The 13 Most Annoying Men Of March Madness
We've done enough loving on March Madness this week.

We're Still Murdering Sled Dogs
Earlier this month, in the middle of the 1000-mile Iditarod sled dog race across Alaska, a five-year-old husky mix named Dorado was left behind at a checkpoint.

Alabama's Trevor Releford Beat The Georgia Bulldogs On A Nice Little Floater From Beyond Half-Court
At this point, it's useless to compare buzzer-beaters. This one's the best, that one's the best, the one with the chunky Canadians is the best—it's all relative.

This Year, Iditarod Mushers Will Be Peeing Themselves Mid-Race With The Help Of Science
The Iditarod kicked off over the weekend, and it'll be more than a week before even the best mushers complete the race. That 1000-mile trek through the Alaskan wilds is tough enough, even without having to take bathroom breaks at rest-stop Hardees or pee off the back of your sled, giggling as the st...

When CNN ditched Sports Illustrated as its in-house sports arm and instead went to new acquisition Bleacher Report last month, we were alarmed.

Prosecutors in England, prepping for a case, repeatedly contacted a police department for details on the arrest—specifically, they demanded a witness statement from "PD Peach," an officer who assisted. The problem is, PD stands for Police Dog, and Peach is an adorable German Shepherd, and as such is...

Mark Buehrle Will Leave His Family Behind Because His Dog Is Banned In Toronto
New Blue Jays pitcher Mark Buehrle loves his puppies, American Staffordshire terrier Slater, and Vizslas Drake, Duke and Diesel. But Toronto doesn't love Slater. Ontario has a ban on pit bulls and related breeds, so Slater—big slobbery baby that he is—isn't allowed in the province. So rather than le...

Here Are 2,000 Photos We Took At The Westminster Dog Show
The thing about the Westminster Dog Show is (and this is going to sound obvious) that there are so many dogs.

"I'm Down For Drinks, Laughs, Sex": The Sexual Harassment Claims That Brought Down Toledo's Running Coach
It was a matter of rules and consequences, he said. On Jan. 24, Kevin Hadsell, the director of the University of Toledo's men's and women's cross country and women's track program, announced his resignation, a move that was as mysterious as it was abrupt. Hadsell had been at Toledo since 1998, and i...
