Alright, Brett Hull is now on my list of favorite hockey players. He was always a borderline favorite, but after he switched his Twitter image to the picture you see on the right, I'm sold. The caption to it said, "New pic for all my friends in buffalo xoxo." Amazing!
For those of you who don't know the back story or don't recognize hockey as a top sport, I'll sum it up. In Game 6 of 1999 Stanley Cup Final in triple overtime, Hull shot a puck on net at Dominik Hasek, the goalie for the Buffalo Sabres, and he made the save. There was a rebound that hit off of Hull's skate, and he kicked it towards his stick. His other skate was still in the blue area that... Read More
If you don't remember Steven Slater's name, you probably remember him as the legendary JetBlue flight attendant who freaked out at a passenger in summer 2010, grabbed some beers off the airplane, pulled the emergency chute and slid down in a blaze of glory. As much as everyone would love to quit our jobs (not our Bro Council jobs, though) in a huge YouTube-worthy display, most of us don't. Because turns out, you can get in a whole lot of trouble. This week, Slater was sentenced in Queens, New York. He managed to avoid jail time because he didn't have a prior criminal history and he agreed to a years worth of mental health and alcohol abuse treatment, a... Read More

Let that sink in for a second. Wait for it....wait....ok. Now we can continue with the article.
The rapper, who battled it out in the early 1990's with Vanilla Ice for the least hardcore rapper Grammy award is beta testing a new search engine that he hopes will overtake Google and Bing for the top spots in search traffic. Hammer was at the Web 2.0 summit in San Francisco on Wednesday and announced his new venture.
The new engine will be called "WireDoo", and Hammer has been working on it for two years now. So is Hammer a web designer, rapper, or commercial pitchman? I'm so confused. I do know he's ambitious. When asked what would make his... Read More
Remember at the beginning of the season, after Week One, people were calling Rex Grossman the real deal? Yeah, that's why you should never base your MVP votes on the first three weeks of the season. He's now getting benched for John Beck after throwing approximately 12 interceptions in last week's game (actual number of interceptions may vary). He went from being eligible for YouTube tribute videos set to Justin Timberlake music, to Steve Young calling him a little kid, to being benched for Beck and given a different kind of YouTube video.
I'm not saying Rex Grossman won't be a starting quarterback in the NFL next year, I'm just saying that he shouldn't... Read More
Pat's Take: Now this is pretty cool.
Ray's Take: I think Pat is still worried about animals taking over the world, and who knows...maybe he's right. What I see when I look at this picture though is a shark. With one eye. Pretty cool...plus he's albino. Now I finally know what we need here at Bro Council to finish off our exotic aquarium - an albino, cyclops-shark with zebra stripes. Yeah, we're one-uppers here.
Now, I'm usually pretty skeptical about internet pictures. But this one looks to be real. According to the site, this "Cyclops shark, sliced from the belly of a pregnant mama dusky shark caught by a commercial fisherman in the Gulf of California earlier... Read More
