The Flaming Lips, Oklahoma City's Only Other Reason For Being, Rewrite 1999 Track to Celebrate Thunder
While the Thunder ponder what might have been in San Antonio last night if they hadn't committed four offensive fouls in the fourth quarter, or if they'd defended Manu Ginobili with something sturdier than hard glares, they can regroup to the flattering sounds of OKC's favorite local psychedelic roc...
Look Mom, No Hands: Home Run Edition
Old Man Moyer will be shaking his cane at kids for days after this one.

Bob Saget Sang The National Anthem At A White Sox Game Yesterday For Some Reason
So, this happened yesterday and...it...wasn't terrible? I mean, don't get me wrong, it's no Whitney at the Super Bowl or Marvin Gaye at the All-Star game, but it's no Carl Lewis at a random Nets-Bulls game, either....

Conor Daly Goes Airborne In Monaco During Today's GP3 Series Race

College Baseball Player Leaps Clear Over The Wall To Make Ridiculous Game-Saving Catch
According to the video uploader, this full-extension-over-the-outfield-wall catch came in the ninth inning with two outs, one man on and Lower Columbia hanging on to a two run lead—meaning, the home run would have tied the game. Lower Columbia's left fielder goes totally horizontal to snag the no-...

The Please-Ignore-Our-Terrible-Movie Club: What It Means When A Movie Isn't Shown To Critics
The big movie opening this weekend is Men in Black 3, as our nation's multiplexes bring us Josh Brolin channeling Tommy Lee Jones and Will Smith asking you to forget that time he committed suicide-by-jellyfish.
