ESPN Camera Catches Dodgers Fan With "Fuck Boston" T-Shirt
I like it, but the purple-and-gold color scheme makes me think this guy might just be a Laker fan who repurposed this shirt from a past Lakers-Celtics series. If that's the case, then good on him for maximizing the value of his insulting t-shirt....

Here's Alfonso Soriano Celebrating A Home Run He Didn't Hit
This looks like a home run celebration—you always save the bat-toss-transitional-slow-trot-skip for home runs—but it is not a home run celebration....
Cardinals And Chargers Combine For "Boneheaded-As-Boneheaded-Gets" TD
If we're looking at things positively, the Cardinals did two things well on this play and the Chargers did one thing well. Yet it was the Chargers that wound up with a touchdown because the Cardinals also threw in a fuck-up that dwarfed anything the Chargers did....
Rex Ryan Melts Down In Press Conference
