North Korea Is Another Year Closer To Soccer World Domination
On the eve of the World Cup, North Korea's FIFA ranking is holding steady at 137, which sounds pretty bad until you remember that places the North Koreans ahead of fully 70 other countries, unincorporated territories, protectorates and, in the case of No. 177 Curaçao, even an overachieving liqueur. ...
Danny MacAskill's Balls-Out Biking Begins In The Gym
In 2009, Danny MacAskill lit up overnight with the YouTube release of his Inspired Bicycles part. At 23, he'd emerged as the face of street trials riding, a blend of BMX and mountain bike in urban environments. It was visionary and it was bone-breaking, and he'd just broken himself pretty badly....

An Ode To Sleeping Children
I had to look after all three of my kids by myself this weekend, and when you are alone with children for that long, you are so put-upon that your memory stops working. I can't even recall what happened over those three days, because my brain went into Safe Mode and was like, NOPE. I'M NOT STORING...
Russell Westbrook To Kevin Durant: "Wake Up"
What we have here (via CJ Fogler) is an excellent opportunity for projection.
