Meet 'Zim Bear', the ungodly mutant spawn of Rays coach Don Zimmer and a bear. Isn't he/it terrifying? Of course he/it is. Great news though, according to the Rays promotional schedule, this hideous creep-beast will be given away at the June 29th Rays home game. That's right, given away. For free! So if your kids happen to be in the market for a stuffed animal/person that will more than likely be the emotionally damaging first step in their growing up to be a serial killer, mark your calendars!

We saw this during last night's Kansas State-Missouri game and at first wanted to believe this kid was giving a halfhearted fist pump. However, upon further inspection, mainly of the part of his mouth that looks like it has an invisible penis in it, it's safe to say he is instead pretending to give a halfhearted blowjob. Oh, to be young and degenerate again.

In the fast-paced world of TV sports journalism, mistakes are bound to happen. You might mislabel a player's chyron, misspell a team name, or get a stat wrong. And there's always the odd unthinkably racist headline that makes its way to the screen. But there's still no excuse for these egregiously inappropriate or patently absurd errors that eagle-eyed citizen journalists have captured and posted to the Internet for our collective enjoyment and head-shaking.

WWE Champion and genuine badass CM Punk just gave up "not beating the crap out of Chris Brown" for Lent. He and the Rihanna-bashing R&B singer have been in a quickly escalating war of words on Twitter. After Mr. Punk mentioned his desire for "curb stomping that turd," Mr. Brown then inaccurately accused Punk of taking steroids — perhaps the lamest comeback in Twitter-war history. Mr. Punk, tired of wasting time on "a sad, cowardly little boy" like Brown, created this video last night, challenging Brown to a fight with the proceeds going to a women’s shelter of his choosing. So let's all spend our Ash Wednesday praying our brains out that this brawl actually takes place.

When Dave Chappelle visited the Golden State Warriors locker room following their win against the Los Angeles Clippers, he probably just wanted to shake a few hands and congratulate the key players.

The assassination of Martin Luther King, Jr. couldn't end racism. The elections of Nelson Mandela and Barack Obama couldn't end racism. But CNN thinks an above-average Asian point guard has a good shot. First let's see if Jeremy Lin can end the Knicks' decade-long tendency for finishing the season below .500, then we can judge him on his ability to solve humanity's centuries-long tendency to hate one another based on skin color. And if CNN was referring only to the end of racism towards Lin himself, they might want to check with their journalistic brethren at The New York Post and ESPN. Pretty sure the answer is a flat "nope."
