The Ballad Of The Fake Dodgers Bear Mascot
The great thing about baseball is that even after 150 years, you can watch a game and see something you've never seen before. Last night was one of those games. The renegade fan dancing atop the Cardinals dugout may have been wearing a bear suit, but this was a unique instance of guerilla mascoting....
Yasiel Puig Flips Bat After Home Run—<i>Oh Shit, It's Staying In The Park</i>

The Washington Redskins, Rebranded: Your Best Submissions
99design's "Rebrand The Washington Redskins" contest ended this weekend, with the logo above (by user Mixaurus) winning the $499 prize. Apparently the polls were overrun with pro-Redskins trolls or graphic designers are really nit-picky (or both), because the second-highest-rated submission garnered...
Here Are The New Sky Bridges At Madison Square Garden
For the last three summers, Madison Square Garden has undergone massive renovations.

Nick Young Takes Video Selfie While Crashing His Toboggan
The Los Angeles Lakers' Chinese tobogganing trip is the gift that keeps on giving. First, it allowed us to laugh at Chris Kaman's account of the very real dangers that come with tobogganing down the Great Wall of China, and now it's given us an even greater gift: Nick Young filming himself as he los...
Small Town Turns On Girl Who Was Allegedly Raped By HS Football Player
Here's a depressing story that will bring back memories of the Steubenville rape case.

Here's An Awesome, Fan-Shot Video Of David Ortiz's Grand Slam
Big Papi essentially gave birth to this genre of videos with his work in the 2004 playoffs, and they are still one of the best things about October baseball.

Satchel: The Life And Times Of An American Legend
Satchel knew that, despite being the fastest, winningest pitcher alive, being black meant he never would get the attention he deserved. That was easy to see in the backwaters of the Negro Leagues but it remained true when he hit the Majors at age forty-two, with accusations flying that his signing w...

The Rare Instance Of A Happy Tony Romo: Your Cowboys-Skins Roundup
Cowboys 31, Skins 16: Despite the "moral victory" last week, Dallas sought an actual victory against Washington.

Breakfast Is A Pain In The Ass, But Probably Helpful
It is October, a time for drinking seasonal beers and being hearty. I am not drinking seasonal beers because I gave up drinking for the month because of an upcoming race. I gave up drinking for running; it's terrible. As you're reading this, I am likely getting drunk at a football game. Here is your...
