As you can tell from the video montage below, Channel 11 News Director Tom Murphy really seems to enjoy his job, whether he's making Michael Jordan comeback references, quoting the "great poet and philosopher Nelly," or shouting out to all his "people in Jerz." The northern Michigan anchor's highlight reel was posted on Reddit by a local fan, and his effervescent style has elicited a range of reactions from people who don't know if they love him for his sincere enjoyment of his work, or hate him for being an overgrown frat bro. We will say he does a decent Victor Cruz salsa impression—but what's up with his eyesight? Does he need glasses to doesn't he?? more ›

Yesterday's ticker tape parade for the Super Bowl XLVI Championship Giants was boisterous and loud.

I can’t believe they dropped the ball so many times"—the supermodel gets the "Super Brat" treatment on the Beantown tabloid, The Boston Herald. more ›

Senator Charles Schumer, everyone's favorite press conference convener and rainmaker, really loves NY State's beers, starting an "I Love NY Brew" campaign.

Now that the Giants have proven victorious, Shaheen will be buying NY beer for the whole Senate! more ›

An area Giants fan won some money after his beloved "G-men" won the Super Bowl yesterday, and his dignified celebration was captured on video and posted on YouTube.

But it's even LOLer when his wife appears to warn his kids not to post the video on YouTube. In response, the exultant winner orders his son to post it on "IRS YouTube." more ›
