Acrobatic Rays Fan Does Header Onto The Field, But Gets The Foul Ball
Pro tip: If you're going to reach down onto the field of play to scoop up a foul ball, make sure that you have everything on your person securely stowed, so that when you fall over the railing like a boob and everyone gets a good laugh at your bumbling imbalance, it's not also because everything in ...

This Randomly Awesome Manifesto Might Be The Horse_ebooks Of Sports
Reddit user hyxurial posted this nonsensical yet somehow strangely compelling manifesto late last night and though it has since been removed, it lives on in my RSS reader and deserves a moment to be appreciated.

The Los Angeles Galaxy Was Extremely Happy To Visit The White House
There's a lot going in this photo, taken today during the LA Galaxy's obligatory champion's visit to the White House. (Well, not everyone finds it necessary.) As usual, Obama looks happier than anyone else, although a beaming Bruce Arena seems up to the challenge....

Azerbaijan's Stinky Olympic Wrestling Team Is Sponsored By Febreze
It kind of makes sense for a group of sweaty, smelly wrestlers to partner up with a product that stakes its business model on eliminating odors.
