Another reminder that Philadelphia Phillies fans are the classiest fans in the world. The gestures that this guy makes in the background while NBC 10 reporter Claudia Rivero is trying to file a serious report are pretty hilarious. Link to video following the jump.

For future reference, please note that the sure way to stir controversy in Green Bay is to stage a mock funeral of Brett Favre, complete with effigy, casket and pall bearers. One would think that the close proximity to Halloween would give people license to do this, but evidently not: WAPL-105.7 FM, the radio station…

Pearl Jam is near the end of a five-concert stop at the Wachovia Spectrum Arena in Philadelphia (they play the last-ever event at the facility on Saturday), which must have been quite a dilemma for some Phillies fans on Wednesday. World Series or Johnny Guitar? Cliff Lee or Supersonic? Ahh, it’s enough to make a…

As a parent, you have to swell with pride when, during your child’s youth football game, you hear the PA announcer say: “Hey, somebody get Witherspoon and take him home!” Even worse: When one of the coaches goes after your kid with a helmet. It happened in Pensacola, Fla., on Oct. 24, as a brawl…

Possibly the oddest juxtaposition of words and thoughts ever in a twitter post. Can a person travel so quickly between these three worlds and not be sucked into some sort of black hole? Well it took you long enough to get here, Friday. But welcome.

Mmmff, what? Oh, hello. Man, I just had the weirdest dream. Former Duke guard J.J. Reddick was making a rap CD, and he was totally serious about it. Then someone told me that I had to review it for this site, and listen to every cut. And not only that, but there was a video.…

Free Sharon Finkelstein! We told you yesterday of the plight of this horny enterprising Phillies fan, who allegedly offered sex acts in exchange for World Series tickets in an ad she placed on Craigslist. Unfortunately, the first reply she got was from an undercover cop. Awk-ward. Finkelstein was placed in cuffs, booked, and now faces…

I’ve always said it: Things are a lot more interesting when the Phillies are in the World Series. You’ve got your drunken pinheads falling off the roof of cabs; your random fan taking a vodka bottle to the head; and of course this — woman offering sex on Craigslist in exchange for Series tickets. And…

After a rash of collisions with players in recent weeks, the NFL could be making the unprecedented move of protecting the striped ones with headgear. Although I don’t see how that’s really going to help much: You’ve still got 300-pound, gazelle-fast athletes trampling short, overweight men, and that’s always going to cause damage. Helmets will…

Halloween approaches, time for us once again to ask the age-old question: Is there anything more unsettling than a 5-year-old bodybuilder? For my money the answer is no; but then I’ve never seen an entire episode of “The Nanny.” Here’s Giuliano Stroe, who hails from Italy and has only one rule: Those who touch my…

I don’t know how to say this so I’m just going to say it: A Boise, Idaho high school basketball coach was arrested recently for wandering around a local Costco while masturbating. So OK, who hasn’t pleasured themselves while bargain shopping? But it gets worse. Kyle Dennis, 37, was arrested after multiple instances of getting…

If there’s one thing better than getting cut from your middle school football team for bad grades, it’s your mom putting a giant sign on your front lawn announcing the details of your sad, bitter failure. Meet Keegan O’Brien, eighth grader, snappy dresser, taker of back streets to school in the morning. His mom, Amy…
