NASCAR Fan Shaves American Flag Into Chest Hair
This guy was in Richmond last night, which apparently played host to not only the Ambrose-Mears fight, but the Civil War of shirts. Let's just all disregard the potentially racist/treasonous idiot in the Confederate flag shirt and feast our eyes upon the patriotic idiot with the hirsute Old Glory. C...
Dodger Stadium Idiot Climbs Over Outfield Fence, Evades Security

How To Cheat, Do Drugs, And Succeed At Baseball, By Dock Ellis
We're big fans of Dock Ellis, obviously, so we enjoyed this latest animated short, narrated by the man himself and excerpted from Donnell Alexander's Beyond Ellis D.

Nude Woman Beats Fans With A Whip After Wrestlemania In New Orleans
Nudity, S & M and tourists chanting on Bourbon Street are far from newsworthy events in New Orleans. But when they're part of the festivities following Wrestlemania 30, it all becomes a bit more fun (?)....
Down With Baseball's Fun Police
As much as I love baseball, no sport gets further up its own ass when it comes to players being allowed to look like they're having fun. Take the bench-clearing brawl in yesterday's Brewers-Pirates game, sparked by Carlos Gomez taking time to admire what he thought was a home run. Words were exchang...
Carlos Gomez's Triple Sparks Bench-Clearing Altercation
Pirates pitcher Gerrit Cole had some words for Brewers outfielder Carlos Gomez hit a triple off of him in today's game. Whatever Cole said, Gomez reacted, and it didn't take long before both benches cleared with players throwing punches....
Martín Maldonado Tears Cover Off Ball, Gets Infield Single
When you hear the phrase "he tore the cover off the ball," you think about a blistering line drive or a towering home run. In the sixth inning of Milwaukee's 5-3 win over the Pirates, Brewers backup catcher Martín Maldonado literally tore the cover off the ball and it never made it out of the infiel...
Michigan Playground Pooper Now Inspiring Highway Billboards
There's some weird shit going on in Ypsilanti, Mich., right now. Apparently, some terrible person has been taking dumps on playground equipment all over town, and one local marketing firm has had enough of it. ...
The Pirates And Reds Hit All The Home Runs
The Bucs and Reds combined for 10 home runs in just six innings, before being suspended due to rain. Here are all 10 of them, hit to dwindling crowds, increasing rain, and—because it was Cincinnati's "Bark in the Park" promotion—presumably a growing stench of wet dog fur....
