Man Pushes Teenager Off Lawnmower, Tebows, Drives Off

Stay Out Of Arthur Ashe Stadium: A U.S. Open Attendee's Survival Guide
Over the last five years, I've spent more than 60 days and nights at the U.S. Open. The early days at the Open can be really, really overwhelming. There's tennis everywhere, and people everywhere, and you constantly feel as if you have to be missing something. Probably the good part....

Wait, The Chiefs Managed To Keep Tamba Hali's Arrest Hidden For This Long?
Earlier today, the NFL announced that Chiefs OLB Tamba Hali will be suspended for one game and lose two game checks. That was all the detail we had. The league's policy clearly dictates four games for performance-enhancing drugs, so it wasn't that. Greg Aiello said the violation "isn't defined speci...

Take A Look At NBC's Feed Of Usain Bolt's Record Setting 100m Performance
Just kidding, don't waste your time. If you want to see the race, you know where to go. In this space, we're going to talk about how pitiful NBC's online product has been. Debate the merits of tape delaying all you like, it's clearly working (or at least not hurting) from a ratings standpoint. To th...
Today In Jose Canseco Tweets As Motivational Posters: Guns
Jose Canseco is now writing a weekly column for Vice. His first essay basically put the gun debate to rest. Guns, like nukes, are not to be used, but rather serve as a deterrent (and not, say, to decisively win a world war) and thus, we should have them....
Kyle Lowry Has His Own Juice Drink And It Is Called Famjuice
Toronto Raptors point guard Kyle Lowry is trying his hand at entrepreneurship by releasing his own line of juice drinks. What makes Famjuice special, you ask? I don't know, but the tagline at Famjuice.com reads, "Reflavor your taste!" which means, uh, something....
Remembering When Bill Russell Played A Corrupt Judge On <em>Miami Vice</em>
I'd love to know the backstory behind this inspired bit of casting. Who is it that looks at a script calling for a corrupt Miami judge and says, "Get me Bill Russell on the phone now!" Indeed, in a second-season episode of Miami Vice, Russell makes a star turn as a crooked judge who pays off gambl...
NBC Also Edited Out A Tribute Featuring Two Dead U.S. Servicemen From Their Opening Ceremony Broadcast
NBC explained that it skipped a memorial to terrorism victims in its broadcast of the Olympic opening ceremony because its show was "tailored for our American audience."

SMU Player's House Burglarized By Prostitute He Refused To Pay
This happened way back in April, the night of the Mustangs' end-of-season banquet, but the police report is just surfacing now.

Pac-12 Football In A Nutshell: Reporter Addresses Coach By Name Of Guy Who Left Ten Years Ago
After the madness of SEC Media Days, the other FBS conferences' pre-season football bazaars tend to be a bit more understated. That doesn't mean there aren't occasional weird moments, like earlier today at the Big 12 media day when Oklahoma State coach Mike "I'm a man! I'm 40!" Gundy was interrupt...

In 1998, Jerry Sandusky Told State Officials And University Police That "He Had Done This With Other Children In The Past"
Allegations of Jerry Sandusky's abuse date back to 1994, but it was only in 1998 that one came to the attention of Penn State officials, and more importantly, the state child services department and University police. On May 3, Sandusky called up the home of the then-11-year-old (the one who would l...
