We Are All Dave McKenna XIX
Here's your daily link to Dave McKenna's brilliant "Cranky Redskins Fan's Guide to Dan Snyder," which we'll be posting until Snyder's dumbass libel suit disappears like a Knicks' roster.

You, Dim PR Person, Are Dumb And Should Be Fired, Part 6: Near-Tragedy Edition

Australian Cameraman Braves Shark-Infested Water To Film A Shark Attacking A Marlin
A couple of Australians sailed out into the ocean to release a marlin back into the wild. That sounds like a nice story, right?

Foolish New York Assemblyman Makes MMA In New York More Dangerous
Way back when (circa 2000), MMA was banned in many states. In the places where it was legal, the bloodsport was regulated with varying degrees of competency. Today, the MMA map looks quite different as sanctioning and better rules have spread across the land. With one notable holdout....
Jim Boeheim Says "Bullshit" A Lot
Boeheim, the Nietzsche or perhaps Holden Caulfield of our time, declares "It's all bullshit." Sure, he's talking about close conference games toughening up his team for March, but we like to believe he's making a statement about the human condition. [via Press Coverage]...
Here's What The Dunk Contest Looks Like Without The Dumb Props
Raptors guard DeMar DeRozan says he is done competing in any "prop dunk contest" for NBA All-Star weekend.

Texas A&M Recruit Jordan Green Eschews Cars, Dunks Over Defenders
Jordan Green, out of Flower Mound High School in Texas, had a pretty epic dunk this weekend. So epic, in fact, that he knocked over a player on the opposing team.

A Utah state trooper pulled over to a car parked on the shoulder of S.R. 201 early Sunday morning — and facing in the wrong direction.

Child Blackhawk Reporter Has The World By Its Balls
Hiring cute children as on-air talent is no longer a meme. It's an affliction. The innocently invasive questions. The gnat-like attention spans. We should be sick of it. But, hell, this little feller the Chicago Blackhawks have working the locker room is still fairly adorable as he talks to player...
Barcelona Players Tripped Up By Language Barrier
The most amusing thing about this jokey dubbed-over video is that it's probably accurate. Ibrahim Affelay is from Holland, the new signing by Barcelona, potentially a good one and clearly not versed in Catalan. Is nobody studying Dutch in grade school anymore?...
Newspaper Actually Photoshops Out Player To Make Play Appear Offside
We take it for granted that our local media outlets are going to be homers, and that's generally fine. We're fans, and we want to get coverage from our perspective. But no one can complain about Hawk Harrelson after seeing how a Spanish paper airbrushed a crucial player from a photo to make an erron...
Super Slo-Mo Dunk Videos Are Actually Quite Beautiful
Credit the NBA for having the most active YouTube channel. But we were taken aback by these hi-res, super slow-motion videos of DeMar DeRozan, Blake Griffin and JaVale McGee in the dunk contest (Serge Ibaka gets hosed again). Set to haunting music, they're simply: art....
