Obligatory Sports Babe

I realize that it was only last week when I last used a picture of Leryn Franco, the Parguayan javelin throwing person seen here, but since then she's signed a contract with Nike for their clothing line, and With Leather has reminded me that during the Olympics they posted a great gallery of her pics, so, you know, this shit is topical.

Memorable White Guys

A less-than-comprehensive list (what? No Jon Koncak?) of white guys in the NBA in the 90s. Who could forget such legends as the guy who passed to Karl Malone, the other white guy on the Jazz who looks like your neighbour, or the guy from Duke who you wish would just go away.

The Big Cassel-Bowski

Mass Hysteria recounts the tale of how (I can only presume) things went down after somebody recently peed on Patriots QB Matt Cassel's leg-- which, FYI, really tied the room together.

What Do Miley Cyrus and Jose Calderon Have in Common?

Evidently, according to this post from Moon Dog Sports, xenophobia! (Er... I guess I should explain. Miley's now got her very own "making slant eyes" picture, just like the Spanish national basketball team!)

Batman Gives the Best Advice

Via Gorillamask, here's a Tripod page with that lays out the wisdom of the Adam West-era Batman for all to see.

The Fabulous Ruins of Detroit

Ever since that whimsical "dead hobo trapped in ice" story from last week, I've been a little curious about, you know, how completely fucked up some parts of Detroit are. It's a little "Web 1.0", but the Fabulous Ruins of Detroit is an amazing collection of somewhat difficult-to-navigate galleries documenting the state of urban decay in the city. Most photos are eight or ten years old, so many of the buildings are now gone, or restored-- but the "webmaster" (heh) has done a decent job of keeping the status of several buildings updated over the years.

Quick Hits

The girl from the porn movie that interrupted the Super Bowl broadcast in Tuscon talks to Deadspin.

Create a Jackson Pollack on your computer screen that's "virtually" (zing!) indistinguishable from the real thing.

Uncoached has found some outstanding bumper stickers.
