I'm the first person to admit that my sports knowledge is infinitely less than my food knowledge. Hell, I didn't even know that Terrell Owens was a football player much less a Dallas Cowboy, until I read an article that said he received his signing bonus in the form of a giant tub of popcorn. The mammoth container took two people to carry.

If you're reading this and saying it can't possibly be true, you're right. T.O.'s actual signing bonus is a whopping $12.9 million. MJD the sports blogger who wrote the piece envisions a hilarious alternate scenario in which T.O. would be paid in $12.9 million worth of Dale and Thomas Popcorn. That works out to 1,003,331 million gallons of popcorn.

Yesterday, we saw a blue and orange cocktail to help get the Bears' fans in the mood to support their team before the Super Bowl kicks off. For Colts fans, a blue and white cocktail is needed and, thanks to About.com's super bowl cocktail menu, we can recommend a great one: the Dreamy Blues Cocktail.

This cocktail, despite its blue and white color scheme, is chocolate orange flavored and has layers of white creme de cacao and blue curaçao. It can be made in a martini glass or served as a shot, but in both cases the drink should be carefully layered with the curaçao floated gently on top of the creme de cacao. I find that pouring the "floater" liqueur into a tilted spoon helps create even layers, as you can guide it across the surface of the drink that way.

Full recipe after the jump:

Yogurt is a great base for dips because it is so versatile, like a blank canvas. You can add it to avocados for an ultra-creamy guacamole, use it tone down hot salsas and use it on its own, as I have done here, to showcase other flavors.

Like many yogurt dips, this one is incredibly easy to make. It has only a few ingredients and requires little more than a stir to bring it together, yet it as at least as satisfying as those "ranch-style" dips that often turn up at parties. It goes well with potato chips, pita chips, crackers and veggies.

Traveling on SuperBowl Sunday? There are few worse places to be than in an airplane at 35,000-ft when you would much rather be at home, at someone else's home or at the local pub watching the fame with friends, family and lots of food. If you must fly, you might want to think about using JetBlue. The discount airline offers live DIRECTV, so you'll be able to see the game, and you won't even have to miss out on beer and munchies because the airline will be giving out free beer and cocktails to travelers during game-time flights. They will also offer plenty of snacks (no hot wings, unfortunately), such as Doritos Munchies Mix, Terra Blues Potato Chips, Nuts Jumbo Cashew Halves and Nabisco 100 Calorie Pack crackers.

The selection doesn't compare to what you'll find at most SuperBowl parties, but you have to given them credit for trying. After all, they could do a lot worse than free beer, snacks and football!

It looks like Ohio State isn't the only college football team that's going to get their own brand of cereal this season. The University of Florida Gators are getting a line of Frosted Flakes Corn Cereal, which are a limited edition item to commemorate 100 years of Gator football. The cereals will be available at 250 Publix markets throughout the state.

Some fans are buying it for the box, which could be something of a collectors' item to a die-hard fan, but others are simply buying the cereal because they like frosted flakes for breakfast. No matter what the reason behind the purchases, Publix says that the cereals are selling quickly and that they expect to see sales climb throughout the season or until the stocks, since it was produced in a limited run, run out.

With football season starting up, you might want a few new ideas for snack foods because even though we all know that you're not supposed to be chowing down on munchies in front of the TV, it's probably going to happen when you have friends over and are watching your college football on ESPN. Wing It!: Delectable Recipes for Everyone's Favorite Bar Snack is a book devoted entirely to chicken wings - with an eye on snacking, of course. The recipes range from those you're probably familiar with already, like Classic Buffalo Wings, and ones that use some international flavors, such as Grilled Coconut Wings with Thai Peanut Dipping Sauce. Some of the recipes are battered in some way, while others are not, and a few make use of an alternative coating, like the Mexican-Style Tortilla Chicken Wings, which use tortilla chips to create a crispy coating. There are quite a few barbecued wings with delicious-sounding sauces, as well. Speaking of sauces, there are also a number of recipes for dips, so you won't have to be stuck with bottle bleu cheese or ranch on the side every time you serve the wings.

First of all you need a crockpot, a large T.V. at the very least, and probably cable. Where I live one of the Networks comes in unacceptably snowy via antenna. For quick, easy dishes check these crock recipes at Out of the Frying Pan. Use your imagination and plenty of cheese to personalize things. Food coloring, shaped or sculptured dipping foods, etc. Here are a few more tips:

• Watch with friends; if you drink, make it light beer. You'll get plenty of carbs and calories from all the snacks.
• Don't start throwing food at your friends until the third quarter. Don't throw cheese in any form, hors d'oeuvres dipped in cheese, or the crockpot.

A 20-year old Celtic supporter in Scotland is very devoted to his team and has taken his devotion far beyond the standards set be even the most die-hard tailgaters. He has vowed to eat only foods that are in the club's colors for the 2006/2007 season, meaning that he has eaten a diet of salad, green vegetables and white meat (mostly chicken and a little fish) since July.

Clearly, the young man, Scott Campbell, is lucky that there are actually quite a few foods that come in green and white. Had the team colors been blue and silver, he would have been wise to come up with another way to express his loyalty.

Does anyone else have any other dedication-through-food stories, or is Campbell the only one who has taken it this far?

When the school year starts back up, sports fans can look foward to a new season of college football. In addition to cheering on their team at games, fans of the Ohio State Buckeyes will get a new way to show their spirit: Buckeye HerOes cereal, the breakfast cereal with OSU current and former players on the box. The honey-nut-toasted-oat cereal sounds exactly like similar to a well-known national brand, so it probably won't take much for fans to hand over the $3.49 at Kroger stores for a box. OSU is not the first university to do a cereal promotion, but their 75,000 box run of product is the largest to-date and the manufacturer says that more will be produced if the initial fun sells out, with a production run once or twice a year.

OSU's next branded product is expected to be single-serving milk cartons.
