Man loses Super Bowl access over Facebook post

The Super Bowl is one of the strictest sporting events in the world when it comes to security before, during, and after the game. An Arizona man named Russ Knight found that out the hard way when he excitedly posted a picture to Facebook of him with the credential that gave him access to this year's big game. Knight had been hired to work as assistant frequency coordinator for the game, but not long after posting his photo, the NFL called to tell him it was no longer valid and he was no longer going to the game. As part of the fine print with the pass, the NFL prohibits posting photos of it, as they could be used to create duplicates. So just like that, Knight lost his chance to attend one of greatest sporting events on the planet. It's got to sting, but Knight understands and said he's got no excuse.
Any parent will tell you that taking care of their children is always easier with a little support, either from your partner or family and friends. Chicago Bears quarterback Jay Cutler knows the feeling, and wife Kristin Cavallari has the evidence to prove it. Cavallari recently left town for a few days and Cutler stayed behind to keep an eye on their two sons, two-year-old Jax and eight-month-old Camden. Shortly after Cavallari departed, Cutler was already sending an amusing series of semi-frantic texts, which Cavallari then posted to Instagram.
What does it take to be a dominant player in the NFL? J.J. Watt and Odell Beckham, Jr., certainly have skill sets that are prime examples, but a big part of their dominance comes from freakish athletic ability. How deep is their chest of skills? Both were kicking field goals with relative ease during Pro Bowl practices and warm-ups, and Beckham even hit one from 46 yards out. Not too shabby.
