Here's An Old Photo Of Dan Marino Doing Yoga With Some Really Hairy Guy Who's Only Wearing A Speedo
Yeah. We had the same reaction. All we know about this photo is that it was taken in April 1994. There's no unseeing it now, so you know you're going to click here to get the full effect. Just so much going on in this image. Like, what's with those heat lamps?...
Greg Oden Will Try Another Comeback, And The Heat Are Interested
Greg Oden is the NBA's Greek tragedy—a body outwardly designed for basketball dominance, but with an internal structure woefully insufficient for the task. Oden hasn't played since his patella attempted to escape in 2009, and underwent his third microfracture surgery on his knees in February. He's b...

Steelers RB Chris Rainey, Who Once Texted "Time To Die Bitch" To A Woman, Arrested For Allegedly Slapping His Girlfriend [UPDATE]
Oh, look. It's another Pittsburgh Steelers player being an outstanding citizen. (Hold your fire, Steelers fans. I'm one of you. Even wore this during my commute to work today. I'm also well aware of the franchise's fine tradition of not once making the playoffs only once* during the first 40 seasons...

Tracy McGrady Threatens To Leave China, Gets Suspended For Calling Refs "Three Blind Mice"
Why is Tracy McGrady still just 33 years old, when he should totally be in his late 40s? The second act of T-Mac's career is taking place in China, where last we heard, he was getting into fights and getting diarrhea and just generally not having a good time. Wednesday's game, where McGrady's Qingda...
<em>Lincoln</em> Hogs: Grierson & Leitch's Rapid Reaction To Today's Oscar Nominations

Sammy Sosa Has The Best Pinterest Page Ever
I can't even. This is amazing. Sammy Sosa is making an effort to get his name back out there, and that includes joining social media. He set up a Twitter account in October (it's confirmed as him), and a few weeks ago joined photo sharing site/social network for middle-aged women Pinterest. So forge...
The Jaguars Have Fired Mike Mularkey
The Jaguars' Mike Mularkey—who was the NFL's interim least-interesting head coach after Pat Shurmur's firing on Black Monday—finally got the axe today. Jacksonville had spent the days immediately after the season's end hunting for a new general manager, and they hired Atlanta's David Caldwell on Tue...
Who Was On The Ballots Of The Hall Of Fame Voters Refusing To Go Public?
For just the second time, the Baseball Writers' Association of America has given its voters the option of having their Hall of Fame ballots made public.

"How Much Do You Blame Jay Cutler For RGIII's Injury?" Was An Actual Topic Of Conversation On <em>SportsNation</em>
ESPN's SportsNation relocated to California a few weeks ago, but it seems the absurdity of the program didn't depart along with the WWL's top sociocultural critic. We're sure this conversation was chock-full of unique and intelligent insights....
Jamaal Franklin Goes Off The Backboard At Full Speed For This Dunk Of The Year Candidate
Will any other dunk during the 2012-13 college basketball season eclipse this insane moment of instinct, confidence, and sheer ballsiness? The correct response, almost assuredly, is "no." And by the eighth or ninth time you watch this, check out the Fresno State players' heads turn in every concei...
Wyoming Falls From The List Of Unbeatens As Boise State Hits Buzzer-Beating Three-Pointer To Win In Laramie
Wyoming's been perhaps the most under-the-radar undefeated team this season—high-flying Larry Nance, Jr. notwithstanding—and came into tonight's home matchup against Boise State with confidence they'd advance their record to 14-0. Of course, this has been one of Boise's best seasons in ages, enter...

Chaps Don't Get A Fella What They Used To: We Predict The 2013 Academy Award Nominees
Thursday morning, Seth MacFarlane and Emma Stone will get up about seven hours earlier than they usually do to announce the nominees for the 85th Academy Awards. This will be stupid and pointless and watched by millions of idiots, myself giddily among them. The Oscars are dumb, but as far as awards ...

Which NFL TV Markets Got Stuck With The Worst Games This Season?
People often split up NFL fanbases by state. As in: Michigan=Lions, Wisconsin=Packers, Illinois=Bears. There are two reasons for this. First, it's easy. We're used to looking at maps and dividing stuff up along state lines (like electoral votes). Second, most major college sports are dominated by la...
