Ben Henderson Severely Messed Up Frankie Edgar's Face En Route To Winning The UFC Lightweight Belt
In one of UFC's better title fights of late, Benson Henderson claimed the lightweight belt as he won a unanimous decision over Frankie Edgar at UFC 144 in Tokyo Saturday night.

Half-Headed Guy From That One Mugshot Films "Drugness And Driving" PSA While Smoking A Blunt
We first told you about the half-headed man a little more than a year ago, when his bust in Miami for soliciting a prostitute produced the most bizarre mug shot of all time. The Miami New Times has been trying to track him down to tell his story ever since, and they've learned he's been arrested fo...

The Best Part Of Sam Gagner's Eight-Point Night: Being Awarded All Three Stars
Sam Gagner gave Edmonton something it hasn't seen since the days of Wayne Gretzky and Paul Coffey, and something nobody's done in 23 years. Despite a scoreless first period for the Oilers, Gagner scored four goals against the Blackhawks, assisted on four more, and clocked in just the 16th eight-po...
Sam Gagner Tied Gretzky's Oilers Record With Eight Points Last Night
The last time an NHL player had an eight-point regular season game (1988), Sam Gagner wasn't born yet. That he tied an Oilers club record held by legends like Wayne Gretzky and Paul Coffey makes his performance last night against Chicago that much more glorious. Since we can't depend on you havin...
Chael Sonnen Continues To Confuse MMA With WWE
Here's Chael Sonnen after his middleweight fight tonight in Chicago during the UFC on Fox event, one in which Sonnen won a unanimous decision over Michael Bisping. It looks like Sonnen is cutting a pro wrestling promo, which I'm sure plenty of MMA fans think is just great—but personally, I'd rather...
UFC President Dana White Compares Anti-SOPA Activists To 9/11 Terrorists
Pledging to "kick the asses" of activists hacking the UFC website to protest the company's support of anti-piracy bill SOPA, Dana White compared the protestors to 9/11 terrorists and threatened "you're gonna get bin Laden'd" in an interview with The Score....

We Can Rebuild Taylor Hall
Edmonton's wunderkind got sliced open by a teammate's skate at Tuesday's warmup, requiring 30 stitches and a promise to his mother that he'll wear a helmet next time. Hall spoke to reporters for the first time today, and rather than listen to what he had to say, they all just snapped cell phone pics...

We didn't have time to give this nasty wheel kick KO the proper treatment last night, but here's Edson Barboza's heel applied to Terry Etim's face in extreme slow motion, from Saturday's UFC 142 lightweight event....

Edson Barboza Brutally Knocked Out Terry Etim With A Kick To The Face
While the New England Patriots are metaphorically kicking the crap out of the Denver Broncos, this knock-out wheel kick from Edson Barboza provides legitimate reason to check Terry Etim's pants. It was a blow that might ruin the adjective "lightweight" forever....
Brock Lesnar Just Retired From UFC. Here's Why (And The Official Announcement)
Here's the shot from Alistair Overeem that knocked Brock Lesnar out of UFC (along with Lesnar's announcement that made it official).

Erick Dampier Is Literally A Textbook Example Of Irrational Behavior
In general, I don't give Erick Dampier much thought, and I'm guessing neither do you. He is far from an NBA superstar, and if he's at all memorable, it's only for having once been memorably overpaid....

I was sitting next to my friend on a bus the other day. He farted. It got us thinking: How many farts have there been in human history?...
There Were Two Buzzer-Beaters In The NHL Last Night
Ryan McDonagh's putback after a Dan Girardi prayer caromed behind the net gave the Rangers a 3-2 win in overtime. Dany Heatley's bad-angle flick off of Nikolai Khabibulin's chest at the end of regulation salvaged a point for Minnesota, and eventually a second one with a shootout win. Both goals we...
Self-Hating Red Sox Fans Can Now Buy The Buckner Ball For $1 Million
The ball that went through Bill Buckner's legs in 1986 (and possibly the same one that Bob Stanley threw past Rich Gedman?) will go on eBay this month with a starting price of $1 million. It was formerly owned by Charlie Sheen, so hopefully there is $1 million worth of drugs inside of it. [AP]...
