defending the shield 

Origin is from ESPN's Pardon the Interrupton

Wilbon makes fun of Kornheiser's "NFL, right or wrong" defense of league policy, no matter how absurd it may be.

1) to blindly defend a rule, decision, or product, soley based on the fact that you're in love with it
"Don't say anything about how shitty AT&T's cell phones are. Bob's a former employee, and he'll bore you to death, defending the shield"

"Someone brought up Mike Vick, then Pat jumped in, and started defending the shield. He must be Roger Goodell's cousin"

The shinobi law of numbers 

The fighting capacity of the individual ninja is inversely proportionate to the number of similarly dressed shinobi present. Other wise known as the inverse law of ninjas.
The shinobi law of numbers says that all except one ninja will be cannon fodder, and the last one remaining will utterly wtfpwn everything else around him.

The Shitty Dollar Trick

The Shitty Dollar Trick occurs when an individual smears fecal matter (in this case, human fecal matter) on one side of a dollar bill. This dollar bill is then places on the ground, shitty-side down. An unsuspecting passer-by then picks up the shitty dollar and learns the definition of an unpleasant surprise. Distasteful? Probably.
