* Peanut Butter Boy now has competition for the weirdest (and nakedest) fan at Georgia Bulldog basketball games: "We, at Georgia, now have crazy fan number 2. Whenever the other team goes to the free-throw line we have Speedo Guy, He is in nothing but a speedo and a swim cap. As soon as the player is about to shoot, everybody in the section sits down, and Speedo Guy starts dancing. This has been going on for a couple games, and has been quite successful. The other team has never made both of their shots, always missing at least one if not both of them. Attached is a photo of Speedo Guy, and a link to the Facebook Fan page. There are also videos of him on the page." Education is important, kids.
* Lindsey Vonn is already writing her future about Tiger Woods. "When a member of her Vonn-tourage tells her that Woods gave a few friends hugs after ending his statement, she cracks, "They're like, 'Yeah, you're awesome, you go have that sex.' " The room breaks into a laugh." Better than Bobby Moynihan. [Time]
* Your bi-annual "Olympic athletes get free condoms because they love to have sex with each other all the time" article was written by "Hat Guy" this year. Sleep on that imagery. [MSNBC]
* Stephen Strasburg lifts right arm, moves it forward rapidly, Nationals fans swoon. [Nationals Enquirer]
