This article has been submitted by Sports Socialite. Okay. Admit it. We all do some pretty wacky things when we’re drunk, and it’s not our fault. Whether it be sliding down the stairs on a mattress, streaking through the quad into the gymnasium, or puking on a peacock, we’ve all been “that girl/guy.” But Allan [...]

And to cap our week off, T-Smith threw down yet another Stats 101 article over at Hoops Addict. This time he examines defensive stats, from opponent FG% to defensive efficiency. Holler at it!

Okay, so the picture probably isn’t a fitting one, since Manny Ramirez more closely parallels The Joker than Batman, but the image is important. It is Manny Ramirez…in a Los Angeles Dodgers uniform.

Today’s VoD comes from Mo-Cash but is, unfortunately, a link to a video on the NikeFootball website. No embed. My bad, but still, sweet 3-minute short, definitely works to get me amped for some soccer. Holler at it!

This article has been submitted by Stu Wilkinson. That’s right folks, it’s time for some NFL talk on The On Deck Circle!
