NFL Coaches Fight Club: the Tournament. Because we have nothing better to do than predict what might happen if head coaches started punching each other in the face.

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.

Last week the New York Times reported that President Barack Obama was criticized by women's advocates and liberal bloggers for hosting male-only pick-up basketball games.

The Times continues:

Brett Favre returns to Green Bay Sunday and FOX Sports will make sure you don't miss any of it. That's not hyperbole -- the network will have a camera trained on the 40-year-old quarterback for 60 minutes of football, and they'll stream it live on FOXSports.com and NFL.com.

Because if it's one thing that we need more of, it's Brett Favre.

The New York Times' Judy Battista first mentioned the news on Twitter ("Fox is going to have 'Favre-cam' Sunday, providing a non-stop online feed of Favre's every move at Lambeau. Lombardi, turning over.") And the Star-Tribune's Judd Zulgad got the official word from FOX: there will be a camera on the 50-yard line "isolated on Favre from the second he takes the field against his former team until the moment he runs back into the locker room."

Awesome.

And now something for the discerning fan: Collinsworth NFL 10.

It makes perfect sense, really. Cris Collinsworth replaced John Madden in the NBC Sunday Night Football booth, and Madden is responsible for changing the face of gaming. So naturally, Collinsworth should have his own video game too.

It doesn't have the bells and whistles of the latest Madden offering, but if you're partial to old-school, hard-nosed football, it'll be right up your alley. It also helps if you still have an Atari 2600 laying around.

Video preview after the jump.

Two-point conversions are a staple of high school football, mostly because at that level the quarterback or running back are more reliable options than the kicker.

So it's not altogether noteworthy that Central High School went for two after scoring a touchdown. What separates this particular attempt from any other I've ever seeen is that quarterback Will Briscoe went with the behind-the-back pass into the end zone. And he completed it for the converstion.

Video evidence after the jump.

ESPN.com's Bill Simmons is currently on his book tour (more on that here), but on Monday, he and his Beverly Hills mansion were featured on "Mayne Street."

Kenny Mayne has made a career out of his deadpanned quirkiness. That, along with the fact that Simmons doesn't have much of an acting resume, figured to make for an uncomfortable four or five minutes that included me wincing as Simmons stumbled through his lines while Mayne got all the laughs.

Didn't happen. In fact, Simmons stole the episode. Jenn with two n's, the Doug Christie Clippers jersey, Stacy Keibler calling Mayne "Lenny", business associate Scott -- all hilarious. Well, to everybody but Mike Francesa, who was railing about Simmons' performance on his radio show.

(UPDATE: "Mayne Street" segment, Francesa's comments,and Simmons' response all after the jump.)

Chicago native and New York Knicks center Eddy Curry has 16 of his tattoos. After the jump, he talks about every one of them. Along the way he also offers advice to teenagers thinking of getting some ink ("A mom and dad tat" can help the parents come around), explains that the "Angels and Demons" tattoo on his calf took two six-hour sessions and was "excruciating ... I'm talking about pretty painful." (Duly noted.)

The best part: Curry's retelling of Bulls guard Anthony Roberson's tat.

That and the video below.
