Richard Sherman's Dad Won't Retire from Being a Garbage Man, Just Because His Son Is Making Some Money
The father of Seattle cornerback RICHARD SHERMAN is a GARBAGE MAN in L.A. And even though he doesn't like his job, he has no desire to quit just to live off his son. He says, quote, "Why would I mess up my own retirement? Why should my son have to foot everything?"
In a new interview, Kevin explains, quote, "People say, 'Let your son take care of you.' Yeah, but I've got a few years left until I retire. Why would I mess up my own retirement? Why should my son have to foot everything?
Richard Sherman Was Asked About Strippers . . . Plus Some Other Dumb Questions from the Super Bowl's Media Day
Super Bowl "Media Day" is always a big circus with a bunch of stupid questions. For example, Richard Sherman was asked how we should deal with young girls feeling like they need to be strippers . . . and Bronco Shaun Phillips was asked if he considered the Super Bowl a, quote, "must-win game."
For example, some woman had this question for RICHARD SHERMAN, the Michael Crabtree-hating cornerback from the Seattle Seahawks:
Quote: "As far as money is concerned, all you football guys is going into the strip clubs and throwing [money], raining down on these strippers . . . I think that's a bad example for our young ladies. How could we stop that? . . .
"Because I think it's a bad example that we [are] setting for our young girls that they need to be strippers. How do we deal with that issue?" (???)
Amazingly, Richard entertained the question . . . and gave a totally P.C., vanilla answer, like you'd hear in a Miss America pageant.
He said that he doesn't do the "make it rain" thing . . . and that we should empower young women. (Here's video.)
A GoDaddy Super Bowl Commercial Will Show a Real Woman Quitting Her Job Live on TV
A GoDaddy Super Bowl ad will have a woman quitting her job LIVE on TV. GoDaddy says, quote, "Her boss doesn't know! . . . After the commercial, a formal resignation letter will be delivered, and she'll give her two-week notice."
There are no further details about this anonymous woman . . . but according to a teaser for the ad, quote, "She's a real person with a real dream of starting her very own business." (Here's video.)
GoDaddy's other Super Bowl spot has already been released. It shows Danica Patrick as one of many bodybuilders seeking a spray tan from a GoDaddy-using business owner. (Here's video.)
An Advance Look at Even More Super Bowl Commercials
1. In Jaguar's newly-released ad, BEN KINGSLEY, MARK STRONG, and TOM HIDDLESTON join forces to explain why British people make better VILLAINS.
It starts with the line: Quote, "Have you ever noticed how in Hollywood movies all the villains are played by Brits? Maybe we just sound right . . . we're more focused, more precise . . . [and] a stiff upper lip is key." (Here's the video.)
2. There's an ad for Chobani Yogurt, where a bear ransacks a small town convenience store looking for the yogurt. It's sort of strange. (Here's video.)
3. Volkswagen has a commercial with this concept: Every time a Volkswagen vehicle hits 100,000 miles, a German engineer "gets his wings."
It shows wings sprouting from engineers' backs . . . and some of the guys float around the factory like angels in lab coats. (Here's video. The shot of the two engineers comparing the size of their wings while at the urinals is good.)
And Now, Some Software Says the Seahawks Will Win the Super Bowl
"Madden NFL" may have predicted that the Denver Broncos win the Super Bowl . . . but some computer software called the "Predictalator" thinks the Seahawks will take it. Oh, and someone who played the game on "Tecmo Super Bowl" had the Broncos winning . . . in overtime . . . on a SAFETY.
Mike Ditka Says an Outdoor, Cold-Weather Super Bowl Is "Stupid"
The NFL took a risk this year by having an outdoor, cold-weather Super Bowl . . . and former coach MIKE DITKA doesn't like it. He says, quote, "The weather's going to be a problem. They made a big mistake. The game shouldn't be there. I mean, it's stupid."

The Blind Leading the Blind: Billy Ray Cyrus Thinks He Knows How to Help Justin Bieber
BILLY RAY CYRUS thinks he knows what JUSTIN BIEBER needs. He says, quote, "I would just invite him to come down and chill out with me, maybe in Tennessee. Let's go up to the teepee, build a fire, step away and just, you know, maybe take a break for a little bit, just think about what's important. Get back to life . . . Build a fire, count the deer and the hawks and relax a little bit."
Meanwhile, USHER and Justin's manager returned to the U.S. from Panama . . . where they supposedly held an "intervention" for Justin. But they refused to speak to the paparazzi. (Here's video.)
