- SPORTSBYBROOKS has photos of the Playboy bunny that Andrew Bynum was photographed carrying around on his shoulders and the third one is…outstanding. Laker fans should feel good about Bynum’s workout regimen — there’s no doubt that he’ll be back at 100% for a playoff run.
- YARDBARKER has video of Andrew Bynum hula hooping with a couple of playmates.
- Will Leitch over at DEADSPIN brings us his “Ten Humans of the Week” column, though I don’t agree with his take on Gus Johnson.

- DEADSPIN has the story of a 36-year-old Pennsylvania man (with a 17-year-old son) who hosted a high school party complete with cheerleaders, booze and a stripper poll. This is what happens when you knock someone up at the age of 19.
- BACK PORCH (FANHOUSE) has video of Va. Tech Hokie fans chanting TEA-BAG-PAUL-US while Duke guard Greg Paulus was at the free throw line. I watched the game and thought they were chanting BEAT-GREG-PAUL-US, but what they come up with was a lot better.
- In light of the news/rumor that he won’t return to ESPN next season, AWFUL ANNOUNCING pays respect to Emmitt Smith by listing his top 10 “Emmittisms.” Good stuff.

- CHRIS COOLEY describes having to fend off overzealous fans during his night out with Alexander Ovechkin at a UWC fight.

- AWFUL ANNOUNCING has the story of three brave USC “Song Girls” who will be spending a night in a “haunted” hospital as part of a reality show.
- While I agree that Duke is unlikely to make the Final Four this year, IN GAME NOW takes things a step further and makes the claim that the Blue Devils won’t make it that far in the next FIVE years. Why? Well, because they’re “not athletic enough” (i.e. too white).
- One of my favorite news sources, THE ONION, reveals that Nate Robinson is now jumping over Dwight Howard in his everyday life.
- SPORTSBYBROOKS has the story of a fugly 39 year-old women who got 14 months for having sex with three members of a local high school football team. This breaks a string of about 10 straight fairly hot female-teacher-sleeps-with-student stories. Though technically, this one’s not a teacher.
- SI finally fessed up about why they airbrushed away Danica Patrick’s tattoo and DEADSPIN has the quote. Fascinating stuff.
- SPORTSBYBROOKS has the story of a hot New Jersey Nets dancer who claims to be a direct descendant of one Abraham Lincoln.

- Female DEADSPIN writers deconstruct the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue.
- THE LOVE OF SPORTS has a great list of the one-hit wonders of the NBA All-Star Game. You know, guys who made the team and didn’t really deserve it.

- SPORTS CRACKLE POP has video of T-Mac’s embarrassing dunk attempt the other night. Is anyone trying to trade for this guy now?

- DEADSPIN has video of another Billy Gillispie/Jeannine Edwards awkward interview segment. What is with this guy?
- BUSTED COVERAGE has video of a drunk, half-naked Steelers fan who celebrates the only way he knows how — by power-bombing a young lady. No wonder Pittsburgh didn’t want to have a parade.
- NBA RUMORS says that the Blazers are considering trading LaMarcus Aldridge for Amare Stoudemire. I don’t think I’d do that trade if I’m running the Blazers.
- SPORTSBYBROOKS has the sad news that the NBA has decided to play “G-E-I-C-O” instead of “H-O-R-S-E” at its All-Star Weekend. Sigh.
- SPORTSBYBROOKS has more sad news that only 1% of NFL players were willing to donate to the league’s alumni program that helps to give medical care to former players. Sigh.
