The Krewe du Vieux is one of the first parades on the Carnival calendar, and surely the most explicit. The Times-Picayune says it "aims for eyebrow-raising, low-brow amusement and often hits the mark with its rude designs and naughty details." But topicality is important, and with Roger Goodell comi...

Some Poor Bastard Bought 10,000 Lance Armstrong DVDs, And They're Now Worthless
We're a few years away from Lance Armstrong being sued to destitution, and signing bike locks with "I'm sorry I injected EPO," à la Pete Rose.

Here's A Woman Who Claims She's Dashon Goldson's Aunt Cursing And Screaming Incoherently On Live Television
Hat tip to ol' Diamond Joe on this one, from the NFC Championship Game postgame show today on KTTV, L.A.'s Fox affiliate.

Their hands were tied, it's a rule. Howard appears to get tangled up with the Raptors Alan Anderson after a Metta World Pea...

Four Butler Bros Struggled In Their Attempts To Coordinate A Group High Five Last Night

Butler Beats Gonzaga Thanks To A Miraculous Final Four Seconds
After a traveling call ended what should have been Butler's last chance to overcome a one-point deficit at Hinkle Fieldhouse against eighth-ranked Gonzaga, a turnover with 3.5 seconds remaining led to an off-balance Roosevelt Jones shot that found the basket and delivered Butler's Bulldogs a 64-63...

Because Of Some Alleged Hard Bargaining From The Astros, About 60% Of Houston Can't Watch The Rockets
Is there anything worse than a local baseball franchise that hasn't been competitive in four seasons, telegraphs its plans to stay non-competitive by carrying almost no payroll, and is widely expected to occupy the basement of its new league when they switch over this spring?
