LeBron's Not Going To Apologize For Kendrick Perkins's Hurt Feelings
When LeBron tweeted about Blake Griffin's dunk destruction of Kendrick Perkins, it gave Perk a sad. "You don't see Kobe tweeting," he said. "You don't see Michael Jordan tweeting." You also don't see Kobe or MJ running to the media to complain that someone was mean to them on the internet....

Jeremy Lin Also Dominates Intramural Flag Football Games
There's just no stopping this Lin fellow. Here he is taking over what appears to be the 2009 Harvard intramural flag football championship between Winthrop House and Leverett House (respect). A two-way threat, Lin can be seen flying all over the field. Just chuck the ball in his direction and let ...
Awful Uncalled Penalty Sets Up Game-Winning Goal Six Seconds Later
Perhaps referees can't be bothered to care when two last-place teams go at it. That's the only possible explanation for the lack of a call on Anaheim's Corey Perry for tripping up Carolina's Jussi Jokinen. It wasn't away from the puck, or in a cloud of bodies, but right out there in the open where...

YES Network Host Bob Lorenz Arrested On DUI Charges, Allegedly Found Slumped Over Steering Wheel At Stop Sign

Those Super Bowl Sniper Photos Are Real
Yesterday we posted photos of what appeared to be a sniper's nest in Lucas Oil Field, home of the Super Bowl, but were at a loss for the pictures' provenance. They're real, and they're basically an ad for the tripod....
The Most Unwanted NBA Tickets So Far This Season: Bucks At Jazz, Jan. 3
Washington Wizards tickets for as low as $2.50! New Jersey Nets tickets for as little as a penny!

Youth Hockey Coach Makes Sick Yo Momma Burn
A minor hockey coach in Timmons, Ontario, was suspended after making some inappropriate comments about a 12-year-old player's mother during a pregame locker room speech. Now, this is definitely not okay, and it was surely mortifying for a young child to be bullied by an authority figure. That said, ...

From now until the end of the season, we'll be posting a number of clips from the previous weekend's English Premier League games.

Kendrick Perkins Says LeBron Is "Always Looking For Attention" Because "He Wants The World To Like Him"
You will recall that Blake Griffin dunked on Kendrick Perkins not so long ago. One rarely dunks on a player of Perkins's height and reputed toughness, so it was a big thing. Kevin Durant said Griffin's dunk was not a dunk—making him the clubhouse leader in petulance—but here comes Perk himself!...

Houston Dynamo Players Arrested After Fight With Off-Duty Cop Say Racism Was A Factor
Houston Dynamo players Tyler Deric and Warren Creavalle were arrested this weekend after a dust-up with an off-duty cop working security at a bar. From Deric's attorney: "Mr. Deric was with other soccer players, some who were African-Americans. The club did not want them coming in . . . He's not gui...

Someone is shopping a videotape allegedly showing Texas Rangers outfielder Josh Hamilton, on the night of his recent relapse, having sex in the bathroom of Sherlock's, a Dallas bar.

Tim Thomas Announces On Facebook That He "Stands With The Catholics In The Fight For Religious Freedom"
OK, so last time Bruins goalie Tim Thomas spoke up on Facebook he received plenty of scorn. (He justified skipping a White House visit by describing, on Facebook, his vague but spirited objection to things the federal government had done.) Will Tim Thomas back down? No, Tim Thomas will never back do...
