Clemson Fans Have Awesome Tattoos
Sometimes people think Southerners are weird. Then I link to pictures of guys like Nate Davis who want full-back tattoos to establish their college football fandom and you can rapidly tell we're just like everyone else. Only we drink more.

Obama, McCain Finally Ready To Duke It Out Over Sports Metaphors

Obama Really Just Wants To Be Dr. J

South Alabama Jaguars
1. It's the Jags baby... The University of South Alabama will be coming to a television near you this March. I'm guessing most of you are surprised that such a school exists.

Obama Gets His Desmond Howard On
As some of you surely saw yesterday, presidential candidate Barack Obama visited Mack Brown and the Texas Longhorns yesterday. We think this picture is pretty awesome. We hope that this inevitably leads to Mitt Romney, when he runs again in four years, hanging out with Keith Van Horn....
Sir Charles Doesn't Work For the Christians
Sure, it's no conversation about bewbs with Reggie Miller, but stuff like this could actually get me to watch the Sunday morning politics shows.
