NASCAR Fan Shaves American Flag Into Chest Hair
This guy was in Richmond last night, which apparently played host to not only the Ambrose-Mears fight, but the Civil War of shirts. Let's just all disregard the potentially racist/treasonous idiot in the Confederate flag shirt and feast our eyes upon the patriotic idiot with the hirsute Old Glory. C...

LeBron Stares Down Michael Jordan On Fast-Break Dunk
Michael Jordan was sitting to the left of the Bobcats bench and partially obscured by the backboard from the first angle (thus the red arrow), but it sure as shit looks like LeBron stared MJ down as he took off for this dunk in the third quarter of Miami's 98-85 win over Charlotte....
How To Make Fish Tacos, Perfection Now And Forever
Hell no, I don't need to persuade you to make fish tacos. Pfft. No way. It's spring; the sun is shining in a blue sky; birds were singing outside your open window when you awoke this morning, because you left your window open overnight, because that is what you do in springtime, because you are n...
Swansea City's Jonjo Shelvey Scores On Mid-Field Blast

Go read Michigan professor Yago Colas on his student Mitch McGary: "Perhaps the humanity he has shown, in class and in smoking a joint, might actually be an integral part of (rather than some unfortunate obstacle to) what made him so effective and thrilling as a basketball player."

Sarah Spain Calls Out <em>Numbers Never Lie</em> For Useless Knicks Talk
On today's episode of Numbers Never Lie, espnW's Sarah Spain filled in for Jemele Hill to debate with Michael Smith and Jorge Sedano.

Adorable Little Dog Turns Demonic At The Mention Of Barcelona Players
The Real Madrid-FC Barcelona rivalry is one of the greatest in sports, and almost everyone in the world picks a side when the two clubs meet.

The Origins Of Amateurism; Or, Why College Sports Are So Fucked Up
As president of the NCAA, Mark Emmert has $1.7 million a year riding on the premise that college sports are integral to the mission of higher education in general, a number that frankly lends a certain insight to his cause.
