For those of you with a little extra coin in your Santa hat this year — the treadmill that LeBron and Kobe use: the AlterG.

Unshady. It's very unlikely this info came from the law firm. More likely, her phone was tapped. Or his.

You know what I've been waiting for? Mention of the SF 49ers great defensive back Bruce Taylor. He, too, returned a field goal for a touchdown, in 1970. And then, in 1971, HE DID IT AGAIN. Am I weird to think that's weird?

"Etou, Brutus?"

But how far can they punt a football?

How is that not your favorite? Is he not fat enough?

I see that as the opposite of a freak-out. He's able to somehow get control of a fight that — well, contextually, you're not giving us much, but it had to be pretty ugly. I'd like to see a hell of a lot more of this. Saw this in rugby recently: http://www.rugbydump.com/2008/07/613/wa…

Great article, Sean. And great effort in your second half mary.

Actual beast mode

WAIT! Wait just one damn minute. I know you and Sean and Tom Ley pass rugby around the office like a common street hoor (and kudos to you, Barry, for keeping tabs on the crazy-uncle rugby league community), but clearly this is a ruse by cricket, or lacrosse, to undermine the glorious game of rugby. Can't you see…

I know, right? They use their hands!

For the record, I agree — 16 is too young. But the kid got kicked off the track team? Really?

Outstanding piece, Drew. I've been at all points of this compass, and can attest that male friendship can be a fucked up place.

I think the word you were reaching for was "dismay," but your coach sounds like a dick.

In a three-day, non-stop adventure race in Maine, we got lost. Profoundly lost, as in...well, they called out the state police to start a search for us. We hiked for 41 hours straight, largely in circles. That's just short of two straight days, hiking through snow and moose shit.
