Map: The United States Of America, By Meat
This is fun. L.V. Anderson and Jess Fink of Slate started with a simple observation—Americans consume more meat per person than any other nation on earth (except Luxembourg, those gluttons), yet most of our official state foods are not meat—and have created a map that assigns a unique meat or meat-...
Knicks Try To Keep Season-Ticket Holders Away From Fan Protest
Fed-up Knicks fans plan to protest outside Madison Square Garden before the March 19 game against the Pacers. The visibility will be big—every person on their way into the Garden for that game will get a loud, ugly reminder that this team has gone and is going nowhere....
Justin Bieber's Latest Basketball Highlight Is A Sad Sham
Justin Bieber is back on the court, ballin' like only Justin Bieber can. Which is to say, he's forcing his poor manager, Scooter, to pretend like he just got juked out of his shoes by Justin Bieber's KraZy Dribbling Skillz. Seriously, look at this dive. You'd think he was some jobber selling for the...
Marlins Dad Abandons Son For Ground-Rule Double
There is something about retrieving baseballs that is hard-wired into the psyche of all adult males. Maybe it's a vestige of our hunter-gatherer path, but even the sanest of men can't help but drop everything and goofily run after a $17 ball. It's a poor job by evolution, because sometimes we drop o...

P.J. Tucker Ejected For Punching Blake Griffin
Blake Griffin had a dominant 37-point performance in LA's 112-105 win over the Suns, shooting 14-16 from the field, but midway through the fourth quarter he and P.J.

Dolphins Offer To Pay For Majority Of Sun Life Stadium Upgrades
Just nine months after trying—and failing—to get nearly $400 million in taxpayer dollars to pay for renovations to Sun Life Stadium, word comes out of Miami that Dolphins owner Stephen Ross is willing to pay for the majority of the upgrades himself. This should be remembered every time a team tries ...
Could Ronda Rousey Take Floyd Mayweather, Jr.?
Here is a video in which UFC bantamweight champion Ronda Rousey claims she could beat up Floyd Mayweather, Jr. (It's from a while ago, but just came to our attention.)

Barry Bonds Says He Should Be In The Hall Of Fame "Without A Doubt"
Barry Bonds showed up at camp today, and put on a Giants uniform for the first time in seven years. At age 49, he looked good—smaller than in his playing days, but nothing that would be embarrassing if he were in spring training to play. He's here to teach. And he was immediately asked about PEDs....
Marcin Gortat Wants The NBA To Allow Fighting
Kyle Weidie has a fun Q&A with Marcin Gortat (outtakes here), and the Polish center was asked about rule changes he'd like to see in the NBA. In the lighthearted spirit of the interview, he offered up that basketball could stand to be a little more like hockey....
The Best Part Of The Sloan Conference Is All The Pro Sports Gamblers
By now, we've heard about all the different kinds of geniuses and salesmen and Malcolm Gladwells at the MIT Sloan Sports Analytics Conference. It's true, you'll find all kinds of wonderful nerds there. What they don't tell you is that the guys having the most fun are probably the sports bettors, wh...
Grappling Match Ends With Vomit-Inducing Fart
I haven't watched enough grappling competitions to know what the worst thing that could possibly happen to a grappler is, but I have to assume that getting blasted in the face with a fart so noxious that it immediately causes one to vomit and stop the match has to be near the top of the list....
Iguana Decides He Does Not Want That Golf Ball After All
This iguana was hungry for a golf ball at the Puerto Rico Open when something—the ball rolling away, taunting him? all the people watching him fail at eating?—spooked him and he had to hastily abort mission....
