Sandra Bullock Should Take Up Weightlifting
Sandra Bullock had some trouble opening the envelope for Best Editing last night, and perhaps she might avoid such embarrassing circumstances in the future if she starts a weightlifting regimen. After all, she's already got the liftface down pat....

50 Cent's Attempt To Kiss Erin Andrews Was One For The Ages
In a sports moment rivaled only by Joe Namath's come-ons to Suzy Kolber, rapper 50 Cent—inexplicably making the infield rounds at the Daytona 500—took Fox's Erin Andrews to the Candy Shop of love, though it appears EA wasn't digging it so much. Before the race even started, we've had a massive wre...

Crash At NASCAR Nationwide Race At Daytona Leaves Kyle Larson's Car Torn In Half By Fence, Spectators Injured By Debris [UPDATING]
Tony Stewart won today's DRIVE4COPD 300 at Daytona, but all anyone will remember about the race is how it ended for another driver, Kyle Larson. A massive wreck at the checkered flag sent Larson's car through the catch fence, sending debris and even the car's engine itself hurtling toward spectat...

Bill Polian, Television Personality, Found Himself Surprised To Be On TV Yesterday
Veteran NFL executive Bill Polian has found new life in ESPN's arms as a pro football analyst, and he's part of the Bristol diaspora that's found its way to Indianapolis for the pro football combine that gets underway tomorrow. I don't know if it's possible to suffer jetlag without changing time z...

Rachel Nichols Tips Her Glass To A New Career With Turner
Rachel Nichols made her first appearance with TNT last night as the ESPN evacuee worked the floor for the devastatingly boring Spurs-Clippers game....

Cheerleader Makes Ridiculous Half-Court Stunt Shot
Time after time, a video of some unbelievable sports stunt goes viral only for us all to discover it was a hoax perpetuated by some marketer executing a viral ad campaign. That might be the case here, but we're pretty sure this is from halftime of tonight's William Carey game at home against Aubur...

Bulls Fans Roared With Approval When They Realized LeBron James Was Injured By A Hard Foul
Midway through the final stanza of tonight's Heat-Bulls matchup, Chicago hadn't shown much bite. Down 16 and lacking much motivation at all, Chicago brought United Center fans to their feet, finally, when Nate Robinson chased down LeBron James and stopped the Heat star from making an easy transiti...

Luis Suárez's Free-Kick Goal To Put Liverpool Up 3-1 Was Absolutely World Class
Look, Luis Suárez is kind of a dick. He was banned for racism, he's a notorious diver, and he's arrogant....

ESPN Urges Facebook Users To Celebrate Black History Month, With Predictable Results
We don't know why ESPN is posting a plea on Facebook for the celebration of Black History Month. Black History Month is, after all, nearly 75% over. (Maybe ESPN was consumed with celebrating Michael Jordan's birthday.) Also curious is ESPN's use of American sport's most notoriously racist franchise...

The Lakers Set Their Pregame Jerry Buss Tribute To The Song "Good Riddance"
The Lakers crushed Boston last night 113-99 in a game preceded by a memorial tribute to late owner Jerry Buss—complete with moment of silence, speech from Kobe Bryant, and slideshow set to moving music....

The Middle Finger Is A Universal Language
Bayern Munich's 2012-13 season has been a testament to the efficiency for which Germany is known across the globe: stingy defense, making the most of scoring opportunities, and avoiding flash. That strategy has put them well in command of the Bundesliga, and has them a very quiet top contender to w...

ESPN Announcers Dress As Abraham Lincoln, George Washington, And Ben Franklin To Celebrate President's Day. Wait, Ben Franklin?
We're all for ESPN's talent going the extra mile to spice up a broadcast, especially when it's a less-than-thrilling midweek Rutgers-Villanova matchup. So here's LaPhonso Ellis and Adam Amin getting into the holiday spirit and dressing up like their favorite presidents last night: Lincoln for Ellis...

As Charl Schwartzel Lined Up His Birdie Attempt At 17, A Couple In The Gallery Got Fingerbang-y
While the 2011 Masters remains South African golfer Charl Schwartzel's sole PGA Tour win, he hasn't exactly faded to obscurity like many other recent one-and-done major winners. Indeed, Schwartzel found himself a stroke away from a playoff at this weekend's Northern Trust Open in California, a mis...

Adrien Broner TKOs Gavin Rees, Retains WBC Lightweight Belt, And This One Punch Tells The Fight's Story
Adrien Broner, the supposedly brash and careless but actually cheerful and confident lightweight champ, dispatched Gavin Rees last night in Atlantic City to improve his undefeated record to 26-0. It wasn't the cakewalk some were expecting, though it would eventually come to an end by TKO in the fif...

Futility: A 2013 Slam Dunk Contest Supercut
It's no secret the NBA's Slam Dunk Contest has sucked for years. With a lack of actual All-Stars competing in what is supposedly part of the league's All-Star Weekend, only spectacular performances from the NBA's lesser-known players could save it from being a complete disaster. No such performanc...
