Many people who have seen the cover of the latest issue of Vogue, where LeBron James grasps a Bundchen in distress, have had a similar reaction: LeBron seems posed like King Kong warding off bullet-spraying prop planes. The Huffington Post has unearthed what definitely seems to be the cover's inspiration, a WWII propaganda poster. While the original was controversial for other reasons, it definitely seems like this cover has some racist elements. What do you think?

A middle aged British guy won $2mm on $1 horse racing bet. Yes, it was a sucker bet and yes, this guy got really damned lucky. Now, where's the nearest off-track?

This is old news, but it'll give you some insight into the man Sidney Crosby, and maybe into how negotiations in sports work. In July, Crosby signed a contract extension with the Penguins that pays him $8.7mm per year. The salary number is meaningful -- Crosby was born on 8/7/87, and wears No. 87.

"I was right around that ballpark, so I said I might as well go 8.7," Crosby said.

His agent was overheard telling Crosby to change his number to 15.

Gilbert Arenas announced his GilIIZeros (that's pronounced "Gil 20's") on his blog at NBA.com. In summary, they're going to be dope. Adidas will release 20 versions of the kicks, many in strictly limited colorways.

The black and golds look hot, and I can't wait to see what else they're coming out with.

Did you guys know that the Goldmans bought the rights to OJ's book, "If I Did It."? Then, they tacked on the subtitle, "Confessions of a Killer," and now they're set to make a sweet penny from it.



Oh, and OJ tried to steal back the Heisman Trophy that he sold. Or maybe not, but that would be hilarious.

Some genius discovered that John David Booty is ripe for a grassroots.... er... assroots campaign to win him the Heisman Trophy. Post a pic of your buttcheeks to join the revolution.

And if you think that's scandalous, check out what some scalpel-wielding freaks in Ann Arbor are doing at Hearts4Hart.com. Not for those with weak stomachs.

I posted this video last year, but it's time to bring it out again, if only to get a little moral support behind the Cubbies as they attempt the improbable this post-season. Enjoy.

Who wants to wash her mouth out with soap?

If you're Michael Jordan, chances are you know how to grind. If you're in Cabo San Lucas, chances are the girls you're grinding with are only drinking beer legally because it's Mexico. If you're Michael Jordan in Cabo San Lucas, you should have your people confiscate all cameras within a 100 yard radius.

If you want Carmelo Anthony's autograph, I suggest you send a self addressed, stamped envelope to the Nuggets' front office. Melo's entourage doesn't mess around.

Also, the first photo in this story is priceless.

Happy Friday baseball fans! As you plan your weekend or a summer roadtrip, consider the contents of this video carefully. It's not just about the teams, it's about the fans of the teams, and if there's any truth in this, your choice of who to root for should be crystal clear.

Rumor has it Michael Jordan spent some time down in Cabo trying to pull some coeds, but walked away empty handed. Is life really over for Michael Jordan? I never would have expected this to happen, but has MJ become a creepy old guy?

You're welcome.

Dude, the Onion may be the best sports site out there. These photos are hilarious.

Although I was shocked that the description of trying to find Waldo while drunk didn't include any puking or fire, I loved reading this. It reminded me of better times.
