The Funniest 7 Seconds Of Casey The Bullykiller's Big Media Coming-Out Party
Casey Heynes, the Australian schoolboy whose bully beatdown so entertained us last week, went on the local version of A Current Affair. But we much prefer the sitdown interview with Ritchard, the bully, who shows no remorse — until prompted by his offscreen mother or lawyer....
Spanish Announcer Goes Loco After Amazing Final 30 Seconds To Euroleague Basketball Game
We could attempt to recap the final 30 seconds of this Euroleague game between Real Madrid FC and Unicaja Malaga on Saturday, but we wouldn't really know where to begin. It's much better, we think, to listen to this Spanish sportscaster's telling of the epic finish, even if you can't understand hi...
Vote For The Most Deserving Madden Cover Athlete, Or Just Stir Up Shit
Madden NFL 12 is the most important video game of all time, topping previous title-holder Madden 11, which usurped the title from Madden 10, etc, etc. Same game, a couple new features, and most notably, a new cover athlete.

The VCU Pep Band Makes Its Director Gyrate Uncontrollably And Sometimes Strip
This is Ryan Kopacsi, director of the very-popular VCU pep band and also, apparently, a male model. He's known around the university and amongst pep band circles for his overenthusiastic dancing and for often removing his clothing during games. At VCU, this is apparently called "TTS," or Time To S...
Watch A Single Hill Completely Wreck A Steady Stream Of Bikers
BUCS (the British Universities and Colleges Sport) held their championships last week, and our favorite sport was the cross country mountain biking.

Tar Heels Advance, Face Aggressive-Looking Fan En Route To Locker Room
The North Carolina Tar Heels defeated the Washington Huskies with some help from officials who didn't bother double-checking the shot clock before giving the latter their final shot to conceivably tie the game.
