Whites-Only Basketball League Promoter Is Determined To Make His Point. Badly.
Bomani Jones interviewed Don "Moose" Lewis, the brains behind the controversial all-white basketball league. Lewis does his best to explain how the league is not racist or segregated ("it's like a private club") but not very well. Fascinating stuff. [HardcoreSportsRadio]...

Andy Murray Plays Video Games, Kim Sears Falls Asleep Unfulfilled

He's Just Your Average Octogenarian Bodybuilder Who Will Not Die

David Banks Is Significantly Worse At Long Division Than He Was A Day Ago
I'm trying hard to remember the hardest I was ever hit in the head. It might've been when I was three or four, and the kid down the street struck me right in the coconut with a croquet mallet. Even at an early age, I probably should have been aware that his wielding of a croquet mallet was unsafe...
