Oh, No. No, No, No. (Man Gets A Texans Super Bowl Champions Tattoo)
Man, Chris Brown, you are a brave, stupid man. Not only did you get a Texans logo tattooed on your arm, framed by the words "Super Bowl" XVLI Champion. But you shaded the area behind the roman numerals so you won't be able to fix it in the future. Why would you do this, Chris?...

How Contempt For Tim Tebow Caused An ESPN.com Commenter Revolution

Here's Another Cool Scorecard From Game 6
Perhaps World Series Game 6 has faded from your mind, as the series ended Friday night with not a bang but a whimper. But you should recall, in any case, that Game Six was pretty fucking cool.

The Rock Is: Fred Flintstone
Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson dressed as a Flintstone from Bedrock. This works because of, you know, rocks; this fails because Fred Flintstone could never be so freakishly ripped. The John Goodman movie was awful, but John Goodman was the right schlub for the part. Still: credit to The Rock for (possibl...
