Both Of Lionel Messi's Feet Must Be Made Of Glue
Let's ignore the video of Lionel Messi's second goal today for a minute, and just stare at the picture above.

7-Year-Old Wes Welker Once Whaled On A Dog

NBA Shit List: The Philadelphia 76ers, Who Are Capitalism's Diarrhea

This Looks Like The Year The Celtics Finally Trade Rajon Rondo
Swapping Rajon Rondo trade rumors is America's oldest and most treasured holiday tradition.

There Were A Lot Of Buzzer Beaters In the NBA Tonight
Look, the NBA season is too damn long. Even I, an NBA junkie that watches at least 200 games a year, can see that.
