A whole bunch of Twitter eggs took offense with Beyoncé’s Super Bowl halftime performance of “Formation,” which used imagery inspired by the Black Panthers.

Messi Trick PK Sets Up Suárez Hat Trick
Barcelona were so bored with a second-half ass-kicking of Celta that they executed a trick penalty, with Lionel Messi dumping off to a sprinting Luis Suárez—who completed his hat trick with the goal. Cheeky? Disrespectful? Hilarious? All of the above....

Shaq Goodwin T'd Up For Vince Carter Elbow Slam; Memphis Loses To Tulane In OT
Shaq Goodwin’s technical foul late in the first half led to three Tulane points after the Memphis forward drew referees’ ire by hanging on the rim by his elbow, 2000 Vince Carter-style.

Farewell To Viral Internet Man Rick Santorum
