This Is Why You Suck, Lakers Fans
We saw this license plate on Reddit, and we tried to find an alternate explanation. Maybe they thought LeBron would sign with the Lakers. Maybe it's a used car and they got a license plate frame but haven't changed the plate yet. Maybe the guy's name is Louis Bron, and his birthday is February 3rd....

Joe Posnanski's Profile Of Bill James Will Get You Pumped For <em>Moneyball</em>
It's like Sabermetric Christmas: "Yes, he was driven nuts early and often, and he raged back with a sort of funny, blunt and often searing writing that appealed to an audience nobody had realized existed.

NFL Sends Strongly-Worded Memo To Teams Telling Them To Stop Faking Injuries, Please
The league has already said they won't discipline Deon Grant or the Giants for their mysterious incapacitation that just happened to stall the Rams' no-huddle offense on Monday night.
