What Happens When ESPN Accidentally Allows Write-In Votes On A Facebook Poll

Timbers Defender David Horst Took A Shot To The Face At Point-Blank Range

Dustin Pedroia Did Not React Well To Rumors Of Kevin Youkilis Being Traded
The Red Sox sent Kevin Youkilis packing yesterday, shipping the popular third baseman (and more than $5 million) to the White Sox for Brent Lillibridge and pitcher Zach Stewart.

Justin Tuck's Crazy New Facemask Is Awesome <em>And</em> Functional

Ukraine's 2-1 Comeback Win Left This Swede Feeling Black In The Face
So, yeah, the racism promised to emerge at Euro 2012 in Poland and Ukraine actually did, though in classic 1960's spy drama fashion everyone's blaming the Russians.

Naked Man Shot To Death While Eating Another Man's Face
We can dispense with the Ohio or Florida game. This kind of crazy only happens in Florida. Just south of the Miami Herald offices, to be sort of specific. At around 2:00 p.m. yesterday afternoon, people heard several gunshots along the 13th Street ramp of the MacArthur Causeway. According to Miami ...
Bobcats Facebook Poll Goes Poorly
Charlotte's official Facebook page put up a poll, which could have been fun. It was an inane question, sure—"what pick will the Bobcats get in the lottery"—but it could have been a window into the fanbase's level of pessimism. The Cats have the best odds, so anyone picking anything but "No. 1 overal...

Ryan Anderson's Miss At The Buzzer Was Worthy Of His Facepalm Reaction
Not to take anything away from Dirk Nowitzki's game-winning basket, but the 5.9 seconds remaining were enough for Orlando to get off not one but two final shots in an attempt to tie the 100-98 Mavericks lead. The second of these—an awkward scoop at the buzzer from under the rim—didn't fall for Ryan...
