That's One Brave Tennessee Fan
The Volunteers marched into Rupp Arena last night, trying to steal their first SEC win of the season off an inconsistent Kentucky Wildcats squad.

Joe Flacco, The Big-Armed Oaf Who Saved Baltimore
Joe Flacco has played five full seasons in the NFL, and in each one, he has thrown for less than 4,000 yards and completed less than 64 percent of his throws. He has never been sacked fewer than 30 times, and he has never thrown more than 25 touchdowns. Flacco turns 28 tomorrow. He'll be a free agen...

Chris Paul’s Possibly Real Secret Twin Brother, Cliff, Is Now On Twitter
A few weeks ago, you heard about a rumor that Chris Paul had a previously-unknown-to-him twin named Cliff. Well, if Twitter is to be trusted (you make the call), Chris, Drew Brees, Erin Andrews, and others have been tweeting back and forth with the mustachioed, argyle-loving State Farm agent for da...
National Radio Announcers Just Couldn't Believe The Ravens Let The Clock Expire At The End Of The First OT Period
With all of the changes made to the NFL's overtime rules in recent years, anyone can be forgiven for not understanding some of the basics. But one detail that didn't change is what happens in a playoff game at the conclusion of the first overtime period: the teams move to the other side of the fie...
Kevin Durant Dunks All Over Marcin Gortat Because Kevin Durant Is A Cheat Code
It's really not fair that Kevin Durant can do stuff like this. His uncanny combination of size and shooting touch would be enough to carry him to a Hall of Fame career on its own. But Durant also has to possess the kind of sublime speed, strength, and leaping ability that make face-melting plays l...
Taj Gibson Posterizes Anthony Tolliver; Stacey King Enjoys It Immensely
The dunk itself is pretty good, but Stacey King's reaction is even better. This is sort of a thing, I've learned, that King does so maybe you Chicagoans are yawning, but the rest of us can still enjoy his enthusiasm....
Brent Musburger Closed Out Tonight's Broadcast By Saying Holly Rowe "Was Really Smokin' Tonight" [UPDATE]
At this point, you just have to hand it to veteran ESPN broadcaster Brent Musburger. Not only did he let the Katherine Webb controversy just roll off his shoulder, he had enough of the mojo left in him to continue the mackin' brigade. Here's his closing comments from tonight's Baylor-Kansas game, ...
John Wall Had Ish Smith Jumping All Over The Place Tonight
First, Wall literally pump-faked Smith over his entire body. Smith, however, was unfazed. He quickly bounced back and blocked the real shot. Pretty impressive. Later, as the third quarter was winding down, Wall shook Ish out of his shoes and into the Magic bench before dumping it off to Kevin Sera...
Lacrosse Team Pulls Off Hidden Ball Trick To Perfection
Keep an eye on No. 15 Luke Wiles flipping the ball to No. 11 John Tavares at the start of this clip, from Friday's NLL game between Buffalo and Philadelphia. As the two separate after a stoppage in play, Wiles immediately cradles as if he's still got possession. It fools the referee, and it fools ...

The KHL All-Star Game was more notable for the NHLers playing—Ilya Kovalchuk and Pavel Datsyuk took part after getting permission from their American teams, even after Kovalchuk made comments casting doubt on his intentions to return to the Devils this year. (Lubomir Visnovky wasn't an all-star, b...
Dirk Nowitzki Tries To Crash A Video Review, Gets Stonewalled By Awesome Security Guard
I was not previously aware of the fact that there are NBA security guards whose job it is to prevent players from getting too close to the referees during video reviews. But as the video above shows, such security guards do indeed exist, and one of them got into a hilarious tête-à-tête with Dirk N...
Derek Anderson Wants To Kiss And Make Up With Cleveland
Let's go back to the halcyon days of 2007, when an unheralded sixth-round pick named Derek Anderson outplayed Charlie Frye and Brady Quinn to become the Browns starter. Anderson would make the Pro Bowl and win 10 games as he led Cleveland to its best season since Bill Belichick was head coach. Ander...

Metta World Peace Had A Bizarre And Entertaining Chat With Reporters Last Night
The Lakers snapped a six-game losing streak with a 20-point win over the last-place Cavaliers, thanks in large part to the return of Dwight Howard from a shoulder injury.

Let's Watch Lance Armstrong Repeatedly Deny He Used PEDs
Lance Armstrong's sitdown with Oprah Winfrey—which is being taped today but won't air until Thursday—won't have a ton of drama. He's going to admit to doping, and he's probably going to cry. The only reason to watch it is not for the news value, but for the schadenfreude of seeing a man who adaman...
