Local News Anchor Has Thoughts About Lady Gaga's "Jigaboo Music"
Ohio news anchor Kristi Capel was trying to compliment Lady Gaga here, but she somehow was unable to get through her brief thought without saying something racist. The poor guy next to her knows exactly what just happened, even if she doesn't....
J.K. Simmons Uses Oscar Win To Promote Calling Your Parents
As expected, J.K. Simmons took home the Supporting Actor Academy Award for his performance in Whiplash. Simmons's acceptance speech was simple and yet memorable, simply because he told a worldwide audience to call—"Don't text, don't email, call"—a parent, if they have any living ones remaining. ...
Let's Enjoy Kris Letang's Hip Check On David Backes

VCU Fans Successfully Pull Off Fake Shot Clock Countdown
The fake shot clock countdown is a staple in college arenas across the country, but it only occasionally works.

Instagram Guy Gets In Trouble At NFL Combine

Do Not Try And Take A Charge From DeMarcus Cousins
If you look closely, you can see Jae Crowder regret his decision to try and take a charge from a DeMarcus Cousins with 94 feet of built-up momentum, and begin to lean away to the side. Unfortunately, that doesn't prevent him from getting a knee to his chest, or the ball viciously dunked on his head....

Just Stay Down, Man
Humberto Savigne's 420 career fights might have taught him a lesson about staying down after catching a knockout punch. That, or, his 420 career fights (most of which took place over Savigne's amateur years in Cuba) left him unable to know better. Either way... this is ugly. (Savigne's opponent Crai...

The Thunder, Pistons, And Jazz Made A Good Trade
The Oklahoma City Thunder are glad they got rid of Reggie Jackson. Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook are glad; the coach and front office are glad; the fans are glad.

Closed Captioning Goes Insane During Fox NASCAR Broadcast
Reader Doug noticed last night that the closed captioning for Fox Sports 1's NASCAR broadcast "seemed to be drunk."

CNN's Don Lemon Says "Bullshit" On-Air, Offers Ridiculous Apology
Human moron and CNN personality Don Lemon has a lot to atone for, but his use of "bullshit" on-air tonight while talking to Reliable Sources host Brian Stelter isn't one of them. That didn't stop the drooling idiot from profusely apologizing for saying the word—he was quoting Bill O'Reilly, anyway—o...
