ESPN Cameras Caught Rafael Furcal With His Pants Down
With an on-premises pool and the overall clothing-optional vibe of Miami, the new Marlins ballpark is ripe for sighting people without their pants on.

Louisville Stopped The Bleeding With This Sexy Steal, Dish, & Dunk

Even After Winning The Super Bowl, Victor Cruz Still Gets Mistaken For A College Basketball Player
Despite what's suggested by ESPN's graphic, that's not Stanford forward Josh Huestis. It's actually New York Giants breakout star Victor Cruz, who took in last night's NIT semifinal at Madison Square Garden. This is not, sadly, an anomalous mistake. Even after scoring a touchdown in Super Bowl 46, ...

It came down to Arizona, Tennessee and Denver. Those three teams, sans Miami, that everyone expected to be on Peyton Manning's radar were the three finalists in Manning's search for a new team.

Kentucky Fans Are Convinced That UPS Is Out To Get Them
Perhaps you've seen this UPS ad, which has aired since conference tournaments began.

Octavio Dotel Could Have Rejoined The Defending Champions, Or Signed With An MLB-Record 13th Team. Guess Which He Chose.
Octavio Dotel is on his 13th different MLB team, and he's not even a crafty lefty. It's a record of longevity and effectiveness, if not irreplaceability, but it's a record nonetheless.
