Anchor Loses His Shit After Naming His Colleague "Penis" McNab
Kyle Keefe of Altitude TV had a real tough time getting through this segment, after a failed reference to Avalanche broadcaster Peter McNab. Stick with the whole video—there's nothing funnier than a prolonged giggle fit on live television....
Westboro Baptist Will Picket The Final Four
Westboro Baptist, that group of awful people with colorful signs who are really concerned about who you're having sex with, have announced on the "Picket Schedule" section of their website that they'll be heading to Atlanta for next weekend's Final Four. ...
Keith Smart Saved A Little Boy's Life
Kings head coach Keith Smart showed off the catlike reflexes that helped him hit The Shot 26 years ago, lunging for an errant pass that had a bead on a towheaded youngster in the front row. "Earn this," he told the boy with his dying breath. "Earn it."...
This Is Not Manny Ramirez
After being unable to find a job literally anywhere else, Manny Ramirez made his debut yesterday for the EDA Rhinos in Taiwan's top league. The fans were enthusiastic, and slightly confused....
The NCAA's Miami Investigation Didn't Actually Stop Using Unethical Methods When It Claimed It Did
The NCAA fucked up its investigation of Miami in oh so many ways. But the single largest fuck-up, the one that required a timeout in the case for an outside investigation of its practices, was the NCAA paying the lawyer of imprisoned booster Nevin Shapiro to help them gather evidence. The independen...
X-Pac Shares The Full Story Of His Torn Anus And Emergency Sphincteroplasty
On Monday we told you that Sean "X-Pac" Waltman had suffered a severe injury at an independent wrestling show over the weekend, ripping himself a new hole in a very sensitive spot. Now there's video of the injury, and Waltman walks fans through exactly what happened....
What The Hell: Jarome Iginla Traded To Penguins
We went to bed thinking Jarome Iginla was going to be a Bruin. Nearly every single rumor had the 17-year vet heading to Boston, and when Iginla was a healthy scratch for Calgary's late-night game, it seemed a fait accompli. The sun rises to find Iginla in black and gold, but without the Bruins' spok...
New Hampshire School District Bans Dodgeball As Part Of Anti-Bullying Campaign
The Windham, N.H., school board voted overwhelmingly to ban dodgeball and "nine other 'human target' activities" from its schools. Admittedly, it's impressive that New Hampshire came up with at least 10 sports that use children as human targets. But that's all a thing of the past, and it's not becau...
As Sacramentans And Seattleites Fight To The Death Over The Kings, The NBA Counts Its Money
Three weeks from tomorrow, the NBA Board of Governors will vote on whether the Kings will be sold to Chris Hansen, who would move them to Seattle, or to a Sacramento group committed to keeping the team in town. They're bidding against each other, and no matter who wins, both cities will lose....
Worried About The Sochi Weather, Russia Has Begun Hoarding Snow For The Olympics
With the Olympics serving, in a larger geopolitical sense, as a jingoistic opportunity to laugh at everything that goes wrong, host cities sure spend a lot of time and money on the one thing they can't actually control: the weather. China reportedly seeded clouds before the 2008 games, so they'd exp...
The Evolution Of Dirk Nowitzki's Beard
Sometime in late January, Dirk Nowitzki shaved. That would be the last time, at least until the disappointing Mavericks clawed their way back to a .500 record. Well, after last night's overtime victory against the Clippers, featuring a season-high 33 from Dirk, Dallas is 35-36. The beard? It is out ...
Mr. T Scored From Center Ice, And It Might've Been The Greatest Moment In Hockey History
For the second straight Blackhawks game, a Chicago-native celebrity tried his hand at the "Shoot the Puck" intermission contest. But while Monday brought a rambling, possibly drunk Jim Belushi, last night saw a no-nonsense Mr. T show the puck and the United Center who's still the boss....
Every Obituary Should Have A NASCAR Reference In The First Line
From the Northeast Mississippi Daily Journal:...
Manti Te'o's 40-Yard-Dash Was Slightly Better Than His Last 40-Yard-Dash
After an unimpressive time at the NFL combine, Manti Te'o gave the 40-yard-dash another shot at Notre Dame's pro day in South Bend. And true to his word, Te'o beat his old mark by about a tenth of a second. Fast? Faster, at least....
The LA Kings And LA Galaxy Have To Share A White House Visit
Nine months later, the Kings finally get their due as Stanley Cup champions. But they won't be alone. Obama's a busy man, and it's not like Washington's a hockey town. The Kings will share the stage with the MLS Cup champion Galaxy. ...
Shaun Rogers Had Half His Salary's Worth Of Jewelry Stolen
Giants DT Shaun Rogers used to make pretty good money. He got $20 million guaranteed from Cleveland just five years ago. But legal problems (stripper assault, gun at the airport) and health problems mean the 13-year-vet is playing for relative peanuts. Earlier this month, he re-signed with the Giant...
Swiss Hockey Player Won't Be Disciplined For Hit That Paralyzed Opponent
It's still disturbing to watch Ronny Keller go head-first into the boards, knowing he remains a paraplegic three weeks after the incident in a second-tier Swiss playoff game. But it's good and right that Stefan Schnyder, the player whose hit sent Keller flying, won't face a suspension, let alone cri...
Tennis Player Stung By Wasp Right On The Backside
Florida: it's a horrible place. When Lauren Davis met Alize Cornet in the Sony Open at Key Biscayne on Sunday, the temperature was in the 90s with a solid wall of humidity. Both players were failing by the second set, and both players left the court in wheelchairs after Cornet's 2-6, 6-3, 6-2 victor...
The Red Sox's Sellout Streak Is In Danger, So They're Lowering Beer Prices
For the first time in a few years, reason to cheer in Boston. Five-dollar beers! ...
