There’s something uniquely mesmerizing about this photo. Maybe it’s the look on the guy’s face after he completely missed the ball and it hit him in the nuts — something about that look says, “Good thing I only need one.” Or maybe it’s the reaction of all the fans around the guy — […]
At around 3 this afternoon, Jake Long’s name will be called as the first pick in the NFL Draft. His already negotiated contract makes him the highest paid tackle before he even plays a down. And one time he helped load drywall into my Dodge Intrepid.
My roommate Joe and I were at Fingerle lumber, an […]
Meet Liu Qi. Liu has many hobbies, not the least of which is being the current president of Beijing’s Olympic Organizing Committee, being the former Chinese Minister of Commerce and torturing people (from Truthdig):
In an extensive legal opinion, the U.S. District Court in San Francisco determined that Liu was responsible for the illegal detention […]
You have to admire streakers; it takes an awful lot of courage to get completely naked and run in front of thousands of people knowing it will all end in you being tackled and getting arrested.
That being said, this YouTube clip of a streaker at an MMA match makes me think this guy is more […]
This weekend, the wildly anticipated NBA playoffs began. And while there were some great games, for me, the lasting image is half-Kobe-half-Shaq lecturing me on fear. Though the commercials have been around for a while now, they’ve received heavy rotation during the playoffs. I actually thought the commercials were pretty neat, if a bit unsettling. […]
Travis Hafner has a fantastic nickname. It’s not one of those silly abbreviation nicknames. No, no T-Haf here. No sir, Travis Hafner is Pronk. In the minors, Hafner had two nicknames: Project and Donkey. Project Donkey already being a successful reality show on Bravo, the two names were combined to the sublime Pronk. I find […]
I have no idea what to make of the news that Tommy Lasorda was invited by President Bush to greet Pope Benedict in Washington this morning. Really, I’m still trying to get over the fact that this isn’t even the first Pope he’s met:
“Lasorda, who has frequently been called on to serve in dignitary roles […]
As far as I’m concerned, there is no better equipped football team in Europe, nay, the world, than FC Barcelona. Ronaldinho, Messi, Henry, Deco, Valdez, Xavi, Iniesta, Abidal, Puyol, and on and on, really, woul any professional footballer actually want to play against these guys? Who on Earth could possibly want to mess that up?
Oh, […]
OK, that might be an unfair statement — I don’t really know if those people playing foosball actually designed the table. But as the video shows, they do certainly suck at the sport. Why the people that designed this stunning work of bar-game art (called “11: The Beautiful Game”) chose to showcase it on YouTube […]

Full disclosure: I’m a closet hockey fan. Back in D.C. during the 90s, there weren’t any real quality teams to root for except for the Capitals (and the Orioles, but that’s a subject better left alone). So yes, the Capitals recent turnaround has me a wee […]
Yahoo! may be getting bought out by AOL, but that’s not doing anything to prevent them from warning us of the impending DEATH OF THE WORLD.
Clearly, the Chinese will stop at nothing so that their precious “torch” make it to their precious “Olympic Opening Ceremonies” even if it means stopping God himself should he/she/it decide […]

First impressions are hard. Usually forced, awkward, with all parties just wishing they could somehow just skip getting to know each other and just know each other. You know? Some first impressions are perfect, most are awkward, while some are just completely disasterous. With that in mind, what better way to […]
Earlier today, it was reported that the Dolphins were talking to both Jake Long and Vernon Gholston. Miami has since denied that they were talking to Gholston. Miami still might talk with Gholston, along with Chris Long and Glenn Dorsey. As of right now, though, they are only officially negotiation with Long. The choice between […]
Image details: Protests Erupt As Olympic Torch Relay Winds Through San Francisco served by picapp.com
The Olympic Torch arrived in San Francisco yesterday. As expected, there were a bunch of protesters. The torch was rerouted to avoid anti-China hordes. Many of the protesters waved Tibetan flags, even one of the torch-carriers had a Tibetan flag on […]
Usually, I use the Actual Meaning Translator to find out what athletes really mean. Today, things will be done a little differently. Instead of finding out what Brett Favre meant in his recent quotes, we’ll find out what the Green Bay Packers fans heard.
“It would be hard to pass up, I guess,” he told the […]
Congratulations to the Kansas Jayhawks, NCAA Champions. Mario Chalmers hit a three with two seconds left, taking the game to overtime and creating the enduring image from the tournament. In the extra session, Kansas finished off Memphis convincingly. Memphis was undone in part by their poor free-throw shooting in the final minutes. Luckily for the […]
Ok, so, this disgraced ex-NFL quarterback gets sent to jail. But get this, in jail, he still plays football. But not with pro football players, but convicted criminals! I either picture it as a gritty, dark comedy or a slapstick-filled abomination. And we can even do that based on a true story thing at the […]
