Jessica Sanchez, of WKMG in Orlando, is our new local news hero.

This Photo Of Two Male 49ers Fans Making Out Is Awesome
So, it took me a whole week to stumble upon this pic, which appeared on page 48 of last week's Sports Illustrated.

A Reminder That The NFL Doesn't Test For The PED Ray Lewis Says He's Never Tested Positive For

How Nerlens Noel Won The Kentucky-Ole Miss Game With Two Fearless Blocks
Superstar freshman Nerlens Noel swatted away 12 shots during last night's Kentucky-Ole Miss game while scoring just two points on 0-2 shooting from the field and 2-8 from the free-throw line.

The Hater's Guide To Ray Lewis
It’s not exactly daring to hate Ray Lewis. Facebook data show that most people are rooting for the 49ers to win the Super Bowl, and I’m sure “FUCK RAY LEWIS” has a lot to do with that.

French Magazine Reports That Qatar Bribed Its Way To The 2022 World Cup
This is not new; from the moment Qatar was named the 2022 World Cup hosts, allegations have been made that FIFA committee members had accepted millions of dollars in bribes to make it happen.

WCBA Finals Game Ends With Referees Being Beaten By Fans
Game 1 of the Women's Chinese Basketball Association championship was yesterday, an event not worth taking note of but for the fact that a bunch of angry fans stormed the court and tried to beat the shit out of the referees at the end of the game.

The Lakers improved their record to 20-25 and avoided what would have been a soul-crushing loss when they held off a late New Orleans surge to beat the Hornets 111-106.
