Contrary to what you would think, the NFL Network’s lineup of shows is pretty damn boring. And until Thursday and Saturday night games start airing later this season there is very little to titillate our remote sensor. That was until our Manroom reporters happened across the Cheerleader Playoffs.

Apparently, cheerleaders from around the NFL have been competing in “Road Rules” like challenges… women get kicked off… eventually crowning… blah blah blah. We all know why people would watch this. I hope the Redskins’ Cheerleaders haven’t already been eliminated.

In case you’re still interested, the show airs Thursday nights at 9:30 p.m. ET.

From the “I hope you saw this coming” department, ESPN/Disney announced today that the ESPN Mobile service will be ending on December 31st. However, they expect the content to be picked up by a larger carrier in the near future.

Mobile ESPN was sort of like if ESPN tried to launch their own cable company and only offered sports programming. I’m as big a sports fan as the next guy, but seriously, do you really need a phone that only gets sports updates? You can get that on your regular phone. Oh well, nice try anyway.

We noticed the homepage was lacking in bottle opener content, so we found this gem. For just $27 and available in 4 colors (who cares) this refrigerator magnet can open your beer! Our only concern is whether its strong enough to open a malt liquor bottle while holding down our kid’s C+ math quiz.

Bo Jackson is the undisputed god of video game football due to his unstoppable character in Nintendo’s Tecmo Bowl, but his reign of simulated terror may come to an end with Madden 2007’s Reggie Bush.

There have been challengers in the past to Jackson’s title, including Madden 2004’s Michael Vick, but digital Reggie Bush (DRB) is the most well-rounded video game football star I have ever controlled. The kid’s unstoppable. I played a game against a friend and DRB pretty much broke every single game NFL record imaginable, he has a 50/50 shot at breaking a kickoff for a TD and never tires.

If the real Reggie could play half as well as his digital counterpart, my fantasy team would be doing a lot better.

Speaking of Madden, did anyone else notice that the cover jinx has once again occurred with Shawn Alexander down for 2-4 weeks with a foot injury. How can John Madden have so much control over the NFL season?

Men’s Health has compiled a list of 18 tricks that you can do to cure various bodily issues like nose bleeds, scratchy throats, the urge to urinate and much more. When I was a kid, my dad taught me another one:

If you get something in your eye, hold closed the affected eye and blow through your opposite nostril. This sounds absolutely insane, but it actually works. Thanks Pop!

Science has finally solved the most problematic issue facing man: remembering your wedding anniversary. “24 hours before your special day, the Hot Spot on the interior surface of your Remember Ring will warm to 120º F for approximately 10 seconds, and continue to warm up every hour, on the hour, all day long!”

I have to wonder if 120º F might be a bit excessive. Apparently, water at 120º F can burn the skin in 5 minutes. Was the Remember Ring created to actually punish us for forgetting stuff?

This isn’t your grandma’s “Better Homes and Gardens” home of the year award. Electronic House (as you can guess by the name) requires their homes to be seriously tricked out. The awards honor home electronic systems ranging in price from $25,000 to $250,000+ in pretty much every room of the house (What! no bathrooms?).

This year’s winning home features an electronic “butler” that is accessible anywhere in the home and a biometric house-wide audio system that recognizes you and plays music tailored to your tastes without pushing a button or turning a knob. If your house ever shows up on this you know you’ve done something right in life.

NBC knows how to get people to watch a game show–figure out a way to integrate 28 models in skimpy dresses into the show. Fortunately, for us, they have also plastered these women all over their website for our viewing pleasure.

So who’s the hottest Deal or No Deal model? Our money’s on Jenelle, but who’s counting?

A recent study by the ultra-liberal Reason Foundation found that “Drinkers earn 10 to 14 percent more money at their jobs than nondrinkers and men who drink socially, visiting a bar at least once a month, bring home an additional 7 percent in pay.” The 20-page report details that drinking men earn 10 percent more than abstainers and ladies earn 14 percent more.

So the next time you want to hang out at the bar with your buddies, just tell your significant other that you’re enhancing your career.
