Spend A Minute Listening To This Maniac Lakers Fan Scream At Kevin Garnett
"Kevin, Kevin, Kevin!" he shouts. He finds that he enjoys shouting the word, so he does it again, "KevinKevinKevinKevin!" He slows it down, just to see what that might sound like, "Kevin!—Kevin!—KEVVINNNN!" Yes, that was nice. He stops. Perhaps he has pushed things too far, maybe one can only shou...
Teen Falls 45 Feet From Ski Lift After Throwing Snowball At The Chair Ahead Of Him
First, let's mention that this 17-year-old, who plummeted from the chair lift at Ski Santa Fe earlier this month, is OK. Despite being helicoptered from the mountain, he did not require surgery, and was released from the hospital after a few days of observation. Knowing that, we won't feel bad in ...
Mike Tyson's Lawsuit Claims His Financial Advisor Embezzled Money From Him
Earlier this week, Mike Tyson canceled the remaining dates of his touring one-man show. You could assume (and still can) that lagging ticket sales played a role, but this might be bigger: Tyson is suing promoter Live Nation and its financial services firm, claiming his financial advisor embezzled mo...
Flyers-Penguins Is The NHL's Best Rivalry
You could call it hockey for people who don't like hockey, but that's a disservice to those of us who love a good, boring, defensive clinic, and also love Flyers-Penguins barnburners.

Lance Armstrong Still Willing To "Cooperate Fully" With Just About Any Governing Body But The USADA, Including One That Does Not Even Exist Yet

Armstrong, through his attorney Tim Herman, released a statement reiterating his willingness to be "the first man through the door" to help cle...
Baseball's Facial Hair Spectrum
This is it. The very least amount of hair a man can be covered in and still considered to have a mustache and the very most amount of hair a man can be covered in and still be counted among those walking upright and having moved on from dwelling in caves....

Did Derrick Nix Smack Cody Zeller In The Nuts, Or Did Zeller Make Him Do It?
Senior Derrick Nix is Michigan State's team captain, but he's done some pretty uncaptain-like things. Like an offseason arrest for impaired driving and marijuana possession (the latter charge was dropped.) Like offering up bulletin board material when he called Victor Oladipo overrated. And then, t...
Lindy Ruff Fired As Buffalo Sabres Coach After 16 Years
When Lindy Ruff was hired as Sabres coach in the summer of 1997, Nail Yakupov was three years old, Mario Lemieux was the reigning Art Ross winner, and Teemu Selanne was already a veteran. Now, in the middle of his 15th season, Ruff has been fired....
Giancarlo Stanton Got Drilled In The Head With A Fastball
Giancarlo Stanton, the Marlins' best player and only hope of selling tickets, took a ball to the dome during a simulated game this afternoon. The offending pitcher?

This happened over the weekend at the ITTF Kuwait Open (that explains the announcer), but we're just getting it to you now because we assumed you hadn't yet received your Kuwait Open highlights DVD. Sue us....
Pavel Datsyuk Scores Goal After Skating Through Entire Team
This is hockey's version of going coast-to-coast, though with a much greater degree of difficulty. It's the Red Wings' Pavel Datsyuk single-handedly tying the Predators and forcing overtime with 6:30 to play last night in Nashville. Datsyuk ultimately couldn't do it all, though. The Preds went on ...
Adult Race Car Driver Turns Into Pouty Baby During Post-Race Interview
Mike Stefanik is a driver in something called the NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour. I don't really know if the NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour is a big deal or not, but I do know that it involves funny looking race cars. Anyway, Stefanik participated in some kind of race on the NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour ...
The Middle Finger Is A Universal Language
Bayern Munich's 2012-13 season has been a testament to the efficiency for which Germany is known across the globe: stingy defense, making the most of scoring opportunities, and avoiding flash. That strategy has put them well in command of the Bundesliga, and has them a very quiet top contender to w...
Inconsequential Rapper Confronts Inconsequential Basketball Team's Play-By-Play Announcer
On a scale of one to Lil-Wayne-claiming-to-have-humped-Chris-Bosh's-wife, this particular hip-hop/NBA beef rates at about a two. The Toronto Raptors played the Washington Wizards last night, and D.C. rapper Wale was sitting courtside. After watching Raptors forward Rudy Gay hit a three-pointer and ...
The NCAA And Miami Prepare For Battle
The NCAA has always gotten what it wanted. Because it made up the rules, and is the sole enforcer of them, the NCAA has never not been able to push around anyone in its way, be it players, programs or politicians. This time could have been different. After the investigation was screwed up so spectac...
