Which Sports Network Wastes The Most Space With Its Scores Ticker?
When ESPN introduced the "BottomLine" as an experiment on its new ESPN2 channel nearly 20 years ago, few expected the feature to become as ubiquitous in sports broadcasting as it has. Today, nearly every cable sports net has its own version of the scores ticker, and in an industry that clings to con...

José Fernández Is Hurt, And We Aren't Allowed To Love Anymore
José Fernández is 21 years old and unquestionably one of the most exciting players in baseball. I use "player" in place of "pitcher" with purpose, because it's not just Fernández's ability to mow down hitters that makes him so much fun to watch; it's the fact that he milks every ounce of fun he poss...

Tom Brady's Kentucky Derby Hat Game Is Nuts; Wilforks Similarly Fresh
Tom Brady's at the racetrack with Vince Wilfork and them today. People are taking photos of him, as is customary, and posting them to Twitter. That in itself isn't really newsworthy. That hat game, tho. Seriously, have another look:...
Homemade Tomato Soup Is Easier (And Better) Than You Think
Kraft Macaroni & Cheese. Totino's Pizza Rolls. Campbell's Tomato Soup. These are all delicious, if corporate and perhaps a touch neon, foodstuffs. No snobbism here: I love these things, and it's pretttty likely that you—yes, you there, you reading this—love them, too. They're comforting. They're eas...

Tomas Hertl Continues To Be Adorable
The Sharks' 20-year-old Czech center Tomas Hertl had a pair of points in his first career playoff game, but I don't really care about that right now. I care that earlier this month, Hertl was introduced to the wonders of Dave & Buster's. ...
The Time Brendan Shanahan Beat Up Some Obnoxious Yankees Fans

Dikembe Mutombo Says "Who Wants To Sex Mutombo?" Never Happened

Everything You Need To Know About Getting A Vasectomy For March Madness
There's a widespread (if unverified) belief that vasectomies increase substantially during March Madness. If you're going to be stuck at home icing your testicles, the thinking goes, why not schedule it around a week you're already blowing off work for the tournament? ...
Zenit Player's Face Was A River Of Blood After Getting Kneed In Head
Unlike Antonio Valencia yesterday, Zenit's Tomas Hubocan was looking more Jake LaMotta than Rocky after Robert Lewandowski opened a vein with an unfortunately well-timed knee to the side of the head. Soccer is a blood sport....
