Miami Dolphins Fans Are About To Be Even More Unbearable
Before anyone barges in here with pitchforks and gunpowder, please remember that I am a Miami Dolphins fan and I’m incredibly bitter about my favorite NFL team’s struggles. That said, I’m not exactly on the same page just yet as the people who are behind the new website, Manning To Miami.
In case you’ve been living under Chad Henne’s helmet, there’s a strong possibility...
This Cubs Fan Is Just So Darn Sneaky
I guess if you’re a Chicago Cubs fan, you’ll look for any reason to be excited about the team’s 103rd rebuilding effort in the last 104 years, so it comes as little surprise that one North Sider is pretty proud of himself after pulling one over on the Boston Red Sox. Cubs fan Eric Engelman (above) is getting some love on the webs this week for a moral victory of sorts after...
He Spits, He Scores!
Or, “Capped teeth”. Maybe, “talk about a mug shot!”
In a video that is equal parts awesome and cringeworthy, Caps center Mathieu Perreault scores an otherwise unremarkable goal during Wednesday night’s game against the Ottawa Senators by deflecting the puck into the net with his mouth. Specifically with his tongue. Specifically, what?
“My tongue was out, so it bounced...
The “Chink In The Armor” Guy Wants You All To Know He’s Super Sorry, OK?
Take a wild guess.
In case you weren’t aware, ESPN loves Jeremy Lin. The New York Knicks point guard was mentioned something like once a minute on SportsCenter every day last week. So of course if someone at the Worldwide Leader f*cks up a story or report about Lin, that person will pay the price. For instance, Anthony Federico wrote a questionable headline regarding Lin and the...
Don’t Let Theater Kids Blog About Sports
By way of nearly everyone with a working index finger and a knowledge of our tipline this morning comes Jeremy Lin The Musical, wherein a guy whom I’m just gonna assume is Bobby Lee from MadTV plays “Jeremy”, a down on his luck Asian gent who tries to join the local basketball club, only to be taunted and rejected by the its multi-cultural members.

Let Teddy Win (At Hockey)
I almost went with “n/t” for the body of this, but here goes.
Baseball season is upon us (f**king finally), and to celebrate, I wanted to find the perfect video to encapsulate how the arrival of pitchers and catchers to Spring Training and the onset of Our National Pastime makes us feel as a people. What I’ve decided on is this clip (courtesy of Sportress Of Blogitude) of...

The week that was in the NBA (in pictures)
I was hoping that by this point in the week I’d have some fun little anecdotes to share about how Orlando is shaping up for All-Star Weekend, but short of about 60 more homeless people than usual and some banners, I haven’t noticed much yet. In fact, I’m mega bummed, you guys. My buddy got me on the guest list for Diddy’s All-Star party this weekend and I was super pumped...
Dana White Says What Anyone Who Has Ever Talked To Floyd Mayweather Is Thinking
UFC president Dana White is a polarizing guy who probably doesn’t share a lot of my opinions on things (for example, I’m guessing he doesn’t weep throughout the entirety of The Land Before Time), but he’s got a way of cutting through the bullsh*t and making some astute (if not totally obvious) points about sports, including:
1. Jeremy Lin deserves at least a good amount...
This Is Probably Not The Quickest Way To Kate Upton’s Heart
I’m pretty sure that if I somehow ended up in the same elevator as Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue cover model Kate Upton I probably wouldn’t be able to say much more than, “HELLO PRETTY LADY!” before I pissed my pants and fainted, so forgive me if the thought of waiting at the airport in a crowd of dudes is a bit nonsensical to me. But that’s the life of our favorite...
UFC 144: Edgar Vs. Omega Shenron
And here I thought a parody of the Brady Bunch theme was how they’d make me an MMA fan.
Please enjoy this Japanese promo for UFC 144: Edgar Vs. (Florence?) Henderson, which combines South Park’s “Let’s Fighting Love” with animated fight footage and some tried-and-true anime tropes — giant eyes, speed lines and ring girls straight out of Magic Knight Rayearth.

LeBron James Should Have Hired This 8-Year Old Kid To Handle His PR
"I can't hear you, 8-year old boy LA LA LA LA LA LA!"
This year’s NBA All-Star Slam Dunk Contest has very few people excited. With a lineup of Derrick Williams, Paul George, Chase Budinger and Iman Shumpert, who will provide the most excitement based solely on his lob partner and New York Knicks teammate, Jeremy Lin, this contest will rely heavily on creativity and...

How Not To Knock Someone Out With A Kick
I’ve watched this video a few times, trying to figure out how landing on your arm from like two feet up can knock you out, and yeah, the jolt of a fall can do crazy things to your brain and all, but I think it was shame that knocked him out.
Cage Potato is a great place to find MMA and boxing knockout videos of varying believability, but this is my new favorite — Jeremie Capony...
Jason Campbell Out Indefinitely With Cold Feet
According to his wedding website, free agent quarterback Jason Campbell was quite excited to marry his longtime, on-again/off-again girlfriend, Jenny Montes, at the Paradisus Palma Real in the Dominican Republic. Campbell’s massive wedding party included other NFL players like Ronnie Brown, Carlos Rogers, Jacoby Ford and Louis Murphy. Somewhere, Cadillac Williams shed a single...
3-Year Old Timberwolves Fan Loves Nikola Pekovic, Named His Hamster Wicky Wubio
In direct emotional contrast to Lamar Odom watching Khloe Kardashian’s monster body collapse in a sex swing, here is an absolutely adorable video by way of The Basketball Jones of 3-year old Minnesota Timberwolves fan Chase explaining that his favorite player is Nikola Pekovic, he named his hamster Ricky Rubio and, in a total Chauncey Gardiner moment, says his favorite thing to...

A while back I thought it might be fun to watch Khloe & Lamar and recap it for our readers and after a whopping two episodes I gave up, because there was only so much I could take of scripted love and Lamar Odom’s best friend, Jamie Sangouthai, who it the real life Turtle from Entourage. You guys could have threatened my life for not providing recaps anymore and I would have...
The Alabama Basketball Troll Went Linsane
You may not know Jackson Blankenship by name, but you’ve definitely seen him by now. He’s the heckling Alabama basketball fan with the bitter beer face mug and the oversized copy of his face that was recently caught behind the basket, tormenting University of Florida players. He’s a simple man with simple goals, according to his Tumblr profile:

Dwarf Bullfighters Dressed As Superheroes? Only If They’re Respected.
Via the Huffington Post today comes a story of triumph in the face of adversity, as Franklin Marcano and Gustavo Murillo are Mexican bullfighters looking for respect in their sport that has long been a source of controversy. Also, they’re dwarfs, so people really don’t take them seriously. But they’ve been fed up with being seen as a novelty act for the past few years and...
Kobe Bryant Is Still Losing A Lot Of Money
I was so busy sending free back rub coupons to Emma Stone on Valentine’s Day that I forgot all about Kobe Bryant and his wife, Vanessa, being caught on camera as they shared this smooch at a Los Angeles Lakers game.
That got everyone wondering, “Holy crap, is she going to forgive him for allegedly cheating on her with Playboy model Jessica Burciaga?” And apparently the answer...
Just How Athletes Should Be Honored… By The Cartoon Network
"First the Cartoon Network Awards, then a Nobel Prize!"
Last summer, while both the NFL and NBA were locked out, I questioned why more athletes weren’t attending the Teen Choice Awards to try and gain a little favor from the public. Seriously, the athlete attendance was limited to Shaun White and 3 puppies from Air Bud’s litter, while half the NBA sat at home picking...
