How Wile E. Coyote Explains The World
A joke has structure. It has a central rule. Setup, punchline. The setup produces a tensed, expectant state; the punchline resolves the tension with a surprise. If the elements of the joke are not arranged into a setup and a punchline, it is not a joke. It is just a statement....
Giant Monster Dunks On Poor Sucker; Poor Sucker Laughs
San Antonio’s “sort of an odd thing” Boban Marjanović (pictured here) is 7-foot-3, very strong, and has hands the size of Manu Ginobili.

Russell Westbrook Ejected As Thunder And Mavs Get Into It
Mavericks-Thunder was never going to be close, not with Dallas resting all five starters after an overtime game the night before.

Stoke City Fans Recognize Bald Opponent On Train, Chant About How He Looks Like A Thumb
This guy up top here is Doncaster Rovers midfielder Richard Chaplow. He came on as a substitute in yesterday’s FA Cup loss against Stoke City, then, at some point, took a train somewhere.

This Is One Dedicated Idiot On The Field
Yesterday’s FA Cup match between Eastleigh and Bolton featured a pitch invader on a mission—one that, despite his obvious interference, didn’t manage to stop play. The referee gave the advantage, and the Idiot On The Field fell on his ass....
This Off-The-Nose Dismissal Is One Of The Most Extraordinary Plays We've Seen In Any Sport
Yes, that headline is accurate.

Yaya Touré Is Way Too Upset About Not Winning African Player Of The Year Award

Dirk Nowitzki Gets Rejected By The Rim, Has A Funny Excuse

Shitty Cricket Man Harasses Female Sideline Reporter
Melbourne Renegades batsman Chris Gayle decided to act like a butthole when sideline reporter Mel McLaughlin attempted to interview him during a game against the Melbourne Stars. Gayle came at McLaughlin with all kinds of cringe-worthy come-ons, and clearly made her very uncomfortable....
Those Jamokes In Oregon Aren't Terrorists, They're Jamokes
The American political lexicon has an appropriate word for the armed men conspicuously loitering in part of Oregon’s Malheur National Wildlife Refuge instead of going home. It is not terrorist or militia or occupation or revolution or movement or front or army or resistance. The word is jamoke. “Get...
Australian Kid Takes On Entire Watermelon At Cricket Match, Loses
