What Is The CIA Hiding About The Missing DA Who Didn't Prosecute Jerry Sandusky In 1998? (Probably Nothing.)
We've written about Ray Gricar before.

On April 15, 2005, Gricar mysteriously disappeared from central P...

JaVale McGee Does JaVale McGee Thing, Wins Game For Nuggets In His Debut, Because JaVale McGee Is The Best
JaVale McGee has come in for some affectionate ribbing 'round these parts, but nobody better say nothing about his game-winning play in the Nuggets-Pistons game last night.

Watch All 234 Goals Leo Messi Scored To Break The Barcelona Record

When an athlete realizes that he's reached the upper limits of his skill, he either accepts it and plays on. Or he learns to play dirty.

Is Harvard Now Behaving Like Any Other College Basketball Juggernaut?
Four years ago, Pete Thamel wrote a story in the New York Times about how new Harvard coach Tommy Amaker had landed a potential recruiting class that experts ranked as one of the top 25 in the nation.

Watch This Fan Spit All Over His Hand, Then High Five Jeremy Lin And Other Knicks
The Knicks were in Chicago last night to play the Bulls. Both teams acquitted themselves well. The same can't be said for at least one of the fans at the United Center.

Good news on the politics front, MMA fans.

J.R. Smith has made quite the impression since signing with the Knicks last month. He's shooting 37 percent from the field and has already been fined $25,000 for tweeting a picture of the "girl with the biggest ass ever." But it's not like the Knicks weren't warned. The New York Post reports that Ca...
Whatever Jenn Sterger Is Doing At <em>The Daily</em>, Please, God, Make It Stop
Jenn Sterger is sorta-famous for two reasons. First, she got herself on TV at FSU games wearing low-cut outfits. Second, she received photos of a penis that was almost certainly attached to Brett Favre. That's not what one would call a distinguished resume. But it's good enough to land a job at Th...
