Idiot Father Shakes His Baby Around While Diving To Catch A Home Run
In fairness to this dad, on the list of things that you should not do while holding a baby, "diving into a scrum on the stadium floor for a home run ball" trails other modern parenting pratfalls, like using a chainsaw, or being thrown into the sun. Still, this seems ill-considered. ...

Adam Schefter reports that former Miami offensive tackle Seantrel Henderson flunked a drug test at the scouting combine, testing positive for marijuana.

Facebook Is Dead
I don't use Facebook much anymore, because anyone with a brain knows that Facebook is terrible.
