Jason Kendall Blows Up At A Reporter, Is Kind Of An Asshole
Yesterday, Nick Wright of 610 AM was interviewing Royals prospect Mike Moustakas when he asked him a wholly innocuous question about possibly starting the season in AAA to delay his arbitration clock. That's when Jason Kendall, not even part of the conversation, jumped in....
Vanderbilt Mascot Punches Vanderbilt Fan, Bloodying His Nose
Vandy's mascot "Mr. C" went after one of his own fans before yesterday's loss to Tennessee.

Here's A Carolina Buzzer-Beater That Has Nothing To Do With Tobacco Road
Coastal Carolina offers up a case study in where not to throw the ball on a full-court in-bounds pass with seconds remaining in a tie game: a rainbow into the middle of the court is never really a safe bet.

Texas A&M Recruit Jordan Green Eschews Cars, Dunks Over Defenders
Jordan Green, out of Flower Mound High School in Texas, had a pretty epic dunk this weekend. So epic, in fact, that he knocked over a player on the opposing team. So while Blake Griffin was jumping over cars in the dunk contest this weekend, Jordan Green was jumping over people. The only way to up...
Barcelona Players Tripped Up By Language Barrier
The most amusing thing about this jokey dubbed-over video is that it's probably accurate. Ibrahim Affelay is from Holland, the new signing by Barcelona, potentially a good one and clearly not versed in Catalan. Is nobody studying Dutch in grade school anymore?...
Newspaper Actually Photoshops Out Player To Make Play Appear Offside
We take it for granted that our local media outlets are going to be homers, and that's generally fine. We're fans, and we want to get coverage from our perspective.

NASCAR Media Take The Restrictor Plates Off Their Praise For Trevor Bayne
OK. We get it. Trevor Bayne is going to save NASCAR. Or something like that.

It was only Bayne's second start in the big leagues of the Sprint Cup....

Lament Of The Knicks Fan Living Under The Specter Of Isiah
We see the masses in Tunisia, in Egypt, in Libya, and we rejoice. We rejoice for the rare illustration of that most deeply held human belief — that the people must not be subject to the leadership they do not choose. We rejoice, and yet we are conflicted, because we feel ground under a similar despo...

Here's Kobe Bryant Getting A Little Testy With Reporters Last Night
After scoring 37 points on 14-for-26 shooting in last night's All-Star Game, Kobe sat through a lot of post-game interviews. He seemed a little tired — irritable, even. Maybe it is from being around all the young folk, after all....
Lady Puts Hidden Camera On Her Ass, "Busts" People And Jesus Scoping It
