How awesome are Green Bay Packers fans? Awesome enough to have their own reality show on cable. TBS announced at its Upfront in New York this week that it is developing an unscripted program featuring cheeseheads that will -- fittingly -- be called "Cheeseheads."

Word actually emerged last December that Packers fans were auditioning for a reality pilot, and now we have more clarity on that. And it's pretty legit. Helping develop the series is Jason Carbone, who according to CNBC has produced reality programs such as The Real World and The Bachelor.

One of the better moments captured by NFL Films this last fall was Chiefs safety Eric Berry's skittish reaction to seeing a horse on the field. As you can see below, Berry's full attention is on the horse (named Warpaint) and not the game itself.

Starting in 2015, the U.S. Open will become an all-cable affair. CBS' association with the event dating back to 1968 will end in 2014. ESPN announced the contract earlier today and SBJ's John Ourand reports that the deal is worth than $770 million for 11 years, meaning that the U.S. Open will remain on the ESPN family of networks well into the next decade.

Bill O'Brien was focused on the future when the NCAA handed down harsh sanctions against his new football program last summer. He was short and upset after he suffered his first coaching loss in Penn State's season opener. On Wednesday he was livid and noticeably annoyed as a result of a Sports Illustrated story he referred to as a character assassination against his boss, Penn State Athletics Director David Joyner.

On Tuesday Sports Illustrated teased an investigative story asking the question "Do athletics still have too much power at Penn State?" The report authored by senior writer David Epstein digs in to Penn State's handling of medical care available to football players by suggesting changes in the school's medical staffing were perplexing to many others tied to the Penn State football family and that the changes made result in inadequate and sometimes flawed medical treatment.

O'Brien vehemently disagrees with that concept, and he let everyone know that on Wednesday.

First it was the First Take fartgate saga, now via Guyism comes this random workout video featuring... a guy sitting on the john in the background.  Yes it is hilarious that a workout video includes a guy peacefully sitting on the toilet taking care of his business, but let's imagine all the steps that would lead to "Burnout Challenge - HiitLean #11" including this.  Filming, editing, post-production, and publishing all miraculously allowed this to be a gift to the internet masses.

Lost in all the hilarity of this video - we should also salute the fella bold and brave enough to leave the door to the throne open while a workout video was being filmed. That's a man who just doesn't care and is proud of it.  Well done.

On one of my daily sweeps through the outer regions of the internet universe, I stumbled upon this clip from this week's Bruins-Leafs Game 7.  We've seen the game winning goal call from Bruins announcer/crazy person Jack Edwards and here now is the Finnish call of the moment.  I don't know what it is about Finnish hockey announcers, but I've thoroughly enjoyed every announcing clip I've ever seen from Finland and this is no exception.  Of course, I have no idea what is being said in this clip, but I can imagine it being something similar to stabbing nordic dragons with daggers made of fire.

On Tuesday during a second round match at the Italian Open in Rome (known as the Internazionali BNL d'Italia to the natives), Viktor Troicki of Serbia was blitzed by Ernest Gulbis in the first set, 6-1 and about to lose the first game of the second set when a shot by Troicki was ruled out by the chair umpire.

That's when Troicki decided to go bonkers on the court. He argued with umpire Cedric Mourier. They both checked the mark on the clay court. Of course they disagreed where the mark was. Mourier thought it was out. Troicki thought it was in. It was at that point, Troicki played to the sparse crowd by yelling and pointing skyward, "There is no chance it’s out. From the space you can see it’s there!"

Mourier held steadfast to his argument and never lost his cool. Troicki threatened to retire and was subsequently warned. He also dragged a cameraman to show the disputed spot. It was an entertaining four minutes that was all captured on video.

Troicki went on to lose the match 6-1, 6-1, but not before entertaining the crowd with the tennis meltdown of 2013 to date. We'll keep on eye on Troicki for the rest of the season for future blowups.

At their upfront on Wednesday, TBS and TNT announced that they would be offering free live streaming on their websites this summer. The streaming would be authentication-based (just like WatchESPN or March Madness On Demand), and the MLB package on TBS and NBA package on TNT are reportedly included in the streaming.

ESPN basketball aficionados Bill Simmons and Jalen Rose made an appearance on Tuesday's Tosh.0 season finale in order to provide deadpan analysis regarding a legendary Nerf basketball dunker. 

The segment, hosted by Comedy Central joker Daniel Tosh and named 30 For 30.0, was obviously a parody. And Simmons and Rose were cast perfectly...
