Is It OK To Watch Your Friend's Sex Tape?
I was horsing around with one of my kids last night and she started doing jumping jacks, so I did a jumping jack too and HOLY SHIT NEVER DO JUMPING JACKS. I forgot that, as you grow older, your balls drop lower and lower. And so doing a jumping jack is basically akin to putting two baseballs in a pl...

Weightlifter Matthias Steiner Dropped 432 Pounds On The Back Of His Head, Somehow Got Back Up
German weightlifter Matthias Steiner claimed gold in Beijing, but faltered today in the most painful manner while attempting to snatch 196 kilograms, just over 432 pounds. While Steiner's cleared 200kg in the snatch easily before, he was unable to clear the weight today—leading to a moment so sca...
Here Are Andy Murray's Adorable Puppies Wearing His Olympic Medals, Because Puppies
This comes via the Twitter account of Maggie May Murray, the Border Terrier of Olympic tennis champ Andy Murray. (Or maybe it's actually Murray's human girlfriend running the account.)

This Is Not How You Want To Dive If You Are An Olympic Diver
Meet Stephan Feck, an Olympic diver from Germany. Stephan Feck likely has a very big red mark covering his back right now, because something went horribly wrong when Mr. Feck tried to execute a forward three-and-a-half somersault during one of his dives. That sounds like a really hard thing to do,...
No, Boner Rower Does Not Have A Boner: A Gay Man's Remedial Guide To Penises For Straight Guys

The Nationals Bunted In The Winning Run From First Because The Astros Played Defense Like Morons
I had to watch the video below twice just to make sense of how mind-bogglingly terrible the Astros were on this play. After Roger Bernadina led off the 11th with a single, the Nats were simply hoping to have Kurt Suzuki bunt him over to second. But that's when the Astros went to work, and just look ...
That's Not A Boner, Says Boner Rower
Over the weekend, the American team took bronze in the men's coxless four rowing event. But at the medal ceremony, you could be forgiven for ignoring the first- and second-place teams, and indeed three-fourths of the U.S. team. Instead, all eyes were on Henrik Rummel. (Rummel and his penis are secon...
What Is Greg Louganis Doing?
Greg Louganis swept the springboard and platform golds in both 1984 and 1988, and dropped by last night's diving competition to take in the sights. But what is he doing here? Here are some things Greg Louganis might actually be doing here....

Vin Scully's Bowdlerized Translation Of Jim Tracy's Meltdown Tonight Is One Of Broadcasting's Great Moments
Dodgers broadcaster Vin Scully is a national treasure for myriad reasons, but we saw just one facet of his abilities tonight, when umpires declared a liner off Shane Victorino's bat to have been trapped by Rockies center fielder Dexter Fowler. It would have been the third out of the inning, and it ...

The goal came 2:30 i...
Usain Bolt Outruns Human Nature
Usain Bolt, as winner of the 100 meter dash, receives the title "the world's fastest man." It carries a mystique unlike any other. Nobody cares about the world's best hammer thrower, or the world's best trampoliner. But running is different. Running speaks to something essential—no tools or equipmen...
Curtis Martin's Hall Of Fame Speech Was Actually Pretty Touching
The Pro Football Hall of Fame induction weekend isn't much of a treat. The color palette is too mustardy. The proceedings bore even their attendees: Last year, John Elway texted during it. The game that follows it inevitably features a short series from the first-stringers before they yield to slo...

When Great Britain And Ireland Meet Up In Women's Boxing, You Can Bet Somebody's Getting The Snot Punched Out Of Them
Boxing's been an Olympic event since 1904, but you won't see any boxers from the olden days showing up under the Irish flag because back then Ireland had yet to recover its freedom. While things have calmed down somewhat since The Troubles, a sports rivalry will likely always exist between the Br...
