Artie made it to the game !!! Way to go big guy.

 

I just turned it on and heard he was on one of the teams. Way to go, Artie!

 

They said he might play quarterback. lol

 

He joked on his show last night that if you got him in a death pool this may be the day

 

lol

 

I'll tell you one thing - this show is full of hot chicks including Kate Upton.

Jesus Christ. Watching Artie stroke out is just a bonus.

 

It will be shown on Sunday @ 4pm on the Comcast SportsNet channel(CSN)

 

Is Artie even there? Haven't seen one shot of him.

Plenty of Maria, though - roar!

 

Good for Artie (and Howie's bro David Arquette). You know there is way too much media coverage of Super Bowl week when there's a pre-game show for this event.

 

I'm watching it now..started at 1pm but I DVR'd it...Artie is HUGE, I haven't made it to the actual start of gameplay yet but if there's going to be a wardrobe malfunction, it's gonna be Artie..http://www.dawgsaloon.com/images/smilies/headinhand.gif

 

artie needs to give it up.

 

Greatest sports moment ever. Coach Cam Newton benches Joe Montana for Artie at QB, Artie quickly throws a bullet to TO for a first down, then his 2nd pass is intercepted! HA..

 

,,,,,,,,,,,,

 

video???

 

The first 2 interviewed ...artie asked for subutex and a bigger shirt..

 

lol
Sounds great.

 

Artie's two plays in the game.

 

The thrill of Artie...and the Lange of defeat...

Artie almost got TO killed!
Was that it for Lange?

I thought he was gonna blurt out the n-word ...
