Here's What All The NFL Logos Would Look Like If They Were Fat
The genius who brought you every NFL quarterback as his team's name and Peyton Manning's face in every NFL logo has struck again. This time, he's re-imagined the logo for each NFL team as a fatter version of itself. My favorite entry is the one for the Bears, obviously. Head over to Kissing Suzy Kol...
Jim Leyland Smokes Out A Winner
From those who consider "old-school" a derisive term, Jim Leyland tends to get a pass because he's just plain old.

Greg Oden Has "Slight Setback," Misses Practice With Knee Swelling
Welp. That didn't take long. Greg Oden only took part in his first five-on-five drill with the Heat on Monday, but he had to be held out of practice today because of swelling in his left knee. ESPN's Brian Windhorst calls it a "slight setback," but it still can't be good news for a guy whose knee tr...

Could Modern Medicine Have Saved Bo Jackson's Career?
I was too young to remember watching him play, but the unifying tone of wonderment emanating from anyone who saw Bo Jackson crack a 500-foot home run or bulldoze an obnoxious Brian Bosworth into traction has never washed with the plainness of the injury that ended his career. It doesn't make sense. ...
