I’m not saying Cristiano Ronaldo is a cyborg, and if he is he’s probably a benevolent one, but if this wild commercial for some weird, obviously scammy Japanese “exercise gear” isn’t really a behind-the-scenes look at Ronaldo’s morning boot-up process, I’ll buy this stuff and have a six pack in no t...

Ronaldo Returns Lost Phone, Treats Owner And Her Friends To A Night Out
Cristiano Ronaldo is famous for his many, many goals and the selfish way he goes about scoring them.

Canada Win World Cup Opener Thanks To Stoppage Time Penalty

Here Are Some Photos Of Chris Christie Playing Softball

The NBA's Christmas Uniforms Are Actually Great This Year (For Once)
