I guess it was only a matter of time. You can now place wagers on who the next Redskins' head coach will be. Though there is nothing official from the Redskins that they'll definitely terminate Jim Zorn at or before the conclusion of the season, online betting place Play Blackjack Online has compiled a list with odds of possible coaching candidates.

Okay, I'm just gonna throw this out there: David Anderson is the most underrated guy in the NFL. And no, not from a "talent" or "football" perspective -- I'm talking about humor. You hear all the time about big-name athletes and how funny they are, but guys like Anderson just somehow slip under the radar.

Yet, look at his short but amazing resume thus far: a Conan O'Brien touchdown celebration dance, showing up to training camp with the same "haircut" as Matt Schaub, then producing an instructional video on how to do said Conan dance and finally running for President of the Texans (WTF). Turns out, he does a pretty good Ron Jaworski impression, as he sits down (or stands up if you prefer) with my peeps from JockLife.com (via Hot Clicks) to flash his three sentence analyzing ability.

Neither the Daily Show nor the Colbert Report delve into the sports realm all that often. However, the current Philadelphia-New York rivalry has apparently stoked enough passion in Jersey-born Jon Stewart (he's right in the middle, yo!) for him to send correspondents Jason Jones and John Oliver out on the street to measure the rivalry.

But, per usual, they're not just looking at the fans -- they're deciding which fans are more awful (or "bigger douches" as the clip actually says like 150 times; should you be afraid that such a phrase will not be popular on your office speakers, consider yourself forewarned). And they have real, live clips, which are hysterical, of course. "Clash of the Cretins" video, courtesy of the CC Insider, after the jump.

Is it all the rage to make silly comments in the announcing booth these days? Because, between Bob Griese's taco pop and what Gus Johnson dropped on Sunday, well, it sure seems like announcers are becoming less aware of what they say these days.

Oh, you didn't hear what Gus dropped as Tennessee's Chris Johnson was ripping off a long touchdown run? How about: "First down and 10. Johnson ... gets his shoulders square! Watch out! He's got gettin' away from the cops speed! Touchdown!" Emphasis there was mine (as much as it can be with Mr. Johnson, anyway) and sure, he's got a pretty good reason to think that CJ might be running from the cops -- after all, the Titans running back did attend ECU (I kid, I kid). But my pro-Wolfpack biases aside, if Gus happens to be -- as Brian Powell pointed out -- say, Jim Nantz, this probably doesn't go over quite as well.

Vid after the jump, natch.

GREEN BAY, Wis. -- Shame on them for booing him, mocking him, staging funerals for him, wearing flip-flops and eating waffle fries to ridicule him. The hostility toward Brett Favre was an embarrassment to a community that never looked smaller, an affront to the idea that the publicly owned Packers and their fans form a unique family bond amid the greed and sleaze of 21st-century sports. If the Cheeseheads truly had perspective, they would have stood and applauded the man whose swaggering presence defined a franchise and state for 16 years, and then they'd have rooted like hell for their boys to beat the old dude and the despised Minnesota Vikings.

Houston Texan Owen Daniels is currently leading the NFL in yards by a tight end with 497 and is near the top of the league in touchdowns, yards per game and receptions. Apparently, he also leads the league in excellent Halloween costumes.

According to right tackle Eric Winston, the picture to the right is Daniels dressed up as one of the Saturday Night Live D**k in a Box guys. You can see pictures of other Texans players in Halloween costumes on Winston's twitpics page.

If you are not familiar with this costume, here's the censored version of the SNL sketch (things get a little racy after the jump, it may not be for those with delicate sensibilities):

NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell was on the Hill Wednesday talking to Congress about "Legal Issues Relating to Football Head Injuries." So, naturally, Rep. Steve King (R-Iowa) used the forum as an opportunity to grill Goodell about Rush Limbaugh's interest in becoming part owner of the St. Louis Rams.

Video after the jump, but here's all you need to know: After King warmly welcomed the commissioner he got right down to business.

I've mentioned it before but as long as the Redskins continue to flail their way through the season, and owner Dan Snyder and the assistant to the traveling secretary Vinny Cerrato continue to incite an already disgruntled fan base, I suspect we'll see more of the creative spirit to help supporters cope with the rampant incompetence.

Today's offering: BangCartoon's "Flawed Execution." John Tayman is the guy behind the art and, sadly, he's a Redskins fan. But the suffering makes the final product all the more heartfelt, poignant and funny as hell.

Fun starts after the jump.
