Ah, The Old "Cell-Phone-Goes-Off-When-You're-About-To-Lose" Trick
At the Swedish Open yesterday, Caroline Wozniacki was serving for match point against Alizé KCornet when a cell phone started to ring.

Michael Beasley Has Not Yet Kicked That Demon Weed
The 2011 NBA lockout is a mere six days old, which means that we are way past due for a report of a league player getting cited for possession of marijuana.

Blotto Teenage Brewers Fan Soils Himself And Falls Down Stairs At Miller Park
A few years back, the New York Times had a piece about Wisconsin's drinking problem. "When it comes to drinking, it seems, no state keeps pace with Wisconsin," they wrote. It was bad, they said, in large part because Wisconsin bars and restaurants allow minors to drink in the presence of parents o...
Cowboys Partner With Marvel Entertainment, Nation's Superheroes Become Unreliable Choke Artists
