Hey, It's Jake Peavy Partying At A Bar In Wrigleyville
White Sox right-hander Jake Peavy was known for doing plenty of partying (see here and here) back when he was with the Padres.

Wilt And Phog, Two Jayhawks Passing In The Night
Forced to retire at 70 years old, Phog Allen landed one last recruit: a tall kid out of Philadelphia named Wilt.

Before He Became Kareem, Lew Had Trouble Finding Pants That Fit
As a sophomore at UCLA in 1967, young Lew Alcindor already had one of the highest verticals in the game, and an inseam to match. (Fifty-one inches, to be precise.) Tailored clothes were the solution to that, but the rest of college basketball had no answer for Alcindor's and UCLA's dominance. The ne...
This Is What It Looks Like When A Baseball Team Takes Cover During A Gunfight

Photoshop Contest: That Jerkoff Kid Behind Doug Gottlieb
We can't stop marveling at the brilliant juvenile hijinks displayed last night at the Kansas State-Missouri game by the young man sitting directly behind Doug Gottlieb, which our own Tim Burke so memorably captured in a .gif we posted this morning.

If you get a chance to pick up last week's Sports Illustrated issue without gagging at the cover, it's worth flipping through to Walter Iooss Jr.'s career retrospective. The photographer has been shooting athletes and swimsuit models for SI for 50 years, and it turns out that he's got as many wonder...
