Yesterday, Colorado voters passed Amendment 64 which legalizes the use and sale of recreational marijuana, even though the state's Governor , John Hickenlooper, opposed it. And in*conceding defeat, he issued one of the best (and funniest) statements about legalized marijuana (although I doubt he...
Oregon running back Kenjon Barner made himself a household name during the No. 2 Ducks' 62-51 over No. 18 USC.
It's not like people didn't know him before - he is one of the nation's most dynamic running backs - but his accomplishments have often been muddled in the dizzying haze of Oregon's...
Three weeks ago, the Heisman race was over.
West Virginia quarterback Geno Smith seemingly had the bronze statue sewn up, but needed a fantastic effort Saturday against Kansas State quarterback Collin Klein, a fellow Heisman contender, to keep his spot atop of the heap.
That fantastic effort...
The Tuesday morning headlines in St. Louis will deservedly go to the Cardinals offense after it blasted its way to a 12-4 romp over Washington in Monday's NLDS Game 2.
But thanks to Jon Jay's defense, those four homers will have to share some space. And Jay's great catch of Danny Espinosa's...
Because I was born and raised in Eugene, Oregon, and because the woo-woo liberal arts college I attended didn't have a football team, the Oregon Ducks are my preferred college football team. But at their game against the University of Washington Huskies on Saturday night, I was...
Conventional wisdom (and that horrific sun exposure truck driver meme) has long held that you need to stay out of the sun or use a high SPF to keep your skin healthy and avoid jacking up your skin cancer risk. But a surprisingly large number of people either ignore the advice, or remain...
A plane carrying the Baltimore Orioles made an unexpected landing on Sunday night and it wasn't so the playoff-bound team could restock on beer and champagne.
According to the Baltimore Sun, the team's charter flight made an emergency landing in Jacksonsville, Fla., after smoke was spotted...
Hooray! Let's all welcome the U.S. Army into the modern age: they've finally decided to provide female soldiers with protective body armor. Previously, women serving in combat had to wear body armor designed for male bodies (that, obviously, didn't fit them properly). More »Post from: Blisstree
Auburn's best offense against Louisiana-Monroe has been trick and lucky plays.
The Tigers used a throw-back to quarterback Kiehl Frazier for their trick play to tie the game at 14 and then took the lead off of a Hail Mary play at the end of the half.
Frazier worked his way out of trouble and...
Cagliari scored in the 88th minute against Palermo to salvage a 1-1 draw, but goalkeeper Michael Agazzi's "dangerous" save early in the match was just as impressive as Marco Sau's late equalizer.
A swerving Fabrizio Miccoli free kick from considerable distance in the 27th minute caught Agazzi...
Aimee Copeland, the young woman who survived a vicious case of flesh-eating bacteria she*contracted earlier this year, was on Katie Couric's new talk show, and her positive, inspiring interview melted our hearts. Watch it and cry, like we did. More »Post from: Blisstree
We’ve already seen the stunning, hardtop-convertible version of McLaren’s MP4-12C super car (you can read our first piece on the 12C Spider right here). It’s an impressive looking machine to be sure. Despite having covered it, we simply couldn’t refuse an invite form the British company to get a...
The cats that live in the Internet are leaking onto the world's football pitches again and this time it was a bad omen for Toronto FC.
Like the Anfield Cat before him (or her), a black cat ran across the pitch in the 83rd minute of Toronto's CONCACAF Champions League match against Santos...
Female genital cosmetic surgery. Honestly, I feel uncomfortable typing those words. In the face of vaginoplasty, I would kind of like to bury my head in the sand and pretend it's not happening. I feel sad just thinking about women who are so insecure about their lady-parts that they choose...

Go ahead and throw yourself into oncoming traffic, jump out of an airplane without a parachute and purposely fall into a den of voracious lions wearing nothing but antelope steaks.
Yep, the season of overreaction has officially arrived. There's no point in living.
To kneejerkers, one quarter...
