For Tony Romo, Fans Fumble Golf Etiquette

At Wimbledon, All The Living Cars Fall Faintly On The Dead
"We were told: 'Go and reverse between these gravestones.' I thought: 'This is very odd'. But we did it and went to Wimbledon." The £20 for parking in a cemetery is split between three charities. How wonderfully macabre. [Ananova]...
Photos With Bruno Put School On Defensive
The rise of club music, the fall of apartheid, Bruno looking all fabulous with some high school football players very powerful in their physique and the head of L.A. schools disciplining a principal and athletic director — coincidence or not?...
Coach K Defies The Reckless Rumormongering

The Plump, Svelte, Spirituelle And Statuesque Girls In Their Summer Dresses
Even in 1909, women-watching was the true appeal of a Princeton-Yale baseball game — especially for the venerable newspapermen who chronicled the "rattling good" game. [The Sexist]...
June: <i>Fin</i>.
We produce a lot of posts every month. Most of them disappear quickly. Some of them don't. Here are the 10 most popular posts from June, starting with No. 10....
13-Year-Old Commits To Lane Kiffin, Kind Of
The 13-year-old boy has enough to worry about. Committing to a college is not usually one of those preoccupations, unless you're really, really good — or the brother of an All-American who plays for Lane Kiffin. Or both!...
Don't Like Your Starting Pitcher? Sell Him On eBay
His value is estimated at $100,000, so for $.01 on a joke eBay auction, Suppan is a steal. Disclaimer: "No Harms was made to Brewers, Fans, Suppan, Hall and any other animal while making and publishing this add." [HRDerby]...
Leading By Example, One Headbutt At A Time
Youth baseball coaches choose from an array of options in the post-game handshake line. They can: shake hands (classy), fist-bump (terroristic), feign ignorance (juvenile) or headbutt the rival coach in the face in front of minors (aggravated assault). [Star-Ledger]...
Stephen Curry Had Don Nelson's Attention When These Haircuts Were En Vogue

The Lightning's Draft Pick Really Does Read The Articles
Q: What's the last book you read? Viktor Hedman: "I don't want to say. The last one was Jenna Jameson, How to Make Love Like a Porn Star." Delightfully tacky, yet literately unrefined. [JoeBoltsFan]...
He's Not A Coffeenerd, But Trent Green Loves His Kids And Niagara Falls

Ask J.C. Romero About Steroids At Your Own Peril
Fan asks Phillies for autographs. Phillies walk away. Fan makes a steroid-related crack to J.C. Romero. Romero curses fan, then says, who, me? Fan says, yes, you. Romero allegedly chokes fan. [St. Pete Times]...
Ricky Rubio Makes Jay Mariotti Cringe
For shame, "anyone who projects Rubio as a superstar based on wishful thinking, stereotyping and nostalgia." Also in this column: a Spanish quote left untranslated and a play on "rube" and "boob." Yes he did! [FanHouse]...
Hit Strip Club, Win Lap Dance
It's a good thing the Seattle Post-Intelligencer didn't completely shutter its operations when it stopped the presses, or else there would be only one story about the construction of a strip club by Safeco Field. And who said newspapers weren't egalitarian?...
Which Athlete Reminds You Of Mitt Romney? The Kandi Man, Of Course
"I feel like Romney's having the same problems as [Michael Olowokandi]. On paper, he looks great, but there's just something about him that doesn't seem to add up in the minds of voters." Like every other failed prospect. [TNR]...
