The Jets-Bills Game, In One Flinching Sanchez And One Steamrolled Bison
Mark Sanchez is not a wide receiver. He is a quarterback, a celebrity, a franchise, a patron of the arts, a deviant, and a pitchman, but he's not a wide receiver.

Scenes From The Arizona Fall League: Lizards Go Down Easier With Mountain Dew
Baseball is boring. Being a pitcher is worse. Being a reliever on an Arizona Fall League team with a 20-man bullpen leaves you with so much free time, you're probably insane if you don't spend your afternoons swallowing geckos....

Damn Nature, You Majestic: Kayaker Gets A Visit From A Blue Whale

If You Ever Get Chased By A Wild Turkey, Run (And Also Keep The Camera Rolling Like This Brave Lady)
Duffy Kelly, a producer for News10 in Sacramento, ventured out into the suburban wild recently to see if—as a few of her neighbors had claimed—her local wild-ish turkeys attack.

Mets Fans Now Being Hunted Down Like Dogs, By Dogs
Flushing, as a neighborhood, has a decidedly unappealing name. But Citi Field isn't actually located in Flushing. Surrounded by a bay, two freeways and a park, the Mets share their parcel of land with the little-known, less-loved neighborhood of Willets Point. With a permanent population of one, Wil...

Brock Lesnar Blowing Away Prairie Dogs Has Very Little To Do With Michael Vick
You may have seen some whining and bitching when this video of Brock Lesnar taking out prairie dogs with what appears to be the BFG 9000 from Doom hit the web.

This is Turkish side Sivasspor posing with a restrained lamb before their friendly with FK Rad Belgrade.

Take Off Your Pants, Mess With The Bull, You Get The Horns
We don't want to live in a world where the San Fermin Festival goes off without us seeing a naked dude get absolutely wrecked by a confused, cornered half-ton of beef. Thankfully, those who ventured to Pamplona did so without their inhibitions, their fears, and sometimes their clothes....

Man Vs. Lion Goes Down Pretty Much How You'd Expect

Why Your Fans Are Weird: The Bunny Man Of Yankee Stadium
We've seen the Bunny Man at enough Yankee games over the years to know he's got season tickets, and the felt rabbit handpuppet is doing his thing 100 percent of the time.
