Yankees Fans Boo Picture Of Robinson Cano, Until The Real Cano Shows Up
This is another great gag from Jimmy Fallon, along the same lines as the Matt Harvey prank Fallon pulled on Mets fans. The setup here is pretty simple.

Sonny Gray Fields Liner Off First Base For The Easy Out
Here's a fun thing that happened in yesterday's Mariners-A's game that I don't think I've ever seen before. Kyle Seager lashed a Sonny Gray pitch down the first-base line, only to see his would-be double carom off the base and right into Gray's glove, who was jogging over to cover first on his way t...
Mariners Will Travel 51,540 Miles In 2014, Circle Earth Twice
Over at Baseball Savant, Daren Willman has put together a neat interactive chart that lets you explore how far each team will travel on the road in 2014. The Mariners—who are around 700 miles away from any other baseball team—will travel the farthest total distance at 51,540 miles. That's more than ...
The Mariners Tried To Screw Randy Wolf, So He Walked Away
Veteran starter Randy Wolf asked for and received his release from the Mariners yesterday, the same day he was informed he would make the team's rotation. At issue was a little-known but increasingly used quirk of the CBA, a waiver that makes a guaranteed contract anything but. Seattle tried to spri...
Is This The Best Or Worst Customized Soccer Jersey?
Irfaan Gaffar, who took the photo, believes this customized Seattle Sounders jersey is the worst. I'm not as angry about it. 2 Chainz has been known to kick it like the captain of a soccer team....
MLB Sees First Play Overturned On Review
The first 20 instances of umpires invoking baseball's new expanded review resulted in the call being upheld. But yesterday in Tempe, the replay system finally earned its keep....
Brandon Browner Says He's Been Reinstated By The NFL
Back in December, Brandon Browner was suspended indefinitely by the NFL for violating the league's substance abuse policy after reportedly rejecting a lighter punishment.

One Person In America Was Offended By Richard Sherman
Those post-NFC Championship days were heady times, a nation torn apart by Seahawks corner Richard Sherman being loud on television. But how many Americans were so upset, so scandalized by Sherman's actions that they actually took the time to complain? One person from Arkansas....
Fat Jesus Montero On His Offseason: "All I Did Was Eat"
Once-hot catching prospect Jesus Montero, who was shipped to Seattle by the Yankees in exchange for Michael Pineda (as of two years later, it seems like one of the fairest trades ever made), is now trying to salvage a big-league career. He's not doing a very good job of it. ...

No, Pete Carroll Doesn't Have A "9/11" Tattoo On His Wrist
One photo taken immediately after Super Bowl XLVIII shows an unidentified Seattle Seahawk—with a "9/11" tattoo on his wrist—holding the Lombardi Trophy. One tipster asked if the ink belonged to head coach Pete Carroll, which would be interesting, considering his thoughts on the September 11th attack...
There Is A Lone 49ers Fan At The Seahawks Parade
Twitter user "49er 4 Life" is sending out photos of a man decked out in full Niners gear wandering the Seahawks parade route today. I wouldn't call him "brave," since Seattle is a city of chillbros, but he's certainly unafraid to rep the defending wild card champions so close to the Lombardi Trophy....

The Super Bowl, Reenacted With Legos

Now A Champion, Richard Sherman Deals With An Insult In The Best Way
Previously, we found out that San Francisco quarterback Colin Kaepernick had an excellent method of dealing with people who hated him by favoriting their anger on Twitter.
