The Purported CT Scan Of Mark Fraser's Head Is Terrifying
Three days ago, Maple Leafs defenseman Mark Fraser took a puck to the face. The image above may or may not be Fraser's CT scan from St. Michael's Hospital in Toronto; we're still working on that (although in the top-right corner, it does say "FRASER, MA(RK?)." Whoever that is, though, that gigantic ...

Upon reaching the finish line in something called the NHRA "Winternationals" today, Antron Brown was going around 300 mph when his 8,000 horsepower engine exploded, causing his two back tires to also explode. He then lost control of the car as it burst into flames and careened into the wall. It th...
Mark Wahlberg Shouts Out The Falcons While Possibly Being Haunted By A Demon In A Football Jersey

With Their Name Change Looming, The New Orleans Hornets Have Also Trademarked "Rougarou," "Mosquitos," "Swamp Dogs," And "Bullsharks"
It is, by now, established that if and when the New Orleans Hornets change their name to the Pelicans, they'll have one of the best mascots in the league. Feisty, local, unique—its got everything you'd want in a mascot, and the Pelicans will rocket to the top of the standings based on their team nam...

Courtesy of the great commonwealth of Kentucky, we have this horrifying creation, which was posted on ebay last Sunday. The seller set a starting bid of $550 for his artfully arranged shriveled cat carcass. Someone must have jumped on that incredible deal, because the item is no longer for sale....
Here's An Arkansas Fan Wearing A Bizarre Hog Costume Singing Her Own Razorbacks Version Of "United We Stand"

Fifty years from now, let's not pretend we didn't see the warning signs. They were there the whole time. Hell, this post is a warning sign.

The Hatfield Pig Is Here To Share His Cannibalistic Goodness With Phillies Fans
During your average Phillies broadcast, the freakiest thing you're likely to see is some antic of the Phanatic. Maybe, if you're lucky, a fight will break out in the Citizens Bank Park cheap seats....
Yup, That's A Kansas City Chiefs Glass Eye
Spotted over at Arrowhead Addict: the last thing a Raiders fan sees before he dies. Steve Graham, 58, lost his right eye in a dart accident when he was a kid, but only a decade ago did he decide to give the real estate to a Chiefs logo....
Mexico's Official Soccer Mascot Will Haunt Your Dreams
This is Kin, the official mascot of the Mexican national soccer team, which faces the USA tonight at Estadio Azteca. Mexico is 23-0-1 all-time against the USMNT on its home soil, though I'm thinking it's the hideous sight of this monstrosity and not the extreme altitude or exuberant fanbase that's t...
Indian Cricket Squad Celebrates Backdoor Playoff Berth With Terrifying Homage To Goatse
There's a lot to lose in translation when it comes to cricket, but this much we know: this picture, posted on facebook, is terrifying. "Nightmare fuel" is not something to be bandied about, but I feel confident in its application here....

He's in New York today, where he was greeted by a larger-than-life bust lovingly crafted out of barbecue chicken and various sandwich toppings. ("The hair Is peppers and the teeth are garlic...
Mr. McFeely Terrorizes Children With A Purple Panda
I don't know what the backstory is, I don't want to know what the backstory is. All I know is that a man dressed up as Mr. McFeely from Mister Rogers' Neighborhood is hanging out with some kids at a daycare/kindergarten class of sorts when in walks a purple panda and it turns into a scene out of T...
Charles Barkley Dresses As A Woman For His Next Weight Watchers Commercial

March Madness Means Charles Barkley Fueling Your Future Night Terrors
The odd, temporary marriage between CBS and Turner during the NCAA tournament means occasional instances of one's chocolate being found in another's peanut butter, or vice-versa if you will. College basketball fans get a taste of TNT's Inside the NBA wackiness while NBA mavens let Jim Nantz singleh...
Meet Sgt. Stripes, One Very Unsettling Bowl Mascot
Let me tell you about the worst football game I've ever been to: it was Temple vs UCLA at RFK Stadium, in the 2009 EagleBank Bowl (the forerunner to the Military Bowl).
