In the wake of the Saints’ Superbowl win last night, perhaps it’s appropriate to consider this timeline showing the evolution of sports.

much ado

This is amazing. According to a Wall Street Journal study of four recent broadcasts, and similar estimates by researchers, the average amount of time the ball is in play on the field during an NFL game is about 11 minutes.

Oli Lemieux knows his way around a trampoline, by gum.

serious fantasy

I guess you can insure just about anything, but I never thought I’d see fantasy football insurance, much less fantasy dispute resolution.

gravity, defied

Damien Walters is about as close to the Bionic Man as it gets. He and this insane stunt cyclist need to make the next Die Hard.

Support Zach Feinstein in Getting Drafted into the NBA


“The short story is that I, Zachary Feinstein, have declared for the 2008 NBA Draft. As a 5’8″ 130 pound Caucasian, I am the perfect candidate for professional basketball. Also, I do not play basketball.

You see, I am not currently on my college’s basketball team (Division 3 just for reference) nor did I try out to be. I was at no point on my high school’s basketball team nor did I try out to be. I was at no point on my middle school’s basketball team nor did I try out to be. The last time I was on a basketball team was before Bill Clinton got caught with his pants down.

So there you have it, I, Zach Feinstein, am in the 2008 NBA Draft.”

best unintended energy drink ad ever

wrong ball, coach

Anyone know if you can really do this?

a long way

Great story about the fiasco that was the 1904 Olympics in St. Louis. Best line: As he took his place in the starting crowd, Carvajal found himself in an odd group to be running the first Olympic marathon in America. In addition to legitimate distance runners such as Sam Mellor, John Lordon, and Michael Spring, each of whom had won the Boston Marathon, there were a professional strikebreaker from Chicago and two Zulu tribesmen, named Lentauw and Yamasani, who were at the fair as part of the Boer War exhibit and thought they would take the afternoon off to run.
