Here’s the first photo I’ve seen of Stafon Johnson as he makes his recovery from a serious weightlifting accident.

(The barbell on Stafon’s shirt? Noted.)
David Wharton of the L.A. TIMES updates:
Johnson is up and moving around and no longer requires a feeding tube, Carroll said. However, he is limited to a liquid diet and has […]

For the second time since last year’s championship, the Philadelphia Phillies have had to deal with an incident with World Series rings going missing. And just like the first quasi-theft thing with the janitor, the case was solved relatively quickly.

(Our perp. No, really. We’re not making that up.)
So how did the Phillies figure out where […]

Remember Lebanon, Pa., gun-toting soccer mom Meleanie Hain, whom we wrote about in December? Hain had developed the habit of attending her young daughter’s soccer games strapped with a loaded Glock, and was suing the Lebanon County Sheriff’s Dept. for revoking her license to carry and conceal a handgun. We thought that the story was […]

Got to thinking today about the Univ. of Oregon playing the Tony Dungy card in its case for the reinstatement of LeGarrette Blount’s playing career. (Along with the other prominent figures cited by UO Coach Chip Kelly as party to Blount’s image overhaul: Dr. Harry Edwards, Kermit Washington and Jon Gruden.)

Considering that virtually every media […]

Hip hip hooray for Rio de Janeiro, the 2016 Summer Olympics hosts. Sure, all of the endemic problems with Chicago (crime, corruption, not enough white people) are only worse down there, but hey, thongs and a giant Jesus cure all ills, right?

(That’s pretty cool, guys, but I don’t see anywhere to play 18 in that […]

It’s safe to say the Mike Locksley Era at New Mexico hasn’t exactly gone according to plan. Well, that is, unless athletic director Paul Krebs planned on an age-discrimination lawsuit, press conferences with none-too-subtle references to the ejaculations, and a locker room fight between coaches. We really hope the Lobos expected more.

(Yes, this is serious. […]

You know my rule: When golfing in alligator country, you always take the drop. Unfortunately, a 77-year-old man playing on a Fripp Island, South Carolina course on Thursday did not heed that advice, and lost his arm to the elbow when an alligator bit it off. Crikey.

It occurred on the 11th hole at Ocean Creek […]

Last week, we heard the story of former Michigan hoops star Rumeal Robinson evicting his own mother from her house… on 2 Rumeal Robinson Place. Perhaps he learned the mom-eviction trick from Claudio Vargas, we don’t know. But it was clearly a bad situation brought on by financial ruin, which is hardly news when it […]

I call this one: Chuck Knoblauch, the Harris County Jail Portrait. Here’s what steroids and a fistful of Xanax can lead to, kids. Of course I knew that the former Yankee and Twin was arrested last month for allegedly assaulting his common-law wife, but this is the first I’ve seen of his mugshot, unearthed by […]

Racing your 2007 green Lamborghini while drunk and in possession of cocaine? Perhaps that’s just a typical night for J.C. France, grandson of NASCAR co-founder Bill France and, as we can (almost) see in the screen grab, fledgling pugilist. But this time the cops got involved, and the result was mugshot hilarity.

France was pulled over […]
