We previously mentioned that the fungal meningitis outbreak is far from over… and sadly, that's been true.

The outbreak has now spread to 19 states and has made 347 people sick!

Rhode Island became the 19th state to report that the outbreak has affected someone.

This is getting ridiculous!

We've said it before but still, we're so thankful that it's not contagious.

Massachusetts health officials are moving to revoke the license of the New England Compounding Center who's contaminated medications started this whole outbreak.

We think something fundamental needs to change in the compounding pharmacy industry so that something like this never happens again.

Check out the video (above) to hear how the FDA is responding to this crisis.

Why in the world would the Jets actually do this?

Tim Tebow might become a running back for the NY team this Sunday against the New England Patriots to help the running backs that could be without the injured Joe McKnight and Bilal Powell.

Inspired, but ultimately stupid. Nothing against Tebow (he still hands out plenty of Tebowners), but we're pretty sure they didn't hire him to get hurt immediately.

Here's what Rex Ryan said:

Ooh la la!

Tom Brady has a new haircut and, like everything else on the quarterback's body, we like it!

The New England Patriots' star player sported a cropped cut in El Lay on Friday afternoon while filming what MIGHT be a new Funny or Die video (we soooo hope that it is!).

We haven't seen Brady look this classy in a long time since he sported longer locks all season long, but we're digging his new do. What about U?

So after Tom Brady and the Patriots lost to the Giants at Sunday's Super Bowl, Gisele Bundchen spoke pretty harshly about the team's receivers, as she was overheard saying:

A LOT of eyes were watching last night's Super Bowl, featuring the New York Giants playing the New England Patriots. Not as many as last year, but still A LOT!

With a 47.8 rating/71 share, the game received third-highest Super Bowl overnight rating ever behind last year’s game and 1987′s Super Bowl XXI, which both earned earned a 47.9 rating.

The game may not have broken national records, but it did have the best ratings an NFL game in the Boston market has ever seen with 56.7 rating/81 share. In the New York area, the game was rated the second-highest overnight for an NFL game behind Super Bowl XXI with 49.7 rating/74 share.

Clearly, New England tuned in with big expectations but the Patriots didn't deliver. Who were U rooting for?

The season hasn't even started yet (if it even does), but the football community has already picked Tom Brady as 2011's best player.

In the last installment of NFL Network's Top 100 Players of 2011, a ten part series finishing on Sunday night, NFL players and coaches picked the New England Patriots' quarterback as this year's best player in the game.

Ravens linebacker Ray Lewis, who presented the segment, shared these kind words about Brady:

"He's not the biggest, he was never the strongest, he was never the fastest. So with that being said, all the intangibles a quarterback is supposed to have, they overlooked with him, because it was burning from the inside of him."

Congrats on the honor, Tom! We wish you the best of luck in the 2011-2012 season and are crossing our fingers there is actually a 2011-2012 season for you to play in!

This picture has been floating around the internet, sparking the curiosity of some and the gag reflexes of others. In case you haven’t heard, it’s the McLobster sandwich — McDonald’s lobster concoction.

If you live in New England or east Canada you’ve grown up with this sandwich, but the rest of the country has been deprived of it’s… lobstery “goodness.”

The thought of eating lobster from McDonald’s is sort of terrifying! Keep that for yourself, New England!
