Sweden Has Rednecks Who Drift Tractors On Rally Courses
This is presumably a Michelin promo video for this weekend's Rally Sweden WRC event in Värmland, but for whatever reason there's video interspersed of a side event which features people drifting their farm tractors.

Bill Murray Is Wearing A Ghillie Suit And Punting Footballs At The Pebble Beach Pro-Am

It's all so ludicrously surreal you may wi...
Everton Upsets Chelsea 2-0 Thanks In Part To This Landon Donovan Assist

Learning The Secret Of Rugby, Nine Concussions Later
I once drank so much weight-gain powder that I couldn't go 40 minutes without peeing. I was an intern in San Francisco, trying to play rugby with the big boys, and working part time clearing tables.
