In 1999, 17-year-old Findlay High School Quarterback Ben Roethlisberger was featured in Sports Illustrated’s Faces In The Crowd:

Right next to the Super Bowl-winning QB in the feature that week was a high school mountain biker from Asheville, NC named Willow Koerber.

Like Roethlisberger, Koerber has gone on to a successful professional career.

Say that you’re a guy who wants to start a career in UFC, but there’s no one around in your neighborhood to fight. Oh, and also you’re an idiot. Your mission is clear — start throwing rocks at random strangers, and hope you get your ass kicked.

That’s what a genius in Silverdale, Washington, did recently […]

Less-than-chill weekend I’m still recovering from. Was holed up @ ‘The London’ boutique hotel in Hollywood and hit the clubs haaaarrrrd. Also dragged my carcass to the X Games for the first time, which like some above the age of 12 and/or those bereft of body ink, I leaned to being a possibly lame-o endeavor.

(Axe […]

Meet Tim Kennedy, a combat veteran who is assigned to the 7th Special Forces Group at Fort Bragg, N.C. (read: Green Beret). At least he will be posted there until Aug. 4, when his six-year enlistment runs out. Kennedy is choosing not to return, because his unit commanders won’t let him participate in his other […]

Australian motocross racer Cam Sinclair remains hospitalized after a jump attempt during an event in Spain went terribly awry.

BITTEN & BOUND reports that during the Red Bull X-Fighters event in Madrid this weekend, Sinclair was trying to pull off a double backflip. Unfortunately, he under rotated, and his body smashed into the ramp instead of […]

We’ve been entertained by the amusing antics of Joanna Krupa, as the buxom blonde beauty berated teammate Terrell Owens during their debut appearance on ABC’s “Superstars”. (The network execs must have enjoyed it, too, as the J.K.-T.O. team were invited back on the show even after being eliminated.) If only there was another cute Krupa […]

There’s nothing in the football hazing manual more insidious than the atomic sit-up, that most evil of teammate pranks and proof positive that nothing in a high school locker room involving a towel ever comes to any good. Unfortunately our story here does not involve a girl, as the photo indicates. But if you’d seen […]

In case you hadn’t noticed, and after these many years it’s okay if you hadn’t, Chris Chelios has been around forever. For-eh-vur. The 47-year-old has literally spent a majority of his life as a player in the NHL, breaking into the league with Montreal during the 1983-84 season. Yeah, back when “Jump” was the hot […]

It’s nearly impossible to believe now, but there was once a time when MTV was considered a groundbreaking, trendsetting television network. In between showing actual music videos, they developed a series of programs that set the stage for later, larger cultural development. Just like music videos changed the way people listened to and learned about […]

My first reaction on hearing that a Cincinnati man was arrested for having sex on a jungle gym (”Please be Cedric Benson, please be Cedrick Benson, please be Cedric Benson …”) was uncalled for, and I apologize. It was actually a man named Douglas Cooper, who will surely now have his own chapter in the […]
