ESPN Edits Fart Noise Out Of <em>First Take</em> Re-Air

Again: Bryce Harper's Misplay Was A Blooper, Not An Act Of Heroism
On the wide spectrum of people running face first into walls, Bryce Harper's crash the other night probably fell somewhere between Gus Frerotte and Larry, Curly, and Moe Howard. Harper is an enormously entertaining player who will do many amazing, effortful things in what we hope will be a very long...
It Sure Sounds Like Someone Unleashed A Monster Fart On <em>First Take</em>
OK, so we can't say for sure that this was actually a fart, nor can we say for sure who was responsible for it. But we choose to believe that it was a fart, and that it came from Skip Bayless....
Connnnnnnn! <em>Star Trek Into Darkness</em>, Reviewed.
1. I've never gotten the sense that J.J. Abrams really cares all that much about the Star Trek franchise.

Holy Shit, Look At Jay Mariotti's Shoes
This picture comes to us from a reader who spotted Jay with a lady friend outside of the Club Monaco clothing store in Santa Monica, Calif., yesterday. Our tipster tells us that that Jay was "slumped on a bench" wearing a "sad/pouty look on his face" before his companion emerged and led him inside t...
Boston Bruins Honor Marathon Bombing Victim Before Game 2
Last you saw Jeff Bauman, he was mangled, with a complexion reminiscent of Beetlejuice. Pushing Bauman's stretcher was a man in a cowboy hat who had shredded a sweater to make tourniquets for what remained of Bauman's legs....
LeBron's Fourth MVP Is Pushing Him Into Ludicrous Territory
Reports are swarming that LeBron James will be named the NBA’s MVP for the fourth time in the past five seasons.
