Bo Van Pelt Tied The Masters Sunday Round Record Of 64 Thanks To This Hole-In-One
Bo Van Pelt came from nowhere in posting a 64 in today's round at Augusta, tying the best-ever score on a Sunday at the Masters and falling a stroke shy of the all-time single-round record. He did it with the help of this ace on the 16th. ...
Here's What Kentucky's Championship Celebration Sounded Like Over The Lexington Police Scanner
If you weren't tuned in to the Lexington Police Department's radio scanner last night, you missed out on a wild world of sports celebrations that ranged from the violent to the perverse.

Tim Tebow Waited 16 Minutes And 40 Seconds To Mention Jesus At Today's Press Conference
Tim Tebow's New York Jets debutante ball is over, and while he (reliably) avoided saying much of anything interesting, doing a quick analysis of the press conference transcript (via closed captioning) may provide some clues as to how the quarterback (?) will adapt to the New York media sphere. ...

New Nets Arena Will Sell "Brooklyn Water" That's Made In Florida
"Made," obviously, getting scare quotes because it's water. In fact, let's use some more scare quotes. The Barclays Center, as part of its stated goal to use local vendors and products, will sell "Brooklyn Water" that's bottled in Florida but "Brooklynized," then shipped to Brooklyn. Where the Nets ...
Winners, Losers, And Weirdos: The Faces Of The First Day Of March Madness
There will be no more gripping and/or sipping in the NCAA tournament, as WKU's miracle run has come to an end after a thrashing by Kentucky. But for every loser there is a winner, so here's a collection of both (as well as the indescribably bizarre) from yesterday's action. ...
Who Want To Confuse Mutombo?
Dikembe Mutombo's nephew Harouna nearly led his Western Carolina team to the NCAA tournament last night, only to lose in double overtime. It was an improbable run, and it gave us this Mutombian reaction that can only be described as pure gold....
Ben Henderson Severely Messed Up Frankie Edgar's Face En Route To Winning The UFC Lightweight Belt

After Signing Cuban Defector With Weird Workout Video, Have The A's Had The Strangest Offseason Ever?
What is going on Oakland? (No, not this.) Billy Beane's done some things. He traded two young All-Star starters, Gio Gonzalez and Trevor Cahill, to the Nationals and Diamondbacks.

NBA Suspends Kevin Love Two Games For Face-Stomping Luis Scola
He may have escaped punishment on the court, but Kevin Love couldn't hide from the NBA league office. The Timberwolves forward will sit two games (against Sacramento and Memphis) for this face-stomp against the Houston Rockets' Luis Scola....

Kevin Love Got Away With Stomping On Luis Scola's Face
Kevin Love gave Luis Scola a facial—and not the kind his porn-star epithet might suggest—that somehow eluded detection by referees. The league office, though, might not be so nearsighted. [FS Houston]...
"Cut Back To A Wide Shot. Open The Skull": The <em>Faces Of Death</em> Guy Looks Back
John Alan Schwartz was on a California beach, trying to capture something life-affirming on camera. Or something that at least would contrast with death. He had a woman and a baby in a hot tub. This was going to be the final scene of his 1978 movie Faces of Death—a low-budget stunt project that wo...

Those same seats for Friday's game against the Nuggets were going for just $2.50 yesterday afternoon. Which was way up from the 30 cents apiece a few guys shelled out to see the Raptors last week. At just under four bucks a pop, you too can catch Wizards fever. I think. [StubHub]...
