Found: One University Of Kentucky Prosthetic Leg
OK. So. We have here a prosthetic leg emblazoned with the University of Kentucky Wildcats logo. The leg was pulled in by a shrimping boat in Florida. It appears to be a right leg.

(Semi-silver lining: they have grounded into the fewest double plays, but only because no one's ever on base.) They're not mathematically eliminated just yet, but man, if eve...
How Women Throw Themselves At Pro Athletes (And Vice Versa): A Publicist Explains
I'm a publicist, and I've worked with high-profile athletes for nearly 15 years.

I'm not really a nightlife guy, but there are times when I need to...

Here Are All Of LeBron's Unspectacular 45 Points
Watching a supercut of LeBron James's scores in last night's parquet floorwiping of the Celtics, you're struck at how rote it seems.

LeBron James Destroyed The Celtics To Force A Game 7 (And Got A Beer Dumped On Him)
Oh, this wasn't how it was supposed to be? LeBron James wasn't theoretically capable of delivering a devastatingly effective performance in Game 6 at the TD Garden? Fuck all that.

I'm Worried About Quentin Tarantino's <em>Django Unchained</em>
It'd be difficult to find a bigger Quentin Tarantino fanboy than I am. It's a little embarrassing, actually; I was one of those nerds posting on alt.fans.tarantino dorkboards the year Justin Bieber was born. (The fact that Google archives Usenet forums from 20 years ago is just cruel.) I think Jacki...
