- The Gateway Sexual Activity Bill passed through the Tennessee House of Representatives. Meanwhile, everyone else has continued to watch on in amusement.
- HBO renewed Veep and Girls. That's great news for Veep viewers, and really shitty news for Girls viewers.
- Florida State's new [old] mascot is named Cimarron, which I misread as Cinnamaroon. Anyway, it's stupid.
- One-nil to the fucking Manchester City. EVERYTHING SUCKS.
- Baseball's new schedules next year could end the home-and-home series for certain interleague "rivals" - e.g., Sox-Cubs. I don't care.

- I may blast the NFL for being one of the dumbest leagues, but I'll give them major credit if they manage to suspend the Pro Bowl. All-star games are so incredibly stupid (especially MLB's, guhh), and it's nice to see a league actually realize that for a change.
- Speaking of the NFL, if you're planning on watching the draft, you suck.
- Debates roared after people saw this video of a couple failing to give a foul ball to a nearby child. Now you can consult this chart to see if you're committing some sort of faux pas by keeping a foul ball.
- What complete bitches!
- I imagine that finding yourself on a missing children website has got to be pretty messed up.

- Reducer.
- If I had a "this is so stupid" category, I'd file this next story under it: The Chelsea-Barcelona match set a new record for most TPS (that's tweets per second for the normal people), at 13,684. This broke the previous record of 12,233 TPS set during the Superbowl. So, look no further for evidence that futbol is bigger than football.
- I always enjoy tracking packages online. Especially when they take all sorts of crazy routes.
- Here's the supposed new Brooklyn Nets logo. Kind of boring, and it reminds of the LA Kings logo.
- Congrats to Paul Konerko on hitting his 400th career home run - one that tied the game for the Sox in the 9th inning. Of course, they later lost, but come on. It's the Sox.

- For those of you who like iPhones, but can't seem to fit their massive bodies in your hand, perhaps you'll be excited about the iPhone mini. Haha.

- One-nil to the Chelsea. A surprising win, but this blogger thinks it just sets the stage for disappointment next week.
- Here's a video of why you shouldn't try too hard in baseball. Slow day.
- Pat Summit has stepped down as Tennessee's women's basketball coach. Her career ends with a 1,098-207 record, which is decent.
- For the Ron Paul supporters out there, check out the Ron Paul video game.

- Ron Swanson is just so damn cool.

- Halo 4 and Conan are paired for something, I guess. Who knows what!
- For lack of a better "thing," check out NBA.com's description for the #30 ranked Bobcats.

- So long, Page 2. You were probably the best thing about ESPN.com, except for when you had articles from Rick Reilly and Bill Simmons. OK, maybe you weren't that great. Whatever.
- That Kirk Cameron, he's such a bigot.
- NHL Playoffs! They've been pretty sweet so far!
- Look out for tornadoes tomorrow.
- Well, Mr. Wilshere, we'll see you next season. [you don't care about this, most likely!]

- Would you mind seeing ads on MLB, NBA, NFL, and NHL uniforms? I don't have an issue with it. And if it means fewer commercials, then GOD YES PLEASE MAKE IT HAPPEN! (My opinion is so strong that I even commented on the article!)
- Well, this is probably why we haven't seen any Funbags lately.
- It's National Grilled Cheese Sandwich Day and here're some spots you can grab the sandy around town. [via Nate]
- Scare chicken!
- Read about the enthralling battle for fourth place in the EPL! Fun stuff.

- Tennessee's anti-science bill has become a law, and we all continue to think poorly of that silly state.
- For the handful of you that still use G+, Google is updating the layout of the site to make it more customizable. And it sounds like that's just the start:
"By focusing on you, the people you care about, and the stuff you’re into, we’re going to continue upgrading all the features you already know and love—from Search and Maps to Gmail and YouTube. With today’s foundational changes we can move even faster—toward a simpler, more beautiful Google."
- Here's somewhat of a 'big picture' take on Ozzie Guillen's Castro comments, which I found to be interesting.
- ONE-NIL TO THE WIGAN.
- Should NBA players get paid to play in the Olympics?

- Seeing Skip Bayless get called out is simply enjoyable.
- After losing relevance for like 15 years (more?), The Simpsons finally reveal their home state: Springfield, ______! Take a guess before clicking through. [via Nate]
- Oh my god, fuck you, FA: "Retrospective action in relation to the incident involving Mario Balotelli of Manchester City and Alex Song of Arsenal, which occurred in the 20th minute of Sunday's game, will not be taken.
"Where at least one of the officials has seen the coming together of players retrospective action is not taken, regardless of whether they have seen the full extent of the challenge."
- Yeah, suck it, Rick Reilly.

The spam on Five Things has gotten out of control to the point that I need to take some steps to try to avoid it. Step one is requiring you to be registered and logged in to comment. I know this sucks for pretty much all of you, but I can't handle having this get taken over by spam. I'm sorry.
- Ozzie's being Ozzie, but in Miami now. And he's already managed to piss off some people.
- For your big news of the day, Facebook is acquiring Instagram for $1 billion. That's a lot of money!
- This trailer for Hey Arnold!: The Movie is amazing. You had to assume that the characters in the show were going down a dark path...
- Bristolmetrics.
- For those of you still clinging to Windows XP, you've got two years until Microsoft stops supporting it. Forcing people (and businesses) to move on is a good thing, I think.

- Meet the Camden Yards Streaker.
- Here's a really stupid article about Catholic Brewers fans who didn't know whether or not they should eat meat during today's home opener. STUPID!

- Kristen Wiig, Jason Sudeikis, and Andy Samberg could all be leaving SNL after this season. I'd be happy to not suffer through any more Wiig sketches. [via Matt]
- Awesome commercial.
- I would love to experience the quietest place on Earth just to see what it's like. How can it be that people can't last in there for more than 45 minutes?
- It's getting down to crunch time, both in the NHL and in the NHL pool.

- Here's a long write-up on Tiger Woods and his uncertain future. I found it mildly entertaining.
--- OK Grantland, that's two Tiger Woods stories in one day. This one's by an author whose picture looks like a mugshot.
- Do you buy things or experiences? If you buy things, you're unhappy. If you buy experiences (e.g., trips), you're happy. Well, at least according to this study.
- Here's those Google Project Glass things that everyone's talking about.
- It's Opening Night. Fuck you, Miami.
UPDATE: Seriously, fuck you, Miami.

- The Reducer is always worse during weeks when your team loses.
--- "Quote of the Week: Martin O'Neill On Nicklas Bendtner's performance against Manchester City: 'I thought he played like a proper centre-forward. When he plays like that, he justifies his own self-vaunted opinion.'"
- Here's an interesting read on underpaid minor league baseball players and why they'll never have a union.
- "Welcome to Better Know An Umpire, an effort to educate ourselves on the human elements who have ultimate decision-making power over some 2,500 Major League Baseball games a year."

- I posted this story when Deadspin first published it, but since they decided to revisit it, I will too. Bruce Pearl sucks!
- Bristolmetrics - "The Worldwide Leader did a profile of Capitals winger Alexander Ovechkin that lasted 7.75 minutes. It was the first time this year SportsCenter had used one of its reporters on a hockey story, rather than just showing highlights and Barry Melrose."
- Here's an amusing list of bizarre things people have done in their sleep. I'm a little surprised murdering someone is only #8...
- School shooting, guhhh.
