YES Network Host Bob Lorenz Arrested On DUI Charges, Allegedly Found Slumped Over Steering Wheel At Stop Sign

This Looks Like A Fortified Sniper's Nest At The Super Bowl
Some photos with no backstory are making the rounds, showing what appears to be an Indianapolis police sniper checking out his post in the rafters of Lucas Oil Stadium in the hours or days before the Super Bowl, a post that would be manned when the game began.

The Pittsburgh Pirates Are Pretty Much Willing To Give Anyone A Tryout
Per Jim Bowden, they've invited Dmitri Young to their spring training complex for a workout next week. Dmitri Young. He's 38 and hasn't played a big-league game in four years. I half-expect the Pirates' next move to be ... oh, never mind. [WHYGAVS]...
The Giants Parade, Through The Lens Of A Guy Who Got Kicked Out Of It
I am a Giants fan, but I'm also fascinated by the human condition, and I happen to think nothing is more fascinating than a million people brought together by nothing more than a football team and the rare socially acceptable opportunity to get drunk before breakfast. It was with this in mind that I...

This is from last night's Raptors-Wizards game. Please keep an eye on JaVale McGee. He's the fellow who first goes backward between the legs (impressive), then throws up the ball within an area code of the hoop (less impressive), then goes tearing down the court while the Wiz still have possession...
