Virginia Tech Cornerback Antone Exum Took Some Random Kids At Best Buy On A $470 Shopping Spree
The NCAA allows bowl participants to accept sponsors' gifts up to $550 in value, and for players competing in Friday's Russell Athletic Bowl most of that value came in a $470 Best Buy gift card.

Tim Tebow Is A Coddled Malcontent
The Jets dressed three quarterbacks for their game against the Chargers yesterday—a game they lost, 27-17. Greg McElroy, the former Alabama quarterback who, evidently, never faced a pass rush while he was there, started, while Tim Tebow and Mark Sanchez backed him up. (Neither was the No. 3 quarterb...
Canada's <em>SportsCentre</em> Has Bad Taste In Basketball Games

Virgil Held An Impromptu Question And Answer Session On Twitter And It Was Virgilicious
Former professional wrestler and body guard Virgil is fascinating.

Nick Swisher Will Take His Goofball Show To Cleveland
It's a sad day for baseball fans—Nick Swisher is going to the Cleveland Indians for what could possibly be a five year, $70 million deal.

Forbes's latest best guess at the most valuable college football programs is out, and if you're a Texas fan, congratulations: Your slavering devotion to the Death Star of the Big 12 has paid off once again.

Florida Senator And Likely Presidential Candidate Marco Rubio Spends His Time Reading Websites About Long Snapping, Would Switch Jobs With Jeff Ireland
Marco Rubio, according to an article published yesterday in the New York Times, is a diehard Dolphins fan and a massive football fan in general: His father used to motivate him to keep wearing his leg braces, there to correct a knee problem, by giving him pep talks in the voice of Don Shula ("I alw...
Doug Collins Bought 18,000 Big Macs Last Night
Every time the 76ers score over 100 points or more, each fan in attendance at the Wells Fargo center gets a free Big Mac. Last night, Doug Collins’s team got the ball back with just under 24 seconds left in the game, up on the Hawks 99-80. The conundrum: going for the points could seem like showing ...
Here's UCF's Best Dance Teamer, Who Just So Happens To Be An Eight-Foot-Tall Man
It was so brief, we weren't sure we had seen it correctly, but reader Todd sent in the video: UCF's dance team seems to be organized around, if not led by, an extremely tall, enthusiastic and graceful male dance teamer. We like his style. We like his passion. We like his pom-poms, and the fact tha...
The Bulls-Knicks Game Went To Complete Shit Last Night, And Produced This Beautiful GIF Of A Dismayed Spike Lee
When you're not particularly used to losing, any downturn in your fortunes seems like it must be the result of some malevolent scheme from outsiders that bear you ill will.

Every Oral History Ever
The Classical did an oral history of Fire Joe Morgan this week. And while it makes for great reading (especially if you love FJM as much as I do and have ripped off FJM as often as I have), it occurred to me while reading along that every oral history is virtually identical. Here now is your univers...
You Can Search YouTube For LITERALLY ANYTHING + "Rap" And Get Instant Sad
So maybe this is obvious, but people like to rap on YouTube. And then they leave the videos up, forever. On one hand, this is a curious anthropological development for humanity. On the other hand, it means there's a rap video for virtually any noun, verb, or other descriptor in English....
