Shirtless Ryan Kesler Creeps, Eats Pizza Behind Teammate's Locker Room Interview
At first glance this is a routine, fairly boring post-game interview with Canucks forward Raffi Torres. Routine and boring, that is, until his teammate, Ryan Kesler, creeps into the frame and lurks behind the shot — half-naked and eating a slice of pizza. He offers the crust to Torres — that's rig...
Let's Stage A Citizen's Intervention. Here's Charlie's Sheen's Phone Number.
We got a hold of Charlie Sheen's cellphone number (one of them, at least) and distributed it to some people who were desperate to contact him.

Duke/UNC Timelapse Has All Of The Action, None Of The Dickie V
From warm-ups to lights out, an enterprising UNC fan captured the entire ACC regular season decider at 3 frames per second. Ants! They look like little ants! Except for Kyle Singler; he looks like a smug, punchable ant....
Stan Van Gundy: David Stern Is An Enemy Of Free Speech

Where Are All The <em>Two And Half Men</em> Fanboys?
Know what's amazing about this whole Charlie Sheen fiasco? That no one who actually watches Two and a Half Men seems to give a shit that it may never come back.

Greg Jennings Responds To Fan's Religious Experience As Greg Jennings On Madden
Back in October in the virtual realm, Packers WR Greg Jennings scored a 99-yard touchdown on a broken leg in Madden.

The Broken Phenom, The Overzealous Enforcer, And Some New Ammo For The Anti-Fighting Crowd
Try to justify the institution of the enforcer in hockey to an outsider, and you'll likely pull out the usual arguments. It's about protection, about fear, about retribution. So yes, on a basic level, it's about pain. But it's never, never about injury. So with two players still out in the wake of a...
