Allow me to self-plagiarize for a moment. A few members of the Deadspin staff, myself included, once went to the MLB Fan Cave.

Fox Unveils "Goose Cam," Which Is The Worst Thing Ever
I can't imagine there's any football fan who turns on their TV on Sundays and thinks to themselves, "God, I hope this game features lots of Tony Siragusa and his crack football analysis."

VP Candidate Paul Ryan Praised The "Storied" Cleveland Browns And Quarterback "Brendan Wheaton"
Political pandering is hard to pull off right these days, but Paul Ryan should know better than to laud a "storied" franchise that's never won a Super Bowl and has one winning season in the last 10 (and, depending on your interpretation of such things, has only existed since 1999).

This Is What The Lincoln Tunnel Looks Like To An F1 Car At 90 MPH
To do some press for the debut of a New Jersey F1 race (which probably won't happen in 2013, as was planned) Red Bull Racing sent David Coulthard through the Lincoln Tunnel with a camera on his car.
