Dear MSG And Time Warner Cable: Eat A Bag Of Salted Dicks

Mark Sanchez Asked Santonio Holmes To Be His Valentine On Twitter Last Night
So noted greaseball Darren Rovell tried to steal Mark Sanchez's alleged valentine, Kate Upton, away. Presumably the Sanchize took this personally, offended that his belle would even loiter for minutes in the company of a charlatan like Rovell....
Jeremy Lin Hits Game-Winning Three-Pointer With 0.5 Seconds Left

Man Who Owns Linsanity.com Tried To Trademark "Linsanity" Last Week, Wasn't Fast Enough
When last we heard of Andrew Slayton, he was selling Jeremy-Lin themed t-shirts for $16 on his website.

This Division II Player's Dunk Is One Of The Best You'll See This Season, At Any Level
That's Cal State San Bernardino's Kwame Alexander taking off with two feet just before the free-throw line and basically dunking over a defender from Cal State Stanislaus on Friday night.

Here's What It Looks Like To Accidentally Flip Your Dirtbike While Wearing A Head-Mounted Camera
We don't have a lot of information on this video, other than that it stars someone named "Junior" who pulls a wheelie while riding his Yamaha YZ450F with some buddies and accidentally flips his bike all the way around. "New tires" are blamed, and the GOPRO camera catches everything—including Junio...
Melo Says Jeremy Lin Is "Like A Dream Come True" For Him
Talk radio callers and internet people alike are foretelling doom regarding Carmelo Anthony's return to the Knicks later this week. He'll need to share the ball with Jeremy Lin, the Socratic ideal of a point guard. (The ideal point guard shoots it all the time and turns it over a bunch, right?) The ...

Cristiano Ronaldo Seals Hat Trick With Sublime Strike
You are unlikely to see as perfect a soccer goal as this for a very, very long time. Cristiano Ronaldo, who's hoarding goals at such a clip it's as if he's trying to make every Spanish soccer fan forget the name Messi forever, finished a natural hat trick against Levante with this shot, his 119t...
Did Dirk Nowitzki Shout "Fucking Faggot" After Hitting The Shot That Locked Up Tonight's Mavericks Win?
We're not entirely sure what it is Dirk Nowitzki shouts after hitting the dagger to ensure tonight's 97-94 double-OT win over Portland, but it sure looks like the same thing that earned Kobe Bryant an unprecedented $100,000 fine last season....
Sweden Has Rednecks Who Drift Tractors On Rally Courses
This is presumably a Michelin promo video for this weekend's Rally Sweden WRC event in Värmland, but for whatever reason there's video interspersed of a side event which features people drifting their farm tractors. I've never seen this before, and I come from farm country where it snows a whole l...
"He Should Wear Leather Pants": Metta World Peace Has Some Fashion Advice For Jeremy Lin
Linsanity met some real insanity last night at the Garden.

And, like much of what's floating around inside the...
On His Blog, 15-Year-Old Jeremy Lin Imitated The Headband Fashions Of NBA Players, Including Derek Fisher And Ben Wallace
What appears to be New York Knicks superstar Jeremy Lin's Xanga—chinkballa88.xanga.com, naturally—popped up on Reddit earlier this week, but somehow we missed it, and now it's password-protected. Drat....
