KFC PAYS TO PUT A DOUBLE DOWN ON YOUR ASS


Students on a Louisville, Ky. university campus serve as "human billboards, " advertising the KFC Double Down sandwich on the backsides of their sweat pants. To promote the now-famous bun-less sandwich, KFC is using the head-turning tactic to reach one of its key targets - college-age males and they get paid $500. Hey I will put a double down on my ass for that.

MEET ONE OF THE LARGEST FOOTBALL PLAYERS EVER


Meet Ole Miss walk-on Terrell Brown, who at 6-foot-11 and 390 pounds, is, according to The Clarion-Ledger, "almost too huge to play football." If the 6-11/390 measurements are accurate, Brown is without question the tallest football player I've ever heard of. He's also only a few donuts away from the mythical 400-pound mark, reportedly achieved by a handful of immobile heavyweights over the years – most notably Gilbert Brown, Leonard Davis and Terrence Cody. Please don't let him tackle me. I wonder how fast this guy is.
