Trippy, the beloved dog of New England Patriot coach, Bill Belichick, is in a deep depression following the Super Bowl.

The Belichick family is deeply concerned about their dog, Trippy (named after a sideline technique that Belichick developed).

A Super Bowl spycam caught Trippy on the sideline in the final seconds of the Super Bowl in Indianapolis on Sunday.

Since then Trippy has refused to eat and only laps at his Tom Brady Bowl twice or three times a day.

“We are VERY concerned,” said Belichick’s girlfriend, Linda Holliday.  ”Bill is depressed about the game, but Trippy is despondent.”

Trippy is reportedly always by Belichick’s side during Patriot practices.  Some say Trippy always looks depressed, but “that’s just the Belichick look,” said a friend of a Patriot cornerback.

Gisele Bundchen, Tom Brady’s wife, weighed in on Trippy’s depression.  ”Who cares about the damn dog?!  Can the dog catch a football?!  If he can, he should replace the rotten receivers Tommy has to throw to.”

Trippy reportedly bit Gisele on the ankle last summer. “They don’t like each other,” said a source close to the Patriots.

Patriots fans say that they saw one of the Giants’ players kick Trippy on the sideline, but WWN can not confirm that rumor.

We do wish Trippy a quick return to… joy.

LOS ANGELES –  Tim Tebow was reluctant at first due to his injuries, but sources say he has finally agreed to appear on DWTS.

The hype surrounded Tim Tebow is not about to die down anytime soon.   The former Florida Gators star and Denver Bronco quarterback Tim Tebow has reportedly agreed to appear on the next season of Dancing With he Stars, according to sources close to the network.

Tebow, who helped the Denver Broncos to a surprising spot in the AFC playoffs and an even more stunning win over perennial postseason bully Pittsburgh in the wild-card round, will appear on ABC’s hit show “Dancing With The Stars”  according to one of the regulars, who has been begging him to do so for a week.

Karina Smirnoff, who celebrated her 34th birthday recently, is excited and said that having Tebow on the show was a belated birthday gift for her.

Tebow and the Broncos were ousted from the playoffs in a lopsided loss at New England, but Smirnoff, who won last season’s DWTS with J.R. Martinez, is still interested in doing the Tango with Tebow.

“He can run, jump, pass, throw touchdowns,” she said. “All that is missing is to see if he has the dance skills. That would make him an all around athlete and someone that I would love to dance with on the show.”

The complete DWTS cast will be announced in the spring… but you can be sure God will  be watching.

FOXBOROUGH, MA –  Quarterback Tom Brady will play his heart out for the Patriots, but he is on God’s side and wants Tebow to win.

Tom Brady spoke exclusively to WWN tonight.  He has been preparing for the big playoff game against the Denver Broncos tonight, but is torn about who he wants to win the game.

“Of course, I want the Patriots to win, but there are more important things than football and Tim Tebow represents more than just the game.  I am Christian as well and as a Christian, I am praying for Tim Tebow to win and prove to the world the power of Our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.”

Brady said that he will be attending a prayer circle with Tebow and a number of Broncos (and Patriot) players before the game.  The players will be praying for a safe, spirited game and… a Broncos win.

Brady told WWN, “I’ve had my time in the sun.  It’s Tebow’s time.  He’s a great player, a great quarterback and a great Christian.  He deserves a victory… But, we’ll make a game of it.”  Brady winked at WWN staff as he said this.

Many of the Patriots players – and coach Bill Belicheck – are upset with Brady’s actions.  ”He’s completely lost it,” sad Chad Ochocinco.   ”I was like, ‘Is Tom OK?’ You know, he’s intense, but this was like a whole new thing, man. I think he’s trying to get in good with God or something.  It’s bullsh*t.”

Tebow had no comment, but when asked about Brady the lights flicked in the room and the air smelled like honeysuckle rose.  Some reporters heard Gregorian chants in the distance.

Will Tom lead the Patriots to victory?  Hmmm….

VATICAN CITY – Pope Benedict XVI announced that he will attend the Denver Broncos playoff game against the New England Patriots.  

In an announcement that shocked Christians around the world, the Pope reportedly will travel to Foxborough, MA on Saturday to watch Tim Tebow play football.  A WWN source inside the Vatican said, “The Pope feels that Tim Tebow may be an angel sent to this earth and he wants to meet him in person  - and bless him.”

This will be the first time in the history of the Catholic Church that a sitting Pope will attend a major U.S. sporting event.  ”Pope Benedict feels that  humans are living through a very difficult time and that the Lord will send signs of peace, love and understanding to help us through these times.  The Pope believes that Tim Tebow may be a light sent from God, here to help heal the world.”

The New England  Patriots will not be intimidated by the Pope’s presence at the game.  ”Look, it’s a football game,” a source close to Patriots coach Bill Belichick said.  ”They have Tebow and the  Pope.  We have Tom Brady.   And it’s the playoffs… I think our chances are better in the game.”

Not so fast, Bill.  ”The Pope does not plan to attend his first American football game and watch the team he is rooting for lose,” said an American Cardinal that will be traveling with the Pope.  ”The Pope is predicting a 42-0 victory for the Denver Broncos.  He’s guaranteeing it.”

Tim Tebow has been called the “Mile High Messiah” for his miracles on the football field and his “wise and holy” attitude off the football.   Many across the country have started “tebowing” – kneeling on the ground with head bowed.  The Pope has even started tebowing…

Many believers in Vatican City feel that Tebow  - even though he is not Catholic – might be named the next Pope.   Pope Timothy?  Pope Tebow?  Sounds about right to many in Rome.

God is on Tebow’s side… Will anyone bet against Denver in the playoff game?

DENVER – God is rooting for Tebow and the Broncos.  And the signs were everywhere during the Broncos-Steelers playoff game.

The proof is in… God is on Tebow’s side.  And He wants the Broncos to win it all.

Tim Tebow connected with Demaryius Thomas on an electrifying 80-yard touchdown pass on the first play of overtime and the Broncos defeated the stunned Steelers 29-23 in the AFC wild-card game on Sunday. Wild doesn’t begin to describe it. The play took 11 seconds and was the quickest ending to an overtime in NFL history.

Thomas hauled in a high play-action pass at the Denver 38, stiff-armed Ike Taylor and then outraced Ryan Mundy to the end zone. Tebow, who looked as startled as everyone else, headed for his own end zone and knelt on one knee — a gesture known far and wide these days as Tebowing. Then he pounded a fist in triumph and took a victory lap.

“When I saw him scoring, first of all, I just thought, `Thank you, Lord,”‘ Tebow said. “Then, I was running pretty fast, chasing him — Like I can catch up to D.T! Then I just jumped into the stands, first time I’ve done that. That was fun. Then, got on a knee and thanked the Lord again and tried to celebrate with my teammates and the fans.”

Tebow threw for 316 yards.   One of the most popular Bible verses is John 3:16.  Here is the famous quote from that bible verse:

“For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life.”

Coincidence?   Maybe?   But what about these other facts about the game last night.

1)  OFFICIATING CREW.  One of the refs for last night’s game was Julian Mapp (#52). Julian’s nickname since grade school?  Moses.

2)  WATER.  Players for the Broncos confirmed that during halftime, the water in one of the tubs on the sidelines had changed into wine!

3)  50. Due to injuries the Broncos only had 50 players in uniform last night. In the Bible, the word “pentecost” means fifty and The Holy Spirit was given fifty days after Jesus’ resurrection.  Fifty is also the year of jubilee.

4)  52. The Steelers only had 52 players in uniform last night. In  the Bible sll the names of satan are divisible by thirteen. Israel rebelled against God thirteen times in the wilderness.  13 x 4 = 52 = The Steelers.

5)  BRONCOS.  “Broncos” are mentioned in some translations of the bible.  The meaning of a Bronco in the Bible:   power, strength, conquest, war.

6) TEBOWING.  This is when Tim Tebow gets down on one knee and prays after a touchdown.  It is also reminiscent of  Auguste Rodin’s sculputre, “The Thinker”.  The Thinker was originally intended to depict Dante at the Gates of Hell, making a choice between Heaven and Hell.

7) UFOS.  There were over two dozen fans who spotted “UFOs” over Mile High Stadium last night.  The U.N. Panel on Extraterrestrials confirmed to WWN that they were NOT alien spaceships.  Many religious leaders believe they were, in fact,… angels.

Will God be with the Broncos and Tebow when they play the Patriots at Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, Massachusetts?  What do you think?

NEW YORK –  The NFL announced last night that, starting in 2012, the league will allow women to play.

NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell made the announcement to a group of reporters outside the NFL headquarters in New York City early Wednesday evening. He said he hoped the decision to include female players would convey the NFL’s more “feminine” and “progressive” sides.

“Times are changing,” said Goodell, “the military is about to allow women into combat.   If women are going to be fighting on the battlefield, how can we stop them from participating in football.  It’s not fair  The NFL is open to all players now – regardless of gender.”

According to the new rule book, each NFL team must be composed of equal parts male and female players. Of those female players, 75 percent must be active at all times, and every active female player must touch the football at least once during a game.

Feminists are applauding Goodell and the NFL.  They have long accused the National Football League of being sexist and bigoted. Fairness on the Field, a women’s rights group in Chicago who once sued the NFL for discrimination, has been lobbying the league to change its gender policies for decades. They are counting the NFL’s co-ed rule as a major victory.

“We couldn’t be more ecstatic,” said Kate Hohner, the group’s president. “The National Football league was once considered a bastion of masculinity. That women can now participate in it is a huge step for gender equality.”

According to sources inside the NFL, the so called “co-ed rule” will take effect at the beginning of the 2012 season. That means that the upcoming Super Bowl between the Green Bay Packers and Pittsburgh Steelers will be the last NFL Championship played by all-male teams.

The league will hold an NFL combine for women in April, said one NFL spokesman.

Deloris Green, a 30-year-old weightlifter from Marietta, Georgia, is planning to tryout as a walk-on running back for the Atlanta Falcons.

“I’m gonna get out there and show those guys what a real lady can do,” said Green, who clocks an impressive 4.50 on the 40-yard dash and can squat press 350 lbs. “If they could draft a sissy-boy like Tom Brady into the league, there’s no reason they wouldn’t pick a woman like me.”

Despite its overwhelming acceptance amongst women, the NFL’s decision to go co-ed does not sit well with some the league’s male fans. These NFL purists feel that football is inarguably a man’s sport.

“This is absolutely ridiculous,” said Jon Bovary, an irate football fan and male chauvinist from Detroit. “Once they let women play in the NFL, they’re going to have to let everyone play – children, animals, midgets, inanimate objects. Where will they draw the line?”

Overall, the new co-ed rule has received positive reactions from the league’s corporate sponsors.

In support of the rule change, the Reebok Corporation has partnered with the National Football League to launch their “Beauty and Grace Factor,” a line of pads and jerseys made exclusively for female football players.

Riddell, the equipment company that provides helmets and supportive undergarments to the NFL, will also produce a line of jockstraps and athletic cups designed for women.

According to a poll taken by National Football League, over 88 percent of active players say they approve of new rule change. However, they did raise some relevant concerns.

“Will we have to share our locker rooms with the female players?” said Steelers quarterback, Ben Rothlisberger. “Because if we do, that’s totally cool with me!”

This will be the last all-male Super Bowl… so enjoy it!

RAMSEY, NJ – Don Bosco High School, the nation’s perennial #1 h.s. football team, has agreed to join the NCAA’s Big East conference.

This month there were major changes in NCAA Division 1 conference alignments for football.

The Big East recently lost Syracuse and Pittsburgh to the ACC and are scrambling to find teams to add to their conference to make them more competitive and entertaining.  So Big East executives made a radical move, and decided to invite powerhouse Don Bosco Preparatory High School to their conference.  Don Bosco has accepted the invitation.

Don Bosco High School has the nation’s dominant high school football program. They absolutely crush every opponent they play – from all across the country.   They thrashed the consensus #4 team in the country – St. Edward of Lakewood, Ohio and just demolished Bergen Catholic High School for the New Jersey State Championship and the National Title.

Bosco has won 45 games in a row and clearly are the dominant high school program in the country.

So far this year, they have defeated nationally ranked teams from Mission Viejo, CA and Manatee, FL along with their toughest opponent – local rival Bergen Catholic.  But sadly (for BC), Bosco embarrassed them at MetLife Stadium on December 3rd.

The talent level on both Don Bosco’s football and basketball team is of such a high caliber that they can easily compete with most NCAA Division 1 schools.  The Big East wanted to shake things up in the NCAA and inviting Don Bosco to join the conference certainly has caused quite a firestorm.

“It’s an unusual move, but I think it’s something that will make the Big East much more  competitive.  Right now, Bosco can compete with most Division 1 schools in the country and having them in the Big East will  be a huge plus for  us,” said Big East Conference Director, Gary Flink.  “It’s going to be exiting watching the The Ironmen tackle the Big East.”

Don Bosco has 20-25 Division 1 caliber players on their current roster including: Darius Hamilton, Leonte Caroo, Yuri Wright, Elijah Shumate, Frank Nutile,  Mike Yankovich, Jabrill Peppers, Mike D’Alessandro, Michael Strizak, John Wilkins, Frank Failace, and Jared Goldenberg – among others.

ESPN’s top college football analyst, Kirk Hirbstreit, feels that Don Bosco, coached by the legendary Greg Toal, has the playmakers, the skill players and the depth to defeat UConn, University of South Florida, Rutgers and the rest of the Big East every year.

“I think within 3 years of being in the Big East, Bosco will be playing for a BCS championship,” said Kirk Herbstreit.  “Maybe sooner.”

Congress is looking into making changes to NCAA football, perhaps adding a playoff system.   A number of Congressmen were told about Bosco and many feel that adding Don Bosco Preparatory High School to the Big East – will meet with easy Congressional approval.

Go Bosco!

PHILADELPHIA – Michael Vick bought a new dog – a beagle!

NFL star and current starting quarterback for the Philadelphia Eagles, Michael Vick, made headlines three years ago when he was convicted of dogfighting.  Well,  now he’s bought a new dog – it’s a beagle for the Eagle!

As part of Vick’s dogfighting sentence, a judge banned Vick from owning a dog ever again.  But there are three reasons the judged changes his mind and rescinded the ban:  1)  Though injured, Vick is doingwell as an NFL quarterback, thrilling NFL fans with his play; 2) Vick has won over the hearts and minds of the citizens of The City of Brotherly Love;  and 3) Vick’s daughters really want a dog.   “Ah, come on, we can’t deny the girls a dog,” said Judge Herman Wilton of  West Virginia.

After the judge announced his decision, Vick immediately ent out and bought a cute, little beagle.  He named the dog, HutHut.

Here they are together on the gridiron:

Vick thinks that having HutHut as a pet is a big step in his rehabilitation process.

“Having a pet in my household, shows people that I care for animals.”

William Tacatoo, president of the Humane Society of the Pennsylvania, says he has been around Vick a good deal over the last two years and feels confident Vick would be a great pet owner.  “He loves dogs, he really does.”

DENVER – Sources say Denver Broncos quarterback, Tim Tebow, decided to convert to Judaism.

Thursday night, Tim Tebow sported his new haircut and yarmulke around the Denver Broncos Invesco Field at Mile High stadium.  There’s an internet sensation about Tebow’s haircut because some thought Tebow’s team mates had cut his hair as part of a hazing ritual, but Tebow spoke to reporters last night and said, “I gave myself this haircut.  I’ve decided to convert to Judaism and my new yarmulke fits better on a bald spot. It was hard to keep on with my hair.”

Taylor Mays, a safety for the Cincinnati Bengals, who is also Jewish, flew to Denver to offer his assistance in Tebow’s conversion. Several prominent Jewish celebrities also flew in to meet with Tebow:  Natalie Portman, Zac Efron, Amanda Bynes, Evan Rachel Wood, Jake Gyllenhaal, and Scarlett Johansson.  Will Ferrell flew in just… to be there.  Here is Tebow bowing before Scarlett Johansson:

The decision has shocked many of Tebow’s fans and many Christians. Tim Tebow, a Heisman trophy winner,  has been a devout Christian his whole life.  Earlier this year, Tebow was told to “shut the f–k up” by fellow NFL recruits after making a request for prayer before taking the Wonderlic standardized test.  He has now angered some of his Denver Bronco teammates by reading the Torah aloud in the locker room.  Tebow, a brilliant and passionate student of Judaism, can already read and speak Hebrew.

Some fans, who just bought a popular new Tebow shirt, were’ not happy:

Tebow has also been blasting the traditional Jewish song, Hava Nagila, in the locker room.  But instead of being annoyed by this, the Broncos have grown to love the song and often dance in circles before practice.  Tebow keeps asking them to put him in a chair and hoist him in the air but… he’s a rookie.  Maybe next year.

When leaving the practice field today, Tebow was asked to comment on his decision, but he simply said, “Shalom.”

ESPN’s Mel Kiper, also Jewish,  has been critical of Tebow in the past, but now thinks that Tebow will be the greatest quarterback to ever walk the earth.

Tim Tebow is busy trying to pick a Jewish name. He’s leaning toward, Kfir Tuvia Malachi.

A public ceremony announcing Tebow’s final conversion will be held at Invesco Field in March.  The event is already sold out.

STATE COLLEGE, PA -  Sources say that the NCAA will soon give Penn State the “death penalty” for football – canceling their 2012 season.

The scandal surrounding Pennsylvania State University has many people calling for the school’s illustrious football program to receive the NCAA’s dreaded death penalty.  And it looks like they may get their wish.

The NCAA “death penalty,” was given out once before to Southern Methodist University in the 1980s doesn’t directly kill off a program, but it does choke its ability to thrive, if not survive by withholding scholarships, banning post season appearances and the like.

The former Penn State defensive coordinator, Jerry Sandusky, has been charged with multiple counts of child molestation, following reports that he engaged in homosexual behavior with boys who were as young as 10 years old. That charge led to the downfall of the university’s president and revered head coach, Joe Paterno.

Typically, there is no mechanism within the NCAA governing body to punish Penn State regarding the Sandusky scandal. This is a law enforcement matter only. The NCAA, however,  has reviewed the matter and feel that a number of their own rules were broken.
