Tough Love: Watching Football On TV While Sitting In The Snow
At first glance, it's just a photo of Big Blue fans watching the 1962 NFL title game while seated outside a Connecticut motel, beyond the range of the New York City-area TV blackout. (Green Bay beat the Giants that day at the old Yankee Stadium, 16-7.)...
The Kennedys And Their Goddamn Football, Fer Chrissake
Everyone's talking about JFK these days, and why not? He and his messed-up brothers from that twisted, doomed family certainly had style, even if the lads were — by and large — narcissists congenitally addicted to strange. Style. It's a slippery thing. Here, for example, is a picture of Jack tossing...
This Guy Yells At Girls All Day, But It's Cool
In September 1965, LIFE magazine profiled a man named Bill Horan, a World War II vet who spent his days yelling at young women. That's not all he did, though. He also instilled the sort of character traits one might expect from a former paratrooper — tenacity, discipline, resilience — through cheerl...

The Jubilance And Trauma Of Victory Displayed On One Tennis Court
Today in London a pair of Spaniards took the doubles finals of the ATP World Tour. The emotion David Marrero displays on the left? Triumph, of course. And Fernando Verdasco, on the right? Why, that's triumph as well, albeit laced with relief and exhaustion....
Florida State Running Back Demonstrates How To Run Over A Defender
Turns out, it's a lot like it sounds. The defender's lucky that James Wilder Jr. was close to the end zone, otherwise he probably would have been dragged along for another ten yards or so. Photo by Nell Redmond/AP Images...
Joe Frazier Was Cooler Than Ali. Discuss.
Joe Frazier died two years ago today. Now is as good a time as any to pay tribute to the former champ through a single photograph that best captured the unbridgeable distance between the two premier fighters of the age — a picture made at the very moment when the rivalry between Ali and Smokin' Joe ...
Rafael Nadal's Serve From Second To Second
Nadal's in London playing in the ATP World Tour Finals, where this multiple-exposure picture was taken. We now can see the shift from "okay, toss it up gently" to "NOW MURDER THAT THING!" moment to moment. Photo by Michael Regan/Getty Images...
Maybe This Is Why UCLA Hoops Once Sucked?
It's been two decades since they won an NCAA title. The glory years of John Wooden's titanic career are faded California dreams. But UCLA remains a nationally ranked team each and every season. This 1945 photograph, meanwhile, might help explain why Bruins hoops endured losing records for so many ye...

Taj Gibson Has A Strange Happy Face
It's not every day your backup power forward hits a buzzer beater, albeit to end the first quarter, so we'll cut him some slack if he doesn't yet have the Kobe ice grill committed to muscle memory. Photo by Jonathan Daniel/Getty Images...
Halloween Special: Madness! Torture! Applause!
The legendary Grand Guignol Theater in Paris was not a haunted house, but a serious dramatic enterprise that put on gruesome, faux-blood-splattered shows year-round for decades. It featured staged killings, mutilations and scenes of depravity and torture so realistic that audience members often fled...
'Bron Back
Here's LeBron James blowing by Luol Deng, one of the best perimeter defenders in the league, during last night's 107-95 Heat win. But hey, keep watching, I guess there's a chance he won't win it all again. [Mike Ehrmann/Getty]...
Rare Photos Of Musial Remind Us That He'll Always Be The Man

Sorta Photogenic Man Plays Basketball On Ridiculously Photogenic Donkey

The Washington Redskins, Rebranded: Your Best Submissions
99design's "Rebrand The Washington Redskins" contest ended this weekend, with the logo above (by user Mixaurus) winning the $499 prize.
