This week, a tag appeared on Twitter for wrestling photos that look so unreal you’d think they had to be Photoshopped.

The app Vine is on its deathbed, which made me think about that Vine where that kid crosses over a baby on a basketball court. Maybe you’ve forgotten about Vine :( But now you remember it. Let’s remember some other Vines:

Raiders punter Marquette King is one of the best at his position in the NFL, landing in the top 10 in almost every major statistical category.

Get ready to start using that sexy little brain of yours, because March Madness 2015: Internet vs. IRL is about to commence. I'm your host, the very cool and knowledgeable one who didn't really get how brackets worked until today.
