Kobe Bryant Has Never Heard Of Linsanity
We can confirm Knicks sensation Jeremy Lin wasn't with Kobe shooting in the gym, either. Because some reporters asked Kobe—whose Lakers will play the Knicks tonight—what he thought of Linsanity, and he had no idea:...
Hanley Ramirez Has Made The Best (And Only) Spanish-Language Powerade Commercial We've Ever Seen
Lots of us have probably taunted Hanley Ramirez. He ruined fantasy teams (and, to some extent, the Marlins) in 2011, he porked up, he bungled balls in the field. But like any vengeful young man, he has waited six months and found revenge in a Spanish-language advertisement for a slightly downmarke...
Finally, Peyton Manning's Face In Every NFL Logo
What happens when the famous Manningface falls into the hands of a graphic designer?

Vince Wilfork Straight Up Told The Refs They Blew A Call In New England's Favor

It's been over two months since the mid-season finale of The Walking Dead, and while some folks may still be recovering from November's traumatic barn massacre, most viewers are ready to dive right back in to the undead bloodbath....
Jeremy Lin Dominates Other NBA Players In Planking
The NY Post ran a cropped version of the above photo in a story this morning about how Jeremy Lin, who's been sleeping on his brother's couch on the Lower East Side, is now searching for a home of his own, as it seems Lin will be sticking around New York a little longer.

Tennessee State Ends Murray State's Undefeated Season By Flopping Its Way To Victory
A technical foul called on Murray State's Ed Daniel—one that resulted from a clear flop that the referees had ample time to view on replay—helped Tennessee State upset Murray State and end the Racers' dream of an undefeated season....
Learning The Secret Of Rugby, Nine Concussions Later
I once drank so much weight-gain powder that I couldn't go 40 minutes without peeing. I was an intern in San Francisco, trying to play rugby with the big boys, and working part time clearing tables. Whoever designed Mass XXX surely did not intend for it to provide 50 percent of my daily calories, us...
The Stupidest Tweets Of The Super Bowl

The Orioles Can't Even Sign Potential Prospects Without Getting Their Scouts Banned In Other Countries
The Baltimore Orioles are dragging a streak of 14 consecutive losing seasons into 2012. Last month, they made a move that could pay significant future dividends when they inked 17-year-old Kim Seong-min to a $550,000 contract. A lefthander considered to be South Korea's best pitching prospect, Kim i...
Dana White Is "Beyond Disappointed" That Nick Diaz Tested Positive For Pot...Again
Disappointed, yes. Surprised? Hardly. Nick Diaz loves him some weed, and the Nevada State Athletic Commission has busted him for it again. In 2007, his amazing gogoplata win over Takanori Gomi in Las Vegas was bumped down to a "No-Contest" after Diaz tested positive for marijuana. Later that year, D...
