Gilbert Arenas Makes A Mockery Of Twitter

The Seedy Underbelly Of Sports Fan Art
There's a popular game going around the Internet, in which you search your favorite team on DeviantArt, the premier fan-created art site. Some results are pathetic, some are decent, but most are sanity-threatening. Let's go through the looking glass....
The BCS Has Its Day In Court Of Public Opinion
The BCS hired a new PR firm, and their first move was to create an official BCS Twitter. This is one case where interacting with the fans is a bad idea, and they are being torn apart. It's gruesome. [@insidethebcs]...

Hell Hath No Fury Like A League Two Side Fan Scorned
A Grimsby Town FC supporter unleashes a foulmouthed rant of epic proportions at his hapless team. Brits have long said American sports fans lack passion, but now I just think they all have Tourette's. [No Spain No Gain]...
University With Weight Requirements Probably Has Terrible Offensive Line
A Pennsylvania college has made BMI as important as GPA when it comes to graduating, and some soon-to-be degree-less fatties are raising a stink....

Your Early Games Open Thread
Some decent matchups today in Baltimore, New York and Green Bay. Please note the incredible accuracy of the TV distribution map, which correctly notes that Jacksonville won't be getting the Jaguars game. [The506]...
Ricky Williams - Battier Than You Realized
Williams credits his success and durability this season to a new type of alternative medicine. No, he doesn't mean weed, as we're all assuming. Ricky's "pranic healing" regimen is far stranger....
Cleveland's Economy Is Based On LeBron James
Cleveland has rejected a proposed 10-story mural of LeBron, because the Nike logo would constitute advertising. Instead, they'll keep the current 10-story mural of LeBron with a Nike logo. [Plain Dealer]...
Nate Robinson, Getting His Terrible Teams Mixed Up
As if the 85-point lead the YES Network spotted them wasn't enough, the Nets also received help from an unlikely source: Nate Robinson shooting at the wrong basket. (I only say "unlikely" because the shot actually went in.)...

Maurice Jones-Drew To Miss Fantasy Playoffs Because Of His Brilliant Play
Are you one of the 10,000 (ESPN) fantasy GMs who lost because MJD took a knee rather than score a touchdown? Well, so is he. But remember, he had 145 yards and a TD anyway, so quit bitching. [ESPN]...

Booted from his fraternity, Michael Hudec will finally have an organization on campus that cottons to his beliefs. That's right: the KKK is coming to Ole Miss....
The Last Time Russia Pushed Westward, It Didn't End Well
