The new Adidas commercial featuring Robert Griffin III has been released and I’ve got to say, it’s every bit as awesome as anything you’d expect out of this kid. My only complaint is that there aren’t enough shots of RG3′s socks. I’m not talking anything gratuitous, but I think the video could have added a whole new dimension of awesomeness if each of his characters subtly gave us a classy ankle-slip. I just feel it’d have made things feel a little more authentic. Without it, it’d be like Gronkowski shooting a commercial with his shirt on the whole time, I mean, if that were physically possible. It’s not. (Helmet 2 Helmet)

Former Bengal and current Texan cornerback Johnathan Joseph made headlines today for his comparison between the two franchises, the central focus of coverage on his complaint that Cincinnati regulated how much Gatorade the players could take home. Until now, the Bengals have been able to hide their strict Gatorade policy under a blanket of deception by losing all their games as an extreme method of saving on Gatorade baths. Bold decision, Cotton. Let’s see how that works out for them. (Houston Chronical via SportsByBrooks)

Boston Bruin’s Milan Lucic proved that while men like a woman in the streets and a freak between the sheets, it is better to err on the side of freak, as a general MO, than risk a girl who might turn lady-like when it’s least appreciated. Lucic recently proposed to long-time girlfriend Brittany Carnegie, a girl best known for her drunken public fights with Lucic and absurdly confusing twitter rant at Canuck’s Cory Schneider’s girlfriend. I doubt Lucic had to worry about this one getting away. She seems more the type to turn Ali Larter Obsessed rather than purchasing He’s just not that into you and a pint of häagen dazs, but, hey, I guess a guy’s gotta do what a guy’s gotta do.  (The Awesome Boston)

We all know how Carmelo Anthony feels about the Jeremy Lin contract despite his attempt at back tracking on his earlier statements, but in a league that is known for botched contracts that guarantee wayyyyy too much money for potential busts, was he really just saying what everyone is thinking about most of the contracts they see scroll along the ticker of our TV screens during free agency? In the spirit of Melo’s grievance that some contracts are ridiculous, check out this solid Bleacher Report piece on One Player Each Team Wishes They Could Cut Right Now. (Bleacher Report)

This solidifies it: Things are going to get a lot worse in Penn State before they are going to get any better. (Lost letterman)

Kris Humphries took a moment away from looking like an a**hole to sign a two-year, $24 million contract with the Nets. How long do you think it took them to explain the part about how it’s a business deal and it didn’t mean they were actually going to be together for life? I heard he has a hard time understanding the intricacies of things like that. (ESPN)

President Barack Obama and the First Lady were booed by fans at the US-Brazil basketball game last night after not making out when put on the Kiss Cam early in the game. I guess they got a second and final shot at it during the fourth quarter, which they then complied, meaning the President of the United States of America just fell victim to peer pressure. He should’ve just held up a sign that said, “I easily could have you all killed.” At least that would’ve at least earned a little more street cred. (Withleather)
