That Craigslist Ad Offering People $75 To Attend The Big Ten Championship Game Was A Hoax
Spencer Hall, who had gotten hold of a response from the hoaxster and initially thought it could be legit, ended up getting to the bottom of it: "The funniest thing was all the damn Spartan and Badger fans who crawled out of the woodwork.

We brought you the preliminary details of this courtship in HOTFUCKINGSTOVE yesterday, but we buried the lead.

This Portrait Of Atlanta Falcon Ray Edwards And LaStarya Thompson Better Be Called "Handful Of Ass"
Tipster Mike S. was kind enough to ferret out this glorious piece of artwork on artist Gabe Richesson's website. In proper form, the Edwards/LaStarya study is five-feet wide and four-feet tall.

You've Always Wanted To See Mike Tyson Sing "Girl From Ipanema" On Brazilian TV, Right?
When exactly did Mike Tyson become this cultural palimpsest? His layers are manifold, his depths eternal. He is all things at once.

The Capitals Axed Lovable "Fat Fuck" Coach Bruce Boudreau
You'll recall that Alex Ovechkin, the supremely talented, supremely underachieving, similarly fat Caps winger, called Boudreau a "fat fuck" after being benched late in a game less than a month ago. Things have not gone well since....
