Dustin Brown Can Make A Lob Look Sexy
As far as outright winners go, lobs might be the least exhilarating way to terminate a point of tennis.

A...
Josh Norman Challenges The NFL To Flag His Beer-Themed Celebration<em></em>
Washington cornerback Josh Norman caught a flag in Week 4's game against the Browns for pretending to shoot a bow and arrow.

Fox Sports Is Extremely Lazy
Several of you noted Fox used the bizarre image above—one of injured Vikings quarterback Teddy Bridgewater, but with current Minnesota QB Sam Bradford’s face pasted on—during this afternoon’s NFL broadcast, but that’s far from the first time we’ve seen the image pop up.
