Authorities in Miami have stepped up security for Super Bowl XLIV at Land Shark Stadium.Security will be at an all-time high for Super Bowl XLIV down in Miami. The Associated Press described the scene at Land Shark Stadium last week thusly:
“A swath of the parking lot was filled with armored SWAT vehicles, bomb-handling robots, mobile command posts, explosive-sniffing dogs, even a large X-ray device used by the U.S. Homeland Security Department to screen ocean-going shipping containers.”
So don’t worry, everybody. There’s absolutely no way Michaele Salahi will be able to sneak in as a cheerleader.

Can you believe this chick? Not only does she crash President Obama’s state dinner with her husband, she also tries to pass herself off as a former Redskinette — even though none of the cheerleaders of her, uh, vintage, remember her.
We’ll know she’s gone off the deep end if, after Sunday’s game, Jason Campbell says he “heard a female voice” on his helmet radio at one point “telling me to send everybody long.”

You’ve gotta hand it to Jets coach Rex Ryan. His rookie quarterback, Mark Sanchez, didn’t know how to slide properly at the end of a run, so Ryan brought in Yankees manager Joe Girardi to tutor him.
Alas, Sanchez didn’t show much improvement in Thursday’s game against the Bills — which really isn’t that surprising. Girardi, let’s not forget, stole just 44 bases in his 15 major league seasons and got thrown out 41.3 percent of the time.

Next time, Rex, try Derek Jeter (305 thefts, 79.2 percent success rate).

Can’t decide which is more alarming, the Vikings’ Adrian Peterson getting pulled over for going 109 mph in a 55 mph zone or a police spokeswoman calling it a “very routine” traffic stop.
Yikes. It’s routine for Minnesotans to drive 54 mph over the speed limit? Obviously, we’ve completely misled by Garrison Keillor’s bow tie.
