data-mm-id=”_zms6c67t1″>Mad Dog Unleashed's annual Super Bowl trivia contest is usually a nice, fun event providing sports radio listeners who have a tremendous amount of knowledge about history an outlet instead of having them cornering uninterested LIRR riders. But this year it's been rocked with scandal. The particulars are a bit unclear to non-listeners yet they don't really matter. Because Chris Russo noticed something untoward happening and laid down the law yesterday as only he can. Here’s radio Hall of Famer @MadDogUnleashed completely losing his mind (and name dropping some guy named Trainer) after someone misrepresented themselves during his Super Bowl trivia contest today. Absolute gold from start to finish. pic.twitter.com/zSxDCiMV3e— Jimmy Traina (@JimmyTraina) February 3, 2023"This is not right," he said. "This is not right to do this. Pretend you're somebody else. Cell phones, it's a joke. You're getting out of the spirit. This is supposed to be fun. You win a trip, you know what, what a miracle. That's what this is supposed to be about. Give people a chance. Maybe do a little work. Not to beat Bill Zimmerman and Chris Russo. Nonsense. I'm going to show you. You are out. You are not winning this trip. You're finished."And he was just getting started. "You call up like that and you misrepresent yourself, you do that to Eddie Erickson, you got him sweating and worried, you gotta get the legal department … you think the legal, with the stock price in the freaking toilet, you think the legal department wants to deal with this nonsense?"Do not mess with this man. He welcomes a fight. He is winning. More people are trying to hire him right now than you can shake a stick at. His fifth son isn't doing anything in particular and could be called into help. New York Times poltical reporter Michael Schmidt was recently a guest and he could really pull some strings. Have some goddamn respect for the rules. Play the game the right way, Jesus. This is surely a tough scene for the schemer who tried to game the system. One imagines Russo is something of a hero to him. You hate to see it on one hand. The other hand, it is hilarious.

It’s Thanksgiving weekend and the NFC South picture is about as clear as it was in Week 1. Well, at least we know Carolina’s not winning it.
That “magic eye” picture of a division will start to come into focus following Week 12, with the Atlanta Falcons playing host to the New Orleans Saints this Sunday.
The NFL odds for this game aren’t helping with the uncertainty, with the spread jumping the fence in the first few days of action and eventually settling at a market consensus of Atlanta -1.
I dig into that tight spread as well as the Over/Under total for this NFC South showdown and give my best NFL picks for the Saints vs. Falcons on November 26.

George Kittle lost a lot of people’s money after making just two catches in the NFC title game. Regardless, he played nearly every snap on offense and his Super Bowl odds opened at a nine-week low.
With the indoor track boosting passing and efficiency combined with an officiating crew that throws fewer flags, Kittle is in line to have a bigger role this week. Even if the volume isn’t there, a big play or two is very probable for the tight end who led his position in yards per catch.
After taking a look at George Kittle odds, these are my favorite Super Bowl picks surrounding the San Francisco tight end come tonight.

March is already upon us, meaning the football season is getting towards the business end for many players – especially those in Europe.
With the World Cup edging ever closer, form is going to become more crucial as players hope to nail down a place in their respective national team squads.
Of course, there are still plenty of teams yet to confirm their participation in Qatar, so some cannot take qualification for granted.
But that won t stop certain individuals from dreaming about getting themselves into contention and ultimately playing a starring role on the big stage.
Back in November, Stats Perform began their one-year countdown to the biggest show in football by identifying 11 uncapped players who could potentially break into their respective nati…
Everton attacker Kevin Mirallas said it would be unfair if Adnan Januzaj was picked by Belgium for the 2014 FIFA World Cup.
Manchester United starlet Januzaj, 19, declared his allegiances to the European nation despite also being eligible for Kosovo, Albania and Serbia among others.
Mirallas, a 43-time Belgium international, is pleased the teenager chose his country, but said he should not be selected for Brazil 2014.
There was a lot of pressure on him to make his mind up, and it is good for Belgium that he has chosen us, because he is a good player, Mirallas said.
But I don t think he should go to Brazil. It would not be fair to leave out another good player for someone who does not know the others and has not played a lot for his club in recent months.

Harry Kane insists full focus remains on securing England s first international trophy since 1966 as he prepares to do battle with Spain s Dani Olmo for the Golden Boot in the Euro 2024 final.
England face Spain in the tournament s showpiece game on Sunday in Berlin having beaten the Netherlands in the semi-finals thanks to Ollie Watkins late strike.
Kane levelled the scores in Dortmund from the penalty spot, netting his third goal of the competition and putting him out on his own as the all-time top scorer in knockout games at the European Championships (six).
He now has more knockout stage goals in major tournaments than any other European player (nine), overtaking Gerd Muller, Miroslav Klose, Antoine Griezmann, and Kylian Mbappe (all eight).

Barcelona are interested in signing Sofyan Amrabat from Fiorentina in the summer of 2023, . The report has claimed that former La Liga and UEFA Champions League winners Barcelona wanted to sign Amrabat in the January transfer window, but they could not agree on a deal with Serie A outfit Fiorentina.
The Blaugrana remain keen on Amrabat and will make a move again for the Morocco international midfielder at the end of the season. Fiorentina will ask for between €35 million and €40 million in transfer fees for the 26-year-old midfielder, who played for Morocco at the 2022 Qatar World Cup.
Amrabat has made 14 starts and four substitute appearances in Serie A for Fiorentina so far this season. The midfielder has also played five times in the UEFA Europa Conference League…
Giorgio Chiellini feels Juventus have improved in the two years since their Champions League final defeat, but he remains wary of the threat holders Real Madrid pose.
Juve were beaten 3-1 by Barcelona in the 2015 showpiece, with Chiellini missing out through injury as his side were outclassed in Berlin.
However, the Bianconeri knocked Barca out at the quarter-final stage of this season s competition and the experienced centre-back is optimistic of their chances in Cardiff, despite Madrid s class.
Our start to the match will be crucial, Chiellini told a news conference. We have to be organised – that s essential in a one-off game and it gives you the best chance of reading the play.
We meet a team that have won this trophy twice in the last three year…
Former captain Faye White says the lack of media attention after England’s run to the European Championship final in 2009 was “soul destroying”.
The 45-year-old, who skippered the Lionesses for their 6-2 defeat to Germany in the final in Helsinki, was present on Monday to unveil a message of support laid out beneath the flight path out of Heathrow Airport for Sarina Wiegman’s side before they fly to Australia for the Women’s World Cup on Wednesday.
The message, large enough to be visible to the England party as their plane ascends over west London, reads “Lionesses, you’re our pride,” and is tagged with thousands of smaller messages of support submitted by fans across the country.
The move, which has been organised by one of the Football Associati…
If your NFL survivor pool were a video game, Week 12 would be that one crazy-difficult level that you just keep dying on.
Think World 8-3 from the 8-bit Mario Bros. with the god damn turtles that throw the hammers. How many times did you Gronk spike that Nintendo controller into your living room floor out of frustration?
You may be swapping out the video game buttons for the remote control when it comes to your NFL Week 12 survivor pool picks. There are no layups on the board, with only one team favored by a touchdown (and that’s Dallas on Thanksgiving).
And, depending on how your pool is shaped, the three-game holiday slate may be a week of its own (like in the Circa Survivor Pool in Las Vegas). That format limits your Thanksgiv…
