In Which the Stupid Gets Even Stupider
From Uni-watch.com: When I wrote about the Warriors’ new sleeved jerseys a few weeks ago, I mentioned that Adidas would also be bringing sleeves to the college level this season. They made good on that promise (or threat) yesterday, as three Adidas-outfitted schools unveiled sleeved jerseys for postseason play, and three more unveiled new uniforms with a traditional tank top format.
As you can see above, all six designs feature truly foul-looking striped shorts paired with solid-colored jerseys. This follows the precedent set with the Warriors’ sleeved uni, which has a solid top paired with pinstriped shorts. Can’t say I understand this approach — even if you like striping (which I don’t), the mismatched jersey/shorts format is a total train wreck and feels like little more than a provocation. Seriously, does anyone like these? Anyone at all? I mean, sometimes I can see why certain people might like something that isn’t my bag, but I honestly can’t imagine a single fan digging these. The fact that all six designs are essentially part of a “Team Adidas” template just makes it worse, since no school can claim this design concept as its own (not that any school would want to, but still).

Caleb Moore dies after crash
Caleb Moore, an innovative freestyle snowmobile rider who was injured in a dramatic crash at the Winter X Games in Colorado, died Thursday morning. He was 25.
Moore had been at a hospital in Grand Junction since the crash in Aspen one week before. Family spokeswoman Chelsea Lawson confirmed his death, the first in the 18-year history of the X Games, which is produced by ESPN.
A former all-terrain vehicle racer, Moore switched to snowmobiles as a teenager and quickly rose to the top of the sport. He won four Winter X Games medals, including a bronze last season when his younger brother, Colten, captured gold.
Caleb Moore was attempting a backflip Jan. 24 in the freestyle event when the skis on his 450-pound snowmobile caught the lip of the landing area, sending him flying over the handlebars. Moore landed face first into the snow with his snowmobile rolling over him.
Moore stayed down for quite some time, before walking off with help and going to a hospital to treat a concussion. Moore developed bleeding around his heart and was flown to a hospital in Grand Junction for surgery. The family later said that Moore, of Krum, Texas, also had a complication involving his brain….

49ers Cornerback Chris Culliver Is Not Cool With Gay People
Yesterday, Chris Culliver sat down for a radio interview with shock jock Artie Lange. There was no mention of suckingcock.com, but the conversation did turn toward gays in the NFL. Here’s how Culliver responded when Lange asked him if any players on the 49ers were gay:
I don’t do the gay guys man. I don’t do that. No, we don’t got no gay people on the team, they gotta get up out of here if they do. Can’t be with that sweet stuff. Nah…can’t be…in the locker room man. Nah.
How progressive! The interview came to a hurried conclusion at that point, with Culliver saying something about gay players needing to wait ten years after retirement to come out.

Inauguration Day In Post-Racial America: George Stephanopoulos Thinks Bill Russell Looks Like Morgan Freeman
Never mind that Morgan Freeman looks nothing like the 6-foot-10 NBA Hall of Famer: The Celtics cap with Russell’s number on it apparently wasn’t enough of a clue for Stephanopoulos, either. With a nudge from David Remnick, Stephanopoulos—a Massachusetts native—quickly corrected himself. But not before his error was so memorably captured for closed captioning…
Mocked Turtle
From Uni-watch.com:
With a few exceptions, NFL coaches are pathological control freaks who bellow and scowl as they try to maintain dominion over every little facet of their fiefdoms. So it’s always amusing when one of them is caught with his fly down, literally or metaphorically. That was the case on Saturday, when Jim Harbaugh — who happens to coach my favorite team but comes off as Grade A jerk pretty much every single week — was wearing his mock turtleneck backwards. Over a dozen Uni Watch readers noticed, and so did a few media outlets. Go ahead and smile, Jim — it doesn’t hurt, honest.

MLB Teams Are Getting New Batting Practice Hats. Some Of Them Are Neat. One Of Them Features A Screaming Indian
Uni Watch got its hands on the designs for the new batting practice hats that each of MLB’s 30 teams will be unveiling in the coming months. Some of the hats are great, like this one, which brings back the A’s old elephant logo. Unfortunately, the Atlanta Braves’ hat looks like this:
What the ……..?
**WARNING — YOU CANNOT UNREAD THIS STORY … AND IT’S GOING TO MAKE YOU CRINGE **
… ESPECIALLY IF YOU ARE A MAN.
… OK, LAST WARNING
… SERIOUSLY, THIS IS MESSED UP.
OK, HERE WE GO …
MMA fighter Ray Elbe — who competed on “Ultimate Fighter 9″ — had to be rushed to a hospital in Malaysia earlier this month and required 10 stitches … after he BROKE HIS PENIS during sex.
Elbe told the whole story — in painfully graphic detail — on an MMA website … explaining how he was having sex with his GF, who was “on top” … when she bounced a little too high, and crunched Ray’s erect penis.
According to Ray, his penis “fractured” … and “blood was everywhere.” Ray says he immediately passed out from the pain.
Ray says he was rushed to a nearby hospital … and underwent emergency surgery to close the wound and repair a “slight tear” in his urinary tube.
Elbe says the pain was so severe after the surgery, his johnson was “throbbing with each heart beat.”
Elbe says he expects to make a full recovery — and was ordered to take “anti-erection pills” for two weeks.
The fighter says he learned a hard lesson from the experience — and will never let his GF be “on top” ever again.
Elbe also explained, “In an attempt to make it up to me … [my GF] has promised me a threesome of my choice when we get to the Philippines … which usually has some solid talent.”
