<em>Titanic</em>: The Original <em>Twilight</em>
On April 10, 1998, my sister came to visit me in Los Angeles. That was her 18th birthday, and while she was ostensibly heading to Los Angeles to visit her older brother, the real reason she made the trip was to assert her newfound independence: She was gonna get a tattoo....
British Media Can't Stop Talking About How David Cameron Ate Hot Dogs At A Basketball Game
The British press has already dubbed President Obama and Prime Minister David Cameron's trip to Tuesday's Western Kentucky-MVSU First Four game "The Hot Dog Summit," and U.K. news reports all appear to be uniquely concerned with Cameron's consumption of the mid-game snack....
Barack Obama Is The Kentucky Of World Leader March Madness
Barack Obama may have pulled off a stunning victory over Vladimir Putin in the finals of last year's inaugural World Leader March Madness (orchestrated by the folks at Foreign Policy magazine), but his road to a second title will be decidedly tougher this year....
The Great Duke Attendance Scam
It's not really a scam; that's a sensationalist headline. Just jumping the gun on what will spend all day being a very dumb story. Because it is about Duke, and every story about Duke eventually breaks down to the lowest common denominators of the pro-Duke and anti-Dook factions flinging feces at ea...
ESPN's SkyCam Becomes Self-Aware, Starts Attacking Iowa Players
It was bound to happen eventually: the wire-suspended ESPN SkyCam came crashing to the ground late in Friday's Insight Bowl in Tempe, nearly decapitating Iowa's Marvin McNutt and leaving the Worldwide Leader's Sean McDonough to apologize with a sheepish "Sorry folks."...
Cameraman On Segway Makes For Incredible Views Of Cricket Pitch, Humiliating Crash
Joe Previtera, an Australian television cameraman known as "Joe the Cameraman," got his karmic return 12 years after his infamous "sledging" (or insulting, in cricket speak) of a cricketer during a 1999 match when he fell off of his Segway during an Australia-India test match yesterday....
Duke Basketball Made More Insufferable With Auto-Tuned "Duke Worldwide" Music Video
Midnight Madness took place last weekend. Lots of people do insufferable things during Midnight Madness, and increasingly, they do those insufferable things on camera. This is no longer limited to a drunk sorority girl's iPhone filming from the upper deck, muffled by screams and excited shaking ha...
When The World-Record Holder For The Hardest-Hit Squash Ball Drills You In The Back, It Will Leave A Hole (Video)
Cameron Pilley is a native of Australia who is currently the 16th-ranked squash player in the world. Last week, he set a world record for hitting a squash ball, variously reported at 173 or 175 miles per hour, depending on whether you believe this or what Pilley had to say in the video (not that it ...
Dook Sisters Go To Court Over Who's Dookier
The daughter of a Duke alumnus has filed a lawsuit against her sister, her brother-in-law, and Duke University for her inherited right to sit among these fine young men and women at Cameron Indoor Stadium all season long. Katina Dorton is seeking damages for the "fraudulent transfer" of two season t...
Hey, TNT Camera Guy, We Can See You Checking Those Ladies Out
This aired as the lead-in to the third quarter on tonight's broadcast of Heat-Bulls. I suppose the game is in Miami, and perhaps that is what people do down there, but it still seems a little uncouth. (And the network cut in with a clipped Marv Albert voiceover, so this was probably inadvertent.)...
NFL Draft Pundit @I_Just_Came Bathes In, Retreats From The Spotlight
A few of you have sent us, with apparent rage and glee, this screenshot of last night's draft coverage on NFL Network. What foolishness, you screamed, that the NFL's own broadcast arm would allow a Twitterer with such a handle onto its coverage!...
Blake Griffin Shows Hint Of Personality, Channels Mars Blackmon To Hype USC's Jordan Cameron
Mars Blakeman, nee Blake Griffin, took the time to film this promotional video for NFL hopeful Jordan Cameron, who played both football and basketball at USC. I'll leave the commentary here to tipster Brian, who wrote in with the link (sic): "This is kind of an odd thing, Why does this exist?" I a...

Every morning, the fine folks at Sports Radio Interviews sift through the a.m. drive-time chatter to bring you the best interviews with coaches, players, and personalities across the sports landscape. Today: Rodriguez wants you to believe he has a sense of humor....
Watch Coach K Throw A Chair
It was senior day at Cameron Indoor Stadium last night, and the Blue Devils honored their three seniors with a 70-59 win over Clemson. But the first half didn't go exactly as Coach K foresaw it, and he attempted to inspire and/or terrify his players by throwing a folding chair during a timeout. In...
Kendrick Perkins Will Not Win An Oscar For Pretending To Be Happy In OKC
God, that's heartbreaking, isn't it? Going from a title favorite, where you actually like all the guys on your team, to a talented-but-unready Thunder squad. Perk couldn't even fake a smile for the welcome-to-the-team photoshoot....
Padres OF Complains About Panda Express; Too Bad Team Owner Runs The Chain
On Tuesday, Cameron Maybin, the speedy outfielder traded from the Marlins to the Padres this offseason, tweeted this (@CamMaybin; it's since been scrubbed):...
A-Rod Gets Upset Over Popcorn Shot In Most A-Rod Way Possible
Believe it or not, Alex Rodriguez reportedly "went ballistic" after finding out that Fox ran this loving moment with girlfriend Cameron Diaz during the Super Bowl. He accused the cameraman of being "out to get them in a paparazzi-like shot," which, according to Bill Zwecker's source, is crazy becaus...
A-Rod Eats Popcorn In The Most A-Rod Way Possible
One of the first half highlight of Super Bowl XLV, besides Ben Roethlisberger throwing two picks, has been this random four-second cutaway to A-Rod and Cameron Diaz — just eatin' some popcorn in their luxury seats....
For Your Between-Games Entertainment, Video Of A Camel Falling In Church
I feel compelled to share this disclaimer: "No wise men were harmed in the production of this church's Christmas play, nor were any involved in the planning." (H/T Crackerman) ...
