Michigan Costumed Vigilante Arrested Following Trailer Park Brawl
Where to begin? Let's start with the Michigan Protectors. The self proclaimed "costumed activists" work to set up neighborhood watches and are part of an online community known as "Real Life Super Heroes."

Scott Hairston Hits For Cycle, Mets Get Clobbered
Scott Hairston did that cool and meaningless thing where a player gets all the different kinds of hits possible in one game. Sadly, it was not a "natural" cycle, an even more meaningless occurrence made remarkable by the order in which the hits are made. The Mets, on the other hand, did that uncool...

Joe Posnanski's Book On Joe Paterno Will Be Finished Before The Sandusky Trial
Joe Posnanski didn't go to Happy Valley to write about the unhappy end of Joe Pateno's life and career. He intended it as an eternal Father's Day gift, a sappy and sentimental picture of the aging lion in repose. It was originally scheduled to be released in time for Father's Day, and Posnanski said...

Rajon Rondo, Magnificent Weirdo, Makes Every Tip-Off A Show
Thank you, anonymous YouTube user and presumed Celtics fan (Update: This guy!) who a) noticed that Rajon Rondo adds a stylish little tweak when he corrals the opening tip of every game, and b) put together a video compilation of some of this season's best. It's the showmanship of the pre-game rout...
This 10-Year-Old Quarterback's Parents Made Him A Ridiculous Blog
Meet 10-year-old quarterback Daron Brydon. He has a blog. DaronQB.blogspot.com, in fact. His blog has plugs from famous quarterbacks about his quarterbacking.

This Is The Face Of A Hockey Player

Do You Deserve That Foul Ball? Consult This Handy Chart
There's some impassioned debate going on in the comments on the post about the couple in Texas failing to surrender a foul ball to the weeping child beside them. What are the real rules, here?

Bobby Valentine Nearly Started The Wrong Lineup Because He Misread His Cell Phone
The Red Sox just completed a sweep of the Twins, thus sparing Bobby Valentine from being harangued again by chowdaheads for at least another day or two. But last night, Bobby V committed a little faux pas that New Englanders will likely cite chapter and verse when they someday tell the tale of his s...

Here's How Racists On Twitter Reacted to Joel Ward's Series-Winning Goal Against Boston
Joel Ward is a light-scoring winger for the Capitals, who was in the right place and the right time to put home the overtime series-winner to send Washington past Boston in game 7.

The NFL May Put The Pro Bowl Out Of Its Misery
The Pro Bowl is pointless. I know this, you know this, the players sure as hell know it, and the league has been trying little tweaks to hold off the inevitable. But playing it before the Super Bowl hasn't helped, nor has holding it in Miami. According to Chris Mortensen, enough is enough, and the N...

Now's Your Chance To Buy The House Rob Gronkowski Grew Up In
The listing describes this "stately colonial" in the Buffalo, N.Y., suburb of Amherst as "fantastic and gracious."
