Sigh. Here Is Johnny Manziel Kind Of Doing The Nae Nae.
Well, we really boned ourselves here. Our non-exhaustive list of Johnny Manziel dirt that we will actually pay for included a $325 bounty for a video of Johnny Manziel doing the Nae Nae. (Why $325?

We're watching the rubber band snap on LeBron free agency coverage. We waited all year to see what would happen, and now that it's happening, there's... rather a lot of coverage, isn't there?

The Problem With Native American Slurs, According To Dan Snyder's Dad
Vinny Cerrato phoned a Boston sports-talk station recently and tried to explain why Dan Snyder won't change his football team's now officially derogatory name. "It's not a money thing for Dan," Snyder's former sidekick claimed. Instead, Cerrato dropped some Freud on us. ...
Here's Mark Jackson Doing Some Intense Sidewalk Preachin'
The other day, Mark Jackson went out to do some preachin' in Los Angeles, right over by the pawn shop and the check cashing joint. He's got a lot of energy, but I'm a little disappointed that he didn't find a way to work "Hand down, man down!" into his sermon....
Why Your World Cup Stadium Sucks: Estádio Beira-Rio, Porto Alegre
