Is It OK To Stop Watching Sports?
I was on a flight yesterday and half the people aboard were asleep. And this wasn't some nighttime flight, either. This was at like, 10 in the morning. How the fuck can so many people sleep so well on airplanes? On every flight I board, there are 60 motherfuckers who are passed out with their necks ...
Here's A Bored Baseball Fan Playing With A Rubik's Cube

Hey, It's Jose Valverde In A Hot Dog Jersey
This is the picture of the season. This jersey should be in Cooperstown. When you walk into the Hall of Fame—No! The Library of Congress—you should be greeted by a life-sized bronze sculpture of Jose Valverde and his hot dog jersey, because it's a goddamned national treasure. ...
Here's Some Random College Player Dunking On Shawn Marion
The Mavs' veteran forward recently made an appearance at the Chi-League Pro-Am in Chicago, where he was greeted warmly by Alfonzo McKinnie, a 6-8 rising junior forward at UW-Green Bay. McKinnie's generous hospitality even brought a smile to Marion's face....
