Brown Bag it, Baby
We’ve shown several examples of crazy fans over the years here at LBS, and this certainly is up there with any of them. Fan Jeff Holko wanted to win a contest for playoff tickets so badly that he got his lower lip tattooed with the Detroit …
One 11-year-old boy is so good at football that his local league had to invoke a rule that bans him from scoring touchdowns. No joke. Demias Jimerson is a sixth grader from Arkansas and he plays in the Wilson Intermediate Football League. The league …
Doc Brown took a beating in his picks last week against the spread. But for every action, there’s an equal and opposite reaction. So you know what that means? It’s time to recover and get that record straight. Once again, the lines are …
Rays catcher Kelly Shoppach burned the Rangers for two home runs in Game 1 of the ALDS Friday. Seeing him hit the dinger was worth it just to watch the fan in center field throw it back with ferocity: Over and over and over again. Oh, so worth it. …
I hadn’t seen that ESPN commercial until my buddy Sam at Play Action Picks shared it with me, but it’s definitely a good one. There’s nothing quite as awkwardly amusing as furry love. What would be sick is seeing Bucky Badger fight …
The NBA owners have locked out the players and the sides are working on negotiating a new collective bargaining agreement. There is currently a soft salary cap and a maximum placed on the amount of money players can earn. Kobe Bryant is the top …
Above is Boston Bruins fan Anthony Sorrentino. He told NESN.com that he shaved the Bruins logo into his back hair in an effort to score tickets to the team’s home opener. I don’t know what wooly sweater decorations have to do with …

The Atlanta Braves blew an 8.5 game playoff lead in September, but you could consider them lucky. Thanks to the Red Sox’s historic collapse, the failures of the Braves have been somewhat overlooked. Not anymore. Allow us to enjoy this moment of …
Peyton Manning had been a bastion of good health throughout his NFL career until succumbing to a neck injury recently. In early September, the All-Pro quarterback had a third procedure on his neck, ending his streak of 227 consecutive starts. His …
Brandon Jacobs has a message for all the people doubting the New York Giants, and it’s one that may sound familiar. “The people outside that want to say they’re fans and don’t believe in us, I couldn’t care less if they …
The good news is there’s nowhere to go but up. It goes without saying that Del is not proud of the picks he has made through the first four weeks of the NFL season. While the Top-3 would still have you in the green if you were riding those, …
You may recall two weeks ago when we passed along news that some fans in Denver were planning to purchase billboards aimed at convincing the Broncos to start Tim Tebow. The idea worked and Tebow ended up playing wide receiver in a recent game. Sure …
While most of the Red Sox are accepting full responsibility for the team’s collapse in September, some people are blaming external factors. Adrian Gonzalez is one of those people. The Red Sox first baseman put together MVP-type numbers this …
Chargers defensive tackle Antonio Garay has some balls and he’s not afraid to express who he is. The dude wears his personality in his hair, and apparently on the street. How many other 6’4″ 320 lb. men do you know who roll around …
