a continued franchise offensive by the major publishers and, if Spike TV’s Video Game Awards are anything to go by, it’s really paying off.
Warner Bros. Interactive led the way with a total of seven wins from its three strongest games – Bastion, Batman: Arkham City and Mortal Kombat. Bastion bagged Best Downloadable Game, as well Original Score and Best Song, whilst Arkham City came away with an impressive 4 wins over 11 categories.
Nintendo came out on top in some pretty big categories, bagging wins for Skyward Sword in Best Wii, Handheld and Motion Game.
However, coming away with top prize of Game of the Year, Bethesda seem to have finally nailed the open...

K-Swiss is back and launching the new Tubes training footwear campaign, featuring Kenny Powers, the fictional character played by Danny McBride in HBO's hit series, "Eastbound & Down."
Powers is dissatisfied with just being an athlete endorser of the brand, and anoints himself CEO in an effort to take over "basically the whole sports world," taking K-Swiss and Tubes training footwear to the next level.

No longer a spokesman, Powers is now the Mfceo.
Multi-league lockout threats. Sex scandals involving Perkins waitresses. Cameron Diaz hand-feeding A Rod popcorn in the stands during the Super Bowl.
The sports world has clearly gone pear shaped and Kenny Powers is looking to fix it.
Powers, the fictional star of HBO series Eastbound and Down, is back in his second campaign for K-Swiss shoes, but this time he’s not just a counterintuitive spokesperson, he’s the Mfceo (if you’ve seen the show you’ll know what the extra letters stand for. If not, give it a second).
K-Swiss and agency 72andSunny raised eyebrows last year when they debuted a campaign for K-Swiss’ new Tubes shoe fronted by the foul-mouthed, burned out pitcher character co-created and played by Danny McBride.
The campaign was notable for a few reasons, not least of which was the simple fact that a...

We still have yet to see a proper trailer for the second season of Eastbound & Down, which is due to premiere on HBO on September 26th. As luck would have it, however, Kenny Powers is starring in a series of new commercials for K-Swiss shoes that are basically the next best thing. The commercials are part of a real advertising campaign that include print ads, TV spots, and theatrical trailers, but they never cop to the fact that Kenny Powers is a fictional character. The ads themselves aren't all that outrageous, but I still wonder what people who aren't familiar with the show will think of them. Funny or Die [1] released a video earlier this week showcasing the fake board meeting where the endorsement deal was finalized, and there is a whole collection of TV spots over on the K-Swiss YouTube page [2]. They also feature NFL stars Jeremy Shockey and Patrick Willis,...
