The Vikings Sex Boat Is Back On The Water
The Minnetonka Queen is no more. The 64-foot Skipperliner, which infamously hosted a Vikings sex party in which Fred Smoot used a double-ended dildo on two call girls, has been laid up in drydock for far too long.

ESPN's X Games are slouching toward Foz do Iguaçu in Brazil, the first of three new international host cities, where competition begins next week and where staffers are arriving to find that their mellows have already been thoroughly harshed.

Last October, Steelers nose tackle Alameda Ta'amu got wasted and decided to play bumper cars with several parked vehicles on Pittsburgh's South Side.

Brendon Ayanbadejo Is "In Talks With A Handful Of Players Who Are Considering" Coming Out Of The Closet
It's perfect that the first NFL players to come out of the closet—indeed, the first active players in any North American sport—will do so after a protracted negotiation that resembles collective contract bargaining, except with less salary caps and signing bonuses and more public declarations of sex...

Hockey Player Who Got His Femoral Artery Slashed Open Has Ridiculous Scar
Back in February, Winnipeg Jets defenseman Zach Redmond nearly died when his femoral artery was accidentally cut open by a teammate's skate during practice.

Brendon Ayanbadejo Was Cut Because He's Old And Expensive, Not Because He Supports Gay Marriage
The Ravens released linebacker Brendon Ayanbadejo yesterday afternoon, after five seasons in Baltimore. Ayanbadejo spent most of his tenure on special teams, and never once made the kind of news for his play that he did for his vocal support of a Maryland same-sex marriage ballot initiative. So mayb...

Danny Boyle Mesmerizes Himself. <em>Trance</em>, Reviewed.
For director Danny Boyle, anything worth doing is worth overdoing. With each genre of movie he makes, you get the sense that he wants to be sure it's the most demonstrative of its kind ever. Trainspotting was the druggiest movie ever. 28 Days Later was the zombie-iest movie ever. Slumdog Millionaire...

The Triplets From <em>Baby Geniuses</em> Will Play College Hockey Together
I don't need to remind of you Baby Geniuses, one of the all-time great Oscar snubs. (American Beauty won that year, which, *fart noise*.) Some babies get smart, and get up to hijinks, and Dom DeLuise is in it, and it's all held together by the star turns of the Fitzgerald triplets, playing separated...

Andre Drummond Air Balls Two Free Throws In A Row
OK, we should cut Drummond some slack here. This was only his second game back after missing 22 games with a back injury, so he was probably feeling a bit rusty. And hey, at least the second one grazed the net. ...
