Peyton Manning Kind Of Awkward In A Public Setting
Let's all get together and laugh at a famous person acting like a real human being! To be fair, it's not really Peyton's fault.

You The Man Now, Dawg
It's one thing to be arrested, but to be arrested for something called "pedestrian under the influence" and then having your mugshot show off the stylish temporary Bulldog tattoos stuck to your face ("cheek flair") adds another level of humiliation.

Did ESPN Blatantly Rip Off This Innocent-Looking Bald Man? You Be The Judge
So ESPN rolls out this new feature recently by Thomas Neuman called Ultimate NFL Power Rankings, in which he ranks the 32 NFL franchises.

This Is Why He's Michael Jordan And You Are Not
I'll be honest, I think it's one of the coolest things in the world that Michael Jordan smokes a cigar while he plays softball.
