That's How You Note An Achievement

Mark Cuban Is Suing Don Nelson For Knowing His Team
You know, it's possible that Mark Cuban isn't quite over his Mavericks' loss to the Warriors in the first round of the NBA Playoffs. How can we tell? Because he's actually suing Don Nelson for having "confidential information" and using it in the Warriors' victory. He's really doing this....

Yep: The Kobe Video Guys Are Dorks
This site claims to have pictures of the two guys responsible for that increasingly lame "Kobe Video Rant", smiling with Kobe during happier times.

Skip Bayless Would Absolutely Tap That
Because "ESPN First Take" is a revolutionary step in the world of sports programming, Skip Bayless and whoever the other person forced to sit across from him was were discussing who should win ... the ESPYs.
