Noted great friend of media members Bill Belichick was uncharacteristically unwilling to share his innermost thoughts with the press following his team’s 28-13 AFC title game loss to the Ravens yesterday, and blew off CBS for a brief postgame interview. This led to an on-air rebuke from Shannon Sharpe – and it was richly deserved. See it after the jump.

Lost in the Harbaugh Bowl (ugh) and Ray Lewis swan song storylines surrounding the upcoming Niners-Ravens Super Bowl is that Terrell Suggs is still around, doing Terrell Suggs things. Like ripping the Patriots multiple times after beating them. Peak Sizzle form after the jump.

Hell of a busy Sunday in the sports world, so how about I do us all a favor and not waste much time on the intro? Cool? Cool. It’s all after the jump.

Noted anti-social media enthusiast Dan Shaughnessy of the Boston Globe is back at it again, folks. In a column posted yesterday about the Patriots’ divisional round matchup with the Houston Texans, he pretty much goes to town on the Texans for being an awful football team. Arian Foster disagrees, so he made a section of the article his Twitter avatar.

Through multiple “league sources,” including ESPN’s Adam Schefter, Shutdown Corner has compiled a list of players who satisfied financial incentive clauses of their contracts for making the Pro Bowl. Many of the usual suspects are there, including Champ Bailey, Julius Peppers and Jason Pierre-Paul, and dollar amounts range from $50,000-$300,000. But so is one special teamer, and he’s a good deal richer.

Hey, you wanna hear a funny Christmas joke about Santa and alcohol and COCAINE? Well, a Patriots linebacker has got you covered! Laugh a hearty laugh, after the jump.
