Kris Humphries's Worst Year Ever Culminates In "KRIS IS GAY!" Tabloid Cover
As the year-end lists filter in this month, remember this: Not many people have had a more humiliating year than NBA free agent Kris Humphries.

Brooklyn Holds No Allure For Deron Williams, Who Says He Won't Sign An Extension With The Nets
Williams's agent says he plans to opt out of his contract at the end of this season, but that it's just a question of economics. The new CBA limits any proposed Nets extension to two years and $39 million, and he'd rather test the market. Or, he really misses Turkey....

This Is All That Was Left Of David Freese's Jersey After His Bobbysoxer Teammates Got To Him
The Cardinals mobbed Freese in that familiar way as he reached home plate. But, beginning at the 2:23 mark of this video, they also tore his jersey to shreds like those squealing girls whose GI boyfriends were overseas in World War II used to do to Sinatra.

Well-Meaning Nats Fan Breaks Out The "HE'S BACK KKK" Jersey For Stephen Strasburg's Return
I get it. We're all very excited about Strasburg's return from Tommy John surgery, and he did what he could by making one of them a backwards K. But, he couldn't have added an extra K? Or eliminated the space between them and "back?" Or, even better, not had the jersey made in the first place? [DC S...

Who Wins If Deron Williams Goes Overseas?
When the currently out-of-work Williams announced his deal with Istanbul club Beskitas, the instinctual reaction was to chalk it up as a labor victory for the players.
