A collection of very nicely designed baseball infographics. Some of these charts could pass for a Peter Saville album cover, which you'll appreciate even if you know nothing about baseball (that would be me).
After hanging ten, T.J. the surfing dog was so wiped, he fell asleep with his sunglasses on! Next time you consider whether or not to hit the gym, think of T.J. If he can surf til he sleeps, you can afford at least 15 minutes of cardio.
Her barks even sound like the “hee hee” (kind of). Next up: cat doing The Lean.
Deadspin has this charming story about how Elvis Grbac, second-string QB for the Kansas City Chiefs and all-round goofy-looking dude, ended up as People magazine's “Sexiest Athlete Alive” in 1998. It's funny and sad in equal parts, and well worth the read.
How come no one told THE_REAL_SHAQ he was being traded from Phoenix to Cleveland? Twitter's favorite sports star had to find the important info out the way I find out if my coworker liked her Subway sandwich: on Twitter!
Pretty sure that kid is the author of this list. The best part is that he thought his parents would be clueless, and instead his dad made him explain 2 Girls, 1 Cup to his mother.
This guy is either one of the greatest trick shooters of all time or proof of the chimpanzee-writing-Shakespeare theory with unlimited video edits. Shaq tweeted he wants to play him in Horse. Sounds like sweet, sweet internet bliss.
“This is one of those things that clicks immediately: A bike made of springy, light, sustainable, and abundant bamboo.” Only costs $2695. Next step affordability.
“Press Hop” is a compilation of favorite and controversial sports moments mashed into one coherent song. I don't know nearly as much about sports as I do about Katie Couric, but judging by the YouTube comments, this video is a total internet WIN.
Check out that right hook. I have to start practicing my toy helicopter piloting for the next time I'm home. My mother's cat won't know what hit him.
Kid gets inadvertently hit with a baseball bat, proceeds to fall over. I might be a horrible person because I LOL'ed at this.
The World's Greatest Tennis Player Ever™ hit the Wimbledon courts in some pretty fancy attire (for Wimbledon, where players are supposed to wear all white). He even brought a gold manbag to match his Sgt. Pepper warm-up suit. And then he dominated his opponent in straight sets, so whatever, keep the sparkles coming.
Sports Buzz An Ohio eighth-grader pulled of a stunt shot that has to be seen to be believed. He runs forward, does a forward somersault/flip using the basketball to push off the floor, and then hurls the ball towards the basket at the opposite end of the court, 60 feet away. SWISH!
A little kid applies an ice cream bar to his face during a soccer match. This sort of reminds me of how I used to rub a deodorant stick on my forehead because I thought it would stop the sweating.
Let's face it…this ain't our father's White House…what with Obama doing promos for Conan, and Steven Colbert. Now word comes that legendary skateboarder Tony Hawk was given permission to skateboard through the foyer of the White House as part of a Father's Day celebration. Hawk posted the photos on his Twitter page!
MMA Reporter Aaron Tru was interviewing Cris 'Cyborg' Santos about her upcoming bout with Gina Carano, and towards the end of the interview Santos put a choke hold on Tru, knocking him out cold!!! Shades of Hulk Hogan and Richard Belzer!
Sports Buzz The Potty Putter is a miniature golf game you can play while taking a dump. It's only two days until Father's Day, but your dad might be willing to forgive the belated sentiment if you got him one of these.
CTA Digital has made the next useless accessory for you Wiimote: the Wii bowling ball! This thing will provide minutes of entertainment in the form of youtube videos of unwitting gamers chucking bowling balls through their flat screens. Let the rain of plasma and glass begin! [Via Gearfuse]
Sports Buzz Meet your 2009 National Texting Champion, a 15-year-old from Iowa who perfectly texted an entire chorus from “Zip-a-Dee-Doo-Dah” to claim her title. She won $50,000, which should almost cover her 14,000-per-month text habit. Let us note also that Kate has only had a cell phone for 8 months. We're talking phenom-status here.
