Joker Phillips continues social media hijinks
Members of the Florida Gators coaching staff are continuing with their ridiculous tweets in an attempt to lure recruits to Gainesville. All of them are accompanied with the hashtag, #comeplayforthejoker. We’ve seen Heath Ledger and Jack Nicholsen’s Joker, we’ve seen a Kentucky Derby race horse, and even Harry Potter. Now we have the Jokers band. Sigh: From what we understand...

Florida's Joker Phillips strikes again
This may never get old, we hope. Florida assistant coach Joker Phillips got our week started with yet another fun little Photoshop job, or perhaps it was an MS Paint job for all we know. This time Phillips takes us in to space to try and recruit wide receivers to come play for him. #Gators are leaders, not followers. #comeplaywrforthejoker twitter.com/jokerphillips/…...
Dolphins select kicker Caleb Sturgis, Carpenter could see boot soon
Coming off a year in which he was anything but sure, Dolphins kicker Dan Carpenter is set to count $2.7 against the cap in 2013. On Saturday the team selected kicker Caleb Sturgis out of Florida with the 166th overall pick in the NFL draft.
Sturgis was the first kicker selected in the draft ahead of Dustin Hopkins who later was selected by the Bills with pick 177.

Joker Phillips continues his Internet dominance, this time with Pac-Man (photo)
New Florida Gators wide receivers coach Joker Phillips appears to have gotten the knack for grabbing the attention of fans and potential recruits with his brilliant yet bizarre forays into the use of social media. In late March, Phillips played upon his nickname with a creepy tweet featuring a Photoshop of Heath Ledger’s portrayal of Joker with the hashtag “#ComePlayWRforTheJoker”...

Tim Tebow is now an Ohio State fan
The Florida Gators legend recently admitted that with his former coach Urban Meyer at the helm, he has developed into a "pretty big fan" of the Ohio State Buckeyes.
This Florida Gator fan got a back tattoo that looks like a feminine body part
We all make mistakes in life and this Florida Gator themed back tattoo will probably be one of them. It’s meant to look like Gator scales bursting through the skin but instead it kind of looks like a certain feminine part that I’d prefer not to mention by name. I’m sure you guys (and girls) can figure this one out on your own.
The idea of getting Gator scales actually seems...
