Duke Lacrosse: Nancy Grace Wanted Stats...
Clark Goldband gave them to her:
Blooper by Clark? Yep. But in retrospect, maybe it all happened for a reason. The focus should’ve been on the team’s stats all along, not the bogus scandal that ruined players’ lives.
Oh Nancy…

Wild Child Lacrosse from the Deutschland. Someone...
This video looks interesting. Seems like there could be a good story behind it. I just wish I knew what they were saying… Anyone care to help us out here?
For the record, there’s some cool footage here. I love the camera angle on the faceoff, and the school they’re playing at looks incredible. Cool mouthguards.

Chris Berman OR Baby Mangino? C’mon, that’s a no-brainer - Look at this kid!
The SHOTY (Sports Human Of The Year) Elite Eight is going down this week at Deadspin, and this is the first matchup. #3 Chris Berman vs. #11 Baby Mangino. Personally, I don’t think this is much of a matchup. Mangino’s got it in the bag! Check out the resemblance:

We've all been there...
Check out this simple yet effective idea from Geekologie:
I’ve had this idea for a while. I’ve come to the conclusion that I’m never getting around to getting it made, so I at least want it publicized.
An ordinary towel right? Correct.
But, it has a distinct blue square in a not so used area of the towel.
Maybe I’m a slob, but I usually don’t get a new towel...

Playing football in the snow is tough..
null - Watch more free videos
The internet is all buzzing about this video because the poor guy thinks he scored but ends up with the most ridiculous fumble ever. All the real All-Stars know the truth…this is nothing. Football may be tough in the snow but lacrosse is darn near IMPOSSIBLE. You drop the ball and you might never find it again.

“Do you think girls should be allowed to play in the NFL?” one girl asked.
“Girls can play in the NFL. Ben Roethlisberger plays for the Steelers, right?” Hasselbeck said. “Joking. Totally joking. That was a joke,” Hasselbeck said, chuckling.
