I really understand your beef here, Courtney. I mean, obviously there's a very stringent professional decorum when it comes to girls who skate around on a frozen ice rink wearing next to no clothes, and have no discernable job other than to make drunk, overweight, 45 year old male...

To cure my clinical depression over the state of the NHL these days, here's a classic video of something we'll never get to see again. Ever wonder why fans don't run on the ice in hockey like they might try in baseball or football games (I didn't include basketball...

Phillies outfielder Shane Victorino certainly isn't making A-Rod caliber cash this season, but he's still bringing in at least some turkey bacon with his $410,000 salary. Yet apparently earning almost a half million dollars per year doesn't necessarily mean that one can...

Sportscaster Matt Lorch has the pearly whites and hair that rivals both the Donald's and Vince McMahon's, but apparently looks can only take you so far. Or in Lorch's case, they can take you absolutely nowhere. I think we can safely say Lorch has a wee bit of work to do...

Wow. Good thing Nick Saban still has some friends who are on Accutane and other friends who work in the high school security profession. Otherwise, alienating an entire fan base and lying to your bosses who were paying you millions of dollars to coach their team wouldn't have been worth it.

Hey, I'm not one for bragging about inane skills that won't payoff come game time, but this is just too impressive to pass up (not to mention the fact that it actually did pay off this season). It took me 23 years to even be able to dribble a basketball left-handed; meanwhile...
