Does The NHL Have The Balls To Continue Their Head Shot Crackdown In The Playoffs?
The league's done a top-notch job of saying and doing the right things as their NFL counterparts get blasted on ignoring head trauma. New rules against cheap shots and hits on defenseless players are on the books, and have been clearly expressed to the players. Everyone knows what you can't do. Bu...
This Uruguayan Striker Sets The Standard For The 360 Spin-Move Goal
Last night in Bolivia, Blooming and the Destroyers played their annual friendly, the Copa Fundacion de Santa Cruz.

It Sure Looks Like Brian Wilson's Pal The Machine Had A Lovely Day After The Closer's Hair-Metal Birthday Bash

Wizards Don't Want You Giggling At The Prospect Of Two Men Kissing On Their Kiss-Cam
Unless you're into losing, the best part of a Wizards game for many years has been the kiss-cam, a silly distraction during timeouts that puts an opposite-sex couple in the crowd on the big screen and urges them to smooch. It's funny because you never know if the people actually will kiss. You don't...
Here’s Part Two Of Our (Nearly) Exhaustive Video Compilation Of Blake Griffin Dunks
Just before the All-Star break, we provided you with a video compilation of Blake Griffin posterizing from the first half of his rookie year.

Either Somebody Comes Up With $25K By Friday Or UConn's Championship Parade Is Off
It's one thing to win what ranks among the worst men's college basketball championship games ever. It's another thing altogether to have to ask the city of Hartford or the state of Connecticut to pony up some coin to have a parade to accompany "the scheduled celebration for the team at the state Ca...
Wife Of Phillies Reliever Forgets Comments Like These Will Not Go Over Well In Philadelphia (UPDATE)
Philadelphia fans are (sometimes) a little overzealous and rude. We all know this. They've thrown up on Santa Claus while he was trying to help Michael Irvin off the field after he was temporarily paralyzed by a tossed Duracell. But it should be known by now, especially by the players who still pla...

Lil' Wayne Likely First Rapper Ever To Wear A Women's College Basketball Jersey In Public
Weezy's full-blown crush on Notre Dame guard Skylar Diggins swelled to a creepier degree last night, when he performed at Indiana University in a #4 Fighting Irish jersey.

Watch Tim Lincecum Pitch In Super Slo-Mo
We went ahead and did our best to de-corporatize Tim Lincecum's Red Bull spot for your enjoyment (basically, we took out the sound).
