Hakeem Olajuwon Was Something Else In College, Man

The First Photos Of Jason Pierre-Paul's Bandaged, Blown-Up Hand
The Giants have no idea how many fingers Jason Pierre-Paul has left, and JPP hasn’t called to tell them. Reports earlier this month were that he’d lost his index finger, but that’s still unconfirmed.

A Norwegian Hero Has Been Shitting In A Golf Club's Holes For A Decade
There are keyboard warriors out there, like myself, who will write all these words about how golf is a classist and racist and sexist and bullshit sport and how actually fuck that it’s not even a sport and how the easiest way to tell if you’re in the presence of a Grade-A, grass-fed fuckboy is to as...
