Miami Residents Will Vote On Whether To Publicly Finance The Dolphins' Stadium Renovations
The Dolphins, who own their own stadium, want $400 million worth of upgrades. And they want Miami-Dade County taxes to foot the bill for half. The excuses are familiar—we want to host Super Bowls, we could move to Los Angeles instead—but the battleground is unique. South Florida residents were burne...

WORCESTER, Mass.—None of the stars from the "Fierce Five," the highly meme-able gold medal team from the London Games, competed in Worcester for the American Cup last weekend.

College Pitcher Gets Ball Stuck In Glove On Comebacker, Throws Entire Glove To First
Quick thinking from Oregon's Jeff Gold to hurl the entire package when he realized the ball was stuck in the webbing of his mitt. But credit should also go to first baseman Ryon Healy, who was able to spot and corral the ball as it came loose from the glove in mid-air....
Watch The Undertaker And The Late Paul Bearer On An Old Episode Of <em>Live! With Regis And Kathie Lee</em>
Former WWF and WWE manager Paul Bearer (real name: Bill Moody) died last night at the age of 58. If you haven't already, read the essay The Masked Man wrote for us two years ago about The Undertaker.

High School Coach Whose Wife Was Diagnosed With Cancer Hits Half-Court Shot For $20,000
This happened between the third and fourth quarters of last night's Lakers-Thunder game, and it's one of the best fan-makes-half-court-shot videos of the year. The fact that Heath Kufahl's perfectly executed shot is followed by everyone on the court freaking out jumping around to a Blur song makes...
One Manchester United Fan Was So Upset By Nani's Red Card, He Called The Police
United washed out of the Champions League yesterday, conceding two backbreaking goals to Real Madrid almost immediately after Nani was sent off for an unintentional boot into the torso of Álvaro Arbeloa. It was controversial as all get-out—you can see the video here—and surely swung the result....

High School Player's Grandma Adorably Comments On Newspaper Story To Explain Why He Had A Bad Game
The Washington Post has a gamer for a 4A playoff semifinal last night, where Wise HS walloped DuVal by 31 points for a major upset. It's of interest only to that very small segment of readership who follows Maryland prep hoops, and of course, family and friends of the players. So while there's only ...

Three Good Reasons To Doubt That An Unheralded Receiver Actually Ran A 4.19 40-Yard Dash
Northern Iowa receiver Terrell Sinkfield wowed scouts at the University of Minnesota's pro day on Monday. According to "reports" (more on that later), Sinkfield ran the 40-yard dash in a time of 4.19 seconds. It's easy and tempting to take at face value, because it'd be a wonderful story. A no-name ...
No, The Lakers Did Not Prove That They Can Compete With The Thunder Last Night
Last night, the Oklahoma City Thunder decimated the Los Angeles Lakers. Not only did the home team hang 122 on the Lakers, they bullied their way into the paint for 52 of those points and racked up another 22 on fast breaks that left Los Angeles gasping and ragged. L.A. surrendered 37 points in the...
The 10 Supplements You Actually Need
Men's Health, a magazine for men who are healthy and dumb, will tell you that there are 10 supplements that you, the fitness-seeking man, "actually need." Oh really?

To Go With An Injury And A Loss, A Fan Stole Kobe Bryant's Towel
Not the best night for Kobe. After briefly leaving the game in the first with an ulnar nerve contusion (that's a bruised funny bone, and you don't need to be an athlete to know how obscenely painful it can be), and then seeing the Thunder shrug off an attempted comeback, Bryant had a towel pilfere...
Eric Fehr Used Some Kind Of Dark Wizardry To Score This Overtime Winner
I'm especially taken by the screengrab at the top of the Puck Daddy post on Eric Fehr's OT goal that gave the Capitals a 4-3 win over Boston last night, completing a comeback from 3-0. Fehr was all alone entering the Bruins zone, with two defenseman directly in front of him—Dougie Hamilton to his ...
Will The NHL Mandate Visors Before Someone Loses An Eye And A Career?
There's been no update on Rangers defenseman Marc Staal, who left the game after taking a deflected puck in the eye. He did not go to the hospital, which is great news. (The puck appears to have struck just above the soft tissue, in the brow or orbit. It was only a matter of chance and of millimeter...
