Report: Jerry Sandusky Still Had Access To A Penn State Internet Account Until Recently
We still don't know why it took the feds three months to initiate their own investigation of Jerry Sandusky, but now that they have, they've subpoenaed a laundry list of financial records, emails, correspondence, computer hard drives, and other documents from Penn State dating back to 1998. It's tem...
A.J. Burnett's Single Greatest Contribution To The Yankees Will Live On
There's still a month before the season begins, and already the Yankees have been able to replace A.J. Burnett's value to the team. No, it's not a WAR-level replacement player. Ha! That's a good joke. I wish I'd thought of it....
Only Kobe Bryant Would Get A Concussion And A Broken Nose In An All-Star Game
As far as NBA All-Star Games go, and that's not very far, last night's edition had just about everything. From the NBA's two best players pacing their conferences with 36 apiece, to the typical shootout devolving into world-class defensive play in the last five minutes, to the NBA saying screw you...

Nicki Minaj Had A Bit Of A Wardrobe Malfunction In The NBA All-Star Pregame
Fresh off her aiding and abetting of M.I.A.'s Super Bowl impropriety and a batshit insane Grammy Awards performance Nicki Minaj got a bit too worked up during the announcement of tonight's All-Star Game lineups, it would seem, and had a falling-out with her undergarment....

This Lil Wayne Appearance At The NBA All-Star Festivities Was Just Weird

Vancouver Canucks Coach Alain Vigneault Can't Stop Laughing And Neither Can We
This week, we have a lighter Vancouver Canucks story for you. Minutes before the end of the first period in the Canucks game with the Dallas Stars, Vigneault starts to laugh uncontrollably—so much so that he hides his face from the cameras....
It's Settled: "Lin-Sanity" Ice Cream Flavor Deemed Racistly Delicious, Ben & Jerry's Apologizes
First, Ben & Jerry's hopped on the Jeremy Lin bandwagon with its "Taste the Lin-Sanity" flavor, featuring crumbled up fortune cookies. Then Ben & Jerry's took a few steps back and swapped the fortune cookies out for waffle pieces after a "bit of an initial backlash" about the fortune cookies. The m...
Next Time Someone Wants To Argue Soccer Is Lame Because Everyone Flops, Play This Video Of Lionel Messi
I don't know if it's the music or the man but there is something hypnotizing about this video of Messi. His legs never stop churning, an observation even more noticeable because they are so small. The word "gritty" comes to mind but Messi is actually, you know, good. [reddit]...
This Is A Three-Quarter-Court Buzzer-Beating Dagger In Double Overtime
The final seconds of this game between Cal Poly Pomona and Cal State Dominguez Hills were enough to give a coach (or fans) a heart attack. Cal Poly hit a three with less than 9 seconds left to go up by two. Cal State then hit a three of it's own following a timeout leaving only .6 seconds on the c...
BBC Tries its Damnedest Not To Show Streaker At Six Nations Match, Shows Streaker Anyway
The Beeb's a paragon of good taste and proper culture, which rather makes you wonder how the Six Nations rugby competition ends up on its esteemed airways. (Or this.) Yet there it is, and in today's match featuring France against Scotland in Edinburgh the BBC found itself face-to-face with a nake...

Cristiano Ronaldo's Latest Goal Was Truly Outrageous
A well-played match to the point by Rayo Vallecano fell to bits when Real Madrid's Cristiano Ronaldo put the Whites up 1-0 with this straight-up stupid blind back heel goal that somehow navigated itself past teammates, defenders, and the keeper. Call it a ¡ozaloG! [ESPN Deportes]...
