I could probably post something like this every day of the week, but the Clippers aren't always on national TV and NBA League Pass costs a bajillion dollars. Rant aside, check out this pseudo-basketball porn from Blake Griffin.

And here's the one that got me all hot and bothered on Twitter.

The best part about this? The game isn't even over yet. The Clippers currently lead the Lakers by 4 in the 3rd quarter, so check it out if Tim Tebow's completion percentage didn't already put you to sleep.

And by Minnesota, I mean the entire state, not just the team. Clear your mind, pretend he's not wearing a Blackhawks jersey, and watch this filthy move.

As a self-respecting Red Wings fan, I can't use up an entire post praising a member of the Blackhawks, so this needs to happen too.

Uglier: these girls, or Nicklas Backstrom's sorry attempt at a poke check on Kane? I'm 50/50 on this one.

There were plenty of NBA jokes thrown around for today's Kentucky-North Carolina matchup, so you can't blame the refs for letting the players get away with NBA-like travels. OK, you still can, but that's not the point. Check out Kentucky's Terrence Jones' happy feet before he dunks on UNC's Tyler Zeller and some other guy.

If you look closely, you can see him move his right foot as he gets the ball. Jones then switches his pivot foot twice, giving Roy Williams an aneurysm in the process. Maybe that's why he didn't call a timeout near the end of the game to get the ball into Harrison Barnes' hands.

Not only does Maurice Jones-Drew get points for being an all-around awesome running back who just happens to be on my fantasy team, but he also hates Cleveland as much as we do. Be sure to note when the boos actually start (you know, before the video is taken down).

Yup, that's LeBron James' powder toss. In Cleveland. +6 fantasy points for me, +1 million trolling points for MJD.

UPDATE: Ok, maybe it's actually just tea. I think it's spiked though. Disregard everything below, except for us not caring about Coach K. Also, tea is a brew, so the title is still correct.

Prediction: this picture is going to cause a shitstorm for ESPN.

Bob Knight beer

Yup, that's Bobby Knight enjoying a beer during ESPN's broadcast of tonight's Duke-Michigan State game. Do I, the consumer, care that Knight is enjoying a nice cold beverage on the sidelines? Hey, if the most important man in the world can do it, why not a humble announcer?

Barack Obama beer

Of course, you know that this is going to cause huge drama because people can't let anything go these days without making a scene.

Oh, and Coach K is going to win his 903rd game tonight to pass Knight on the career wins list. Too bad Pat Summit has like a bazillion more, otherwise we would actually care.

OK, this is a first. Louisville head coach Charlie Strong is blaming Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 for his team's lack of focus in last Saturday's 21-14 loss against Pittsburgh. Never mind the fact that Pittsburgh's players probably have the same game. If anything, they might be more inclined to play video games until the wee hours of the morning. That there thing called the inn'rnet can be pretty tricky sometimes down in Kintucky.

Honestly, I just linked that video for AC/DC's "Shoot to Thrill." Nobody likes a skinny Jonah Hill.

The Dallas Cowboys might have stomped the Buffalo Bills 44-7 today (Laurent Robinson FTW), but David Nelson is the real winner in this whole deal. Nelson scored the Bills' only touchdown in the 2nd quarter and was able to share the moment with his girlfriend, Kelsi Reich. The twist? Reich is a Dallas Cowboys cheerleader and, by extension, is mind-blowingly hot.

I like the simplicity of the whole deal (not to mention Nelson's hustle down the sidelines). He didn't propose -- which is probably a good idea since they lost by 37 -- and he didn't get her fired (well, not yet at least).

And did I mention that she's really, really hot?

I like the beach and the ocean as much as any other normal person, but there's no way in hell I would do something like this.

As the title suggests, I'm pretty sure Garret McNamara has some sort of death wish. I wouldn't want to deal with a wave like that if I were on a yacht, let alone on a small plank of wood with a string around my ankle.

Usually, the Punt, Pass and Kick Contest is reserved for kids ages 6-15, but the NCAA's aggressive expansion for any type of financial compensation known to man (can I get a #shotsfired?) has led to this: last night's national telecast of the NCAA Punt, Pass and Kick Contest went into overtime, where LSU's Drew Alleman beat Cade Foster and Jeremy Shelley of Alabama by making his third field goal of the evening.

While there were several other competitors involved, I think we can all agree that the competition wouldn't have even been close had Brian Wilson been involved. However, the NCAA ruled him ineligible just hours before kickoff because of the free chalupas he ate during the making of that Taco Bell commercial he was in. I expect that we'll see LSU hit with 10 years worth of sanctions in the near future.

Unlike the t-shirts, blog posts proclaiming a team to be "World Champions" can't be shipped off to impoverished countries. What actually happens to these poor, unwanted stories? Nobody knows. Some think that they resort to a life of crime, while others believe that they simply waste away, simply longing to be read by someone... anyone.This is one of those posts, and this is its story. Note: everything in italics is new, but the rest was written during the drama of Thursday's Game 6 and has not been altered since.

At least the Tigers can say that they were beaten by the best team in baseball. The Texas Rangers followed Dirk Nowitzki's "one suit" advice (only figuratively, as far as we know) and took out the St. Louis Cardinals in a 10-inning Game 6 to win the 2011 World Series. In a World Series marked by comebacks, timely hitting and untimely bullpen moves, the Rangers blew a 2-run 9th inning lead only to take the lead in the 10th on Josh Hamilton's first home run of the series.

Amazingly, this was already edited once after Neftali Feliz gave up two runs in the 9th inning, all while the author's finger hovered over the "post" button. Unbeknownst to this post, his carefully selected prose would never see the light of day (or your monitor), at least in the way he would have wanted.

Above all, fans of the other 28 teams in the MLB can rejoice in the fact that it will be another 6 months until we have to listen to the inane rantings of Tim McCarver again.

Note that this is still true.

Now, let's just hope that the Rangers continue to mimic Nowitzki's actions and party like true champions.

As you can see, this cautionary tale has no happy ending. When posts are written too early, feelings get hurt.
