Tebowing In The Age Of Lin: A Complete-That-Caption Contest
When tipster Taylor B. sent this photo in at 8:38 p.m., Feb. 14, 2012, he did two things wrong. First, he wrote, "Trust me, my mom thought this was actually a really sweet idea," and that's nothing but a preemptive strike.

Will The Future Of 3D Sports TV Ever Come Into Focus?
Mario Manningham's sideline catch in the Super Bowl was a virtuosic use of space. But the only way to watch it was in two dimensions.

We did a post yesterday on Richard Nixon's 1972 efforts to forever sustain the NFL's policy of blacking out teams' home games in their local markets.
