Trapped In The Water Closet, Featuring Fernando Rodney
Fernando Rodney had himself a bit of an adventure in the dugout bathroom at O.co Coliseum last night. It's unclear what exactly caused it, but the Rays closer found the exit blocked and required the introduction of a foreign object before he was finally free....
Vice's Artsy MMA Site Is Pretty Much A UFC Front
Last December, Vice launched Fightland, a mildly artsy fight game site. So far, it's more or less lived up to the expectations you'd have for a mildly artsy fight game site run by Vice....
I Kind Of Like Tim Tebow Now
The hatred of Tim Tebow and the hatred of the attention lavished on Tim Tebow are wrongly, if understandably, mixed. In a Baylessless vacuum, in a place where the word "intangibles" isn't used by pundits for the purposes of invidious distinction, Tebow would probably be an OK dude, and a lot of fun...
Redskins LB Tackles Two Bucs At The Same Time
The Maginot Line provided more protection than tackle Mike Remmers. At least the Germans had to waste time going around it. Remmers merely found himself in in the way of Rob Jackson, and suffered the consequences....

Atlanta Hawks Head Coach Charged With DUI
Mike Budenholzer's tenure as the new head coach of the Atlanta Hawks isn't exactly off to a roaring start. The former Spurs assistant was arrested early Thursday morning in Atlanta and charged with a DUI....
Yasiel Puig Pulled From Game For Taking His Sweet-Ass Time
What unwritten rule did Dodgers rookie/conga line dancer Yasiel Puig violate this time, leading to a mid-game benching and a round of paroxysmal I-told-you-sos from our nation's baseball columnists? Actually, this one's pretty justified....
The Playboy Interview With His Airness
My man Max over at Longform has reprinted a select group of the legendary Playboy Interviews. Here's one you might dig, Mark Vancil's 1992 chat with Michael Jordan:...
Two Runners, One Base

If The Jets Are Going Down, They're Taking The Media With Them
The New York Jets have graduated from hapless ne'er-do-wells to full-blown snowball rolling down the mountain, taking out everything in its path.

Irritating bracket can't get geography right either: "Romantics will regard the Killers as this year's Gonzaga, or more recently, Butler — a mid-major with a solid program, and a dynamic man out front. ... Consider these similarities: the Killers' Las Vegas home base and those mid-majors' Southweste...
