Picture a man, battered and beaten. He has spent the third period of a National Hockey League contest as the silhouetted man in an impressive round of target practice from the locked and loaded Pittsburgh Penguins, filling him full of rubber puck shot in the last dozen minutes. His ragged breathing and soaked […]

Of course you want the best for your child. If he shows an interest in music, you buy him an oboe. If she buries her nose in books all day, you drag home a box full of young adult novels each month. If he wants to join the circus as a clown, […]

Steelers All-Pro linebacker James Harrison has brought fans wearing black and gold numerous memorable hits, including against those that merely wander near the field of play wearing the enemy’s colors…

… which is utterly hilarious until this morning. Harrison was accused of applying the same communications skills to his girlfriend last night by chasing her into […]

Is it a Beaver or a donut? It’s […]

I’m not sure if this is mostly good news or bad news from the Associated Press. The good, of course, is that a terroristic plot was foiled. The bad? Well, um, how are these Beijing Olympics going to work out?

From the AP:
“Chinese police killed alleged terrorists plotting to attack the Beijing Olympics, while a flight […]

Florida held the state’s first-ever sanctioned high school championship for cheerleading this weekend, a historic moment because cheerleading was defined as a “sport” for this event. That has prompted an internal SbB review of the burning question: is cheerleading a sport?

Hmm, the image is inconclusive. Let’s check out pieces from the recap of the event […]

Standout USC guard O.J. Mayo said after a big win yesterday against Stanford that “so far” he is planning on sticking around for a sophomore season instead of jumping to the NBA. He also very much enjoys the ladies of Southern California so far (that’s just my guess).
