Terrell Suggs caused a firestorm when he bragged about the Ravens D putting Rashard Mendenhall on IR for the rest of the season and then confidently said that Hines Ward was next.

Marathon Runner Blows Away Field, Receives Bright And Shiny Piece Of Nothing
Foot races are the oldest form of athletic competition there is and even after 4,000 years or so the premise remains the same: Point A to Point B, who ever gets there first wins.

Not Possible!: The Legend Of Steve Buckhantz
You may remember me saying earlier that I'm not a huge NBA fan, but maybe that's because I don't get to watch enough games narrated by Steve Buckhantz. The Washington Wizards play-by-play man is shall we say ... easily excitable. Like Gus Johnson-level excitable. And because this is the way things w...
The Fact That Kimbo Slice Lost is Purely Coincidental
Even though Elite XC said that Kimbo Slice's controversial loss to pink-haired Seth Petruzelli wasn't the death knell for its slipshod fight promotions company, it appears that proclamation was 100% false.

Um, What The Hell, Patriots Fans?
Sorry to start your day off on the wrong foot, but several people have sent this in; a fan at the Monday Night game in Foxboro last night purportedly wearing blackface.

The rumours about Jake Peavy's longing to stop wearing camouflage continue to churn along.

The Greg Oden Picture Guy Strikes Again
You may remember Daniel Shapiro here; he's the Portland Trail Blazers fan who had his picture taken with a remarkably unimpressed Greg Oden on an airliner recently.
