DeShawn Stevenson Sounded Vaguely Sober At The Mavericks Parade Today
DeShawn's first public appearance since his first public intoxication arrest on Tuesday night was perfect: he stepped to his interview with a Soulja Boy song as backdrop (his partner in the forgettable DeShawn/Soulja vs. LeBron/Hova beef), threw up a three-goggles sign, smiled dazedly out at the c...
Dick Vitale Is Not The Dick Vitale That's Been Slandering Superintendent Nelson In <em>The Conway Daily Sun</em>

At about the three-minute mark in this video, the band of drunks redirects its impotent rage onto a man (described in the YouTube video as a security guard) who tries to keep them from smashing the department store windows.

Brett Keisel's Neptunian Beard Will Be Forever Commemorated On This Idiot's Forearm
Johnny Menesini, a caterer from Pittsburgh, had Brett Keisel's bearded mug (which is no longer so bearded) tattooed on his forearm recently. We must say that it looks very nice — despite being a giant face on an elbow crease....
The Most Boring Moments From Jimmer Fredette's Fascinatingly Boring YouTube Channel
So, yes, having these clips compiled does imply that I sat through nearly all 40 videos on the "Follow Jimmer" YouTube channel, and yes, I am slightly ashamed of that implication (did I get Jimmered?), but I'll stand by the belief that it was totally worth it. Jimmer Fredette & Family have embarke...
Breaking: Bryce Harper Does Something That's Pretty Cool And Won't Offend Anyone

Serena's Comeback Tally: One Win, One Smashed Racket, And Almost A Broken Nail
Serena Williams knocked off Tsvetana Pironkova in the first round at the Eastbourne Tennis Tournament today, 1-6, 6-3, 6-4.

How I Tuned The Heartstrings For NBC Olympics Coverage
Ronda Rousey, in August of 2008, was 21 years old. Her home was Riverside County, California.
