Giant Pigeon Spies On Oregon Football Practice

Why Did The College Wrestling All-American Shoot The Duck?
This story is a couple of weeks old, but it somehow escaped the attention of our Ducks Desk.

Mark Cuban Stars In The Official Photograph Of Rich White Men
Mike Fuentes of Bloomberg captured this perfectly timed photo of Mark Cuban on the courthouse steps last week, yukking it up minutes after being found not guilty cleared in an insider trading case brought by the SEC.

Mo Cheeks's Ladyfriend Found Lipstick On A Glass, And Things Got Ugly
Last month, there was a brief, odd report that Pistons head coach Maurice Cheeks was involved in some sort of domestic dispute, but would not be charged.

Oregon Fan Really, Really Didn't Like The Ducks Wearing Pink

Oregon Coach Sorry For Calling Out Mike Leach's "Low-Class Bullshit"
Washington State quarterback Connor Halliday set the FBS record for most pass attempts in a game on Saturday in a blowout loss to Oregon.

Greg Schiano Tried To Kick A Buccaneers Hero Out Of Practice
You might think a Schiano Man would see Super Bowl MVP Dexter Jackson taking in Bucs practice, not recognize him, and kick him out. You'd be wrong. A Schiano Man sends someone over to kick him out....
Check Out Oregon's Pink Uniform Schemes
The Oregon Ducks steamrolled Washington State 62-38 Saturday night, and they looked aesthetically pleasing doing it, donning pink accessories for Breast Cancer Awareness Month. It must be fun to play on a program with an infinite uniform budget. Even coach Mark Helfrich wore a pink polo....

This Is The Best Fake Law Firm Name We've Ever Seen
We're obviously fond of Parks & Recreation around here—what with FJM's Ken Tremendous being executive producer and all—and tonight's easter egg of a law office name, undoubtedly the work of our pal who goes by Michael Schur these days, was fantastic....

The Fun-Hating Spurs Threw Just One Alley-Oop Last Season
The chart above, based on data from NBA Stats, shows the number of alley-oops each team has thrown in the last two regular seasons. No surprises at the very top, although it's nice to see the mediocre/bad Blazers, Hornets, Timberwolves, and Wizards crack the top ten....
