- This write-up on Super Bowl squares isn't quite accurate, in that it assumes you can pick your squares knowing what numbers they are. However, I still think it's interesting to see the distribution of wealth across the squares.

- We really needed a hater's guide to Ray Lewis.

- Holy shit, we are stupid.

- Could this be the next iPad?? Do you care???

01/25/2013

- Let's stick with the lip reading theme and see what some of the baseball manager-umpire fights were about.

01/23/2013

- Sorry for the lack of news today, folks. Been a busy day (week) at work. I'll leave you with this video of Chelsea's Eden Hazard kicking a Swansea ball boy (Hazard was red carded). What are your thoughts? Did the kid have it coming his way?

- "'I wish you could play this game in real life.' Those words have been muttered by almost everyone who’s ever played the game Mario Kart"... While I don't agree with that thought, real-life Mario Kart still looks pretty fun.

- GIF tournament! [via Matt]

UPDATE: It helps if you know that Frightened Rabbit is a band.

QotD: "We always try to capture interesting storylines and the relationship between an Auburn grad who is Miss Alabama and the current Alabama quarterback certainly met that test. However, we apologize that the commentary in this instance went too far and Brent understands that." - ESPN's response to Brent Musburger's boner.

01/07/2013

- Some animals have names that are very misleading. Take a look at a few!

- This article is a couple days old, but I think it's still worth reading. Really, this is the most amusing part:

"The Detroit Red Wings' prospect was arrested in October after being pulled over for driving the wrong way down a one-way street. According to reports, he had a blood-alcohol level of .30, which falls under Michigan's tough "super drunk" designation. He was still in his purple Teletubby costume from Halloween at the time of the arrest, which was later captured on police video."

01/02/2013

Happy New Year!

- I'm going to take this with a large grain of salt simply because it seems to good to be true, but Intel is reportedly going to offer the ability to subscribe to individual cable channels, rather than to packages full of crap you don't watch. They might even allow you to subscribe to specific shows! Yeah... I just don't see it happening. And if it does happen, I think it could end up being almost as expensive (or more expensive??) as the current package system. [via Matt]

- Not Reducer.

- Here's an interesting interview with ESPN's Hannah Storm on the incident where her propane grill blew up in her face.
