Remember Chris Brown? Sure you do. He's the supremely confident Texans fan who decided to get an irreversible reminder of a jarring lapse in judgment. As we settle in for the second half of the AFC Championship game, we turn to the Houston Press and are reminded just how jarring a lapse it was. More »

Nick Hill has played all of 15 games for Michigan State, mostly as a kick returner. He's feeling good about the team and confident in his job security, because now there's no way he can ever transfer. [It's Always Sunny in Detroit] More »

Johnson, the Bills wide receiver who was benched over the weekend, did this not so long ago. He still wound up with 1007 yards on the year. And now he tweeted a photo of the dude's tattoo. Everything about this is so dispiriting I don't know whom I should call classless. [@StevieJohnson13, via SportsGrid] More »

And the dude who did came into a tattoo parlor with that rendering and actually asked to have it done. Afterward, even the artist who put it there felt compelled to ask the man if he had lost a bet. He hadn't. [Larry Brown Sports] More »

Add another to the ever-expanding world of premature Texas sports tattoos. I would like to think this fellow got his ink done with two outs in the ninth in game 6. The best part is the Mavs trophy tattoo next to it—almost (almost) makes me wish the Heat had come back to win that one. [Big League Stew] More »

Man, Chris Brown, you are a brave, stupid man. Not only did you get a Texans logo tattooed on your arm, framed by the words "Super Bowl" XVLI Champion. But you shaded the area behind the roman numerals so you won't be able to fix it in the future. Why would you do this, Chris? More »

Well, this is a relief. It turns out that Rex Ryan is not any more on the verge of a mental breakdown than he usually is. In fact, he just really believes in himself. With all that belief, he probably has his own slew of business tats under that windbreaker! And for the record, this is one area in which he will always be beating Bill Belichick. More »

News broke last week that Kevin Durant, the humble 22-year-old who also happens to be a professional basketball player, is extremely tatted up. The Thunder blog over at The Oklahoman has some specifics on Durant's ink, which — if you could not already tell from the careful placement — he covers up in the interest of his public image. He is, after all, playing in a state that only legalized tattoos in 2006: More »

"When Dirk lifted the Larry O'Brien and the MVP trophy it was the greatest sports moment of my life. I sports-cried, called a high school friend that does tattoos and have been on a Dallas Mavericks championship high ever since. Now I realize that I will be sitting on a big German man's face for the rest of my life." [Dallas Observer] More »

Andrei Kirilenko got a back tattoo. As far as we can tell, although we don't play Earthdawn ourselves, it is an image of a warrior riding a dragon beast flying creature with strangely-textured giant wings. Let's call it the Russian God of Bad Ideas. More »
