If you were going to pick a day to be a fly on the wall, you could do a lot worse than Oct. 8, 1990, in the dank downtown Seattle basement-cum-rehearsal space where Eddie Vedder, having arrived on a plane from California that morning, sang with Pearl Jam for the first time....

A Handy Timeline Guide To The Ongoing Hack-A-Shaq Saga
A reader, who only wants credit to go to "Colin," has sent in this exhaustive guide to the Hack-A-Shaq saga that we've been dutifully (and somewhat regrettably) following for the past few weeks.

This Is Why You Suck, Lakers Fans
We saw this license plate on Reddit, and we tried to find an alternate explanation. Maybe they thought LeBron would sign with the Lakers. Maybe it's a used car and they got a license plate frame but haven't changed the plate yet. Maybe the guy's name is Louis Bron, and his birthday is February 3rd....

Mets Consider Making Citi Field More Homer-Happy

So the Mets...

Cristiano Ronaldo Gives Fans The Finger, Denies Giving Fans The Finger (Video)
The Real Madrid star at least was honest last week, when he expressed why he feels opposing fans heckle him, thus reinforcing those fans' notion of him as an arrogant prick. Here, he shows his appreciation for all the love, though he later was less than forthright by lamely trying to explain it aw...

Here's Luther Campbell's Lawsuit Against Nevin Shapiro
Uncle Luke already told Little Luke to kiss his ass, but now he's following through with something a little more potent: a defamation lawsuit.
