Courtesy of my dude Connor, it's the video you've all been waiting for; Benny Feilhaber sings the hits of Jordin Sparks. You sir are no American Idol, but hey maybe that's a good thing because those kids all have nose-divish career trajectories. Where are Big Ruben, Clay Aiken, and that one kid with the Sideshow Bob haircut now?

Thank God for USA-Mexico on Wednesday night.
After last night's Super Bowl debacle (I'm a hurting Patriots fan right now), I needed something else to look forward to. Anything. Groundhog's Day had already passed.
