Gael Monfils, Snubbed By France For Davis Cup, Fucks Around With Obscure Sport Instead
Gael Monfils, the best living tennis player from France, was curiously not chosen to play the first round of the Davis Cup, the most important international tournament in the sport.

Gisele Was The Only Good Fan
Think back to last night’s broadcast: Did you see many crowd shots that didn’t focus on celebrities? Did you see any?

Julian Edelman Caught That Somehow
So, there it is, right there in the above photo. One inch, maybe two, between football and turf?
