Champ to Chump

Another year, another crazy Mike Tyson story. That’s right, Iron Mike’s in trouble again — this time, on cocaine possession and DUI charges.
It’s so sad. He used to be the champ. Just when you think he’s getting better (ie., embraces Buddhism while in jail), he takes another giant leap backwards (ie., sticks tongue out for [...]

Changing the rules

I’m not a fan of football — or rather, of the meathead sport that stole football’s name and forced football to call itself soccer — but I am a fan of innovation and sneak attacks of all kinds. That’s why I love this clip. Outstanding.

As a side note, who named these teams? And who named [...]
