This Is The Best Fake Law Firm Name We've Ever Seen
We're obviously fond of Parks & Recreation around here—what with FJM's Ken Tremendous being executive producer and all—and tonight's easter egg of a law office name, undoubtedly the work of our pal who goes by Michael Schur these days, was fantastic....
What's Behind The Grambling Football Team's Protest

In 1908, The Chicago Cubs' Mascot Was A Terrifying Squirrelbeast
OK, so I'm pretty sure that this abomination is supposed to be a bear (cub?), but you can't convince me that it doesn't look more like a nightmare squirrel that was spawned in the deepest pit of Hell. In fact, I don't think it's posing in this picture at all. I think the bloodthirsty beast is actual...

Here's What All The NFL Logos Would Look Like If They Were Fat
The genius who brought you every NFL quarterback as his team's name and Peyton Manning's face in every NFL logo has struck again. This time, he's re-imagined the logo for each NFL team as a fatter version of itself. My favorite entry is the one for the Bears, obviously. Head over to Kissing Suzy Kol...
