Report: Aaron Dobson Benched After He "Mouthed Off" To Josh McDaniels
The fact that second-year WR Aaron Dobson has suited up just once this season is extra-weird in light of the Patriots being woefully short on receivers. A Boston Globe report today may answer that question; it says Dobson has been benched the last two weeks because he's run afoul of offensive coordi...
Here's Floyd Mayweather Being A Dick To A Woman In A Barbershop
Floyd Mayweather is one of the very worst people walking this earth. This new video to pop up on YouTube is of Mayweather in a barbershop in London, getting into it with a woman who claims she doesn't know who he is because she doesn't follow boxing. Instead of being relieved someone doesn't know wh...
Wendy's Pulled Pork Cheese Fries Are The Saddest Meal
This is not really a review of the Wendy's Pulled Pork Cheese Fries; in order for it to function as a review, I would have to go to a Wendy's location and say, aloud, to a Wendy's employee, "I will have the Pulled Pork Cheese Fries," and I can't even rehearse that without my hands literally punching...

Don't Ask Bill Belichick If It's Time To Think About His Quarterbacks
The Patriots were bad, bad, bad last night, getting beaten soundly on both sides of the ball in a 41-14 road thumping at the hands of the Chiefs.

The Wizards Lead The NBA In <em>Street Fighter</em> Hairdos
You'll recall last week, when Washington Wizards center Marcin Gortat unveiled his hard-ass new mohawk 'do and transformed instantaneously from an affable Euro dude into a terrifying Death-Slav from hell.

Former UFC Champ Dominick Cruz Returns From Oblivion, Waxes Opponent
Before last night, Dominick Cruz, the UFC's one-time 135-lb. champion, hadn't fought in nearly three years due to an awful run of injuries.

Thom Yorke Did Not Bypass The Gatekeepers. He Is One.
As of this morning there is a new Thom Yorke solo album in the world, titled Tomorrow's Modern Boxes and available for $6 via BitTorrent. This is cool and good; I heartily recommend you stop using BitTorrent to illegally download pornography long enough to legally check it out, flush as it is wi...
Brewers Eliminated; Fans Left With Sheets Of Useless Playoff Tickets
The Milwaukee Brewers spent 150 days in first place this season, but they did not make the playoffs: the team was officially eliminated after yesterday's 5-3 loss to the Reds.
