Our Month Without Booze Is Past The Midpoint. Shit's Getting Real.
Week Three. The Wall. We warned you that Week Three would be the hardest.

NaVorro Bowman Had Popcorn Spilled On Him As He Was Carted Off
When NaVorro Bowman was carted off with a torn ACL, NFL.com's Gregg Rosenthal tweeted that "Seahawks fans threw food at "Bowman". That sounded very, very bad, especially for a fan base that loves to self-proclaim itself the best in football. But here's the footage, and it's...probably just one jerk?...

Kansas And Oklahoma State Need To Be Separated After Thunderous Dunk
Kansas, in the midst of a 13-0 first-half run against the Cowboys, brought Allen Fieldhouse to its feet with this crushing dunk from Tarik Black.

How Much Should You Tip Your Bartender? More Than You're Tipping Now

Matt Bonner With The Spot-On Andy Kaufman Impersonation
Matt Bonner recently did a little performance at the San Antonio Spurs' annual charity auction. A younger, less cultured player may have used such an opportunity to do the Gangnam Style dance or lip-sync that dumb "What Does the Fox Say?" song, but not Matt Bonner. Matt Bonner has deep cuts, son....
