Tim Tebow captured biting the hand that feeds him tons and tons of attention
Deadspin’s got an investigation and subsequent conclusion on some photos Tweeted by a girl who wound up in a hotel room with Mark Sanchez and Tim Tebow, which it turned out was a totally innocent meet-up related to a charity event. What’s more interesting is the shirt on Tim Tebow:
That is presumably to mock ESPN’s East Coast bias, which has now pretty decidedly been replaced by its Tim Tebow bias. But then I guess you could argue Tebow doesn’t want all the coverage and has a right to wear whatever funny t-shirt he wants, or you could just say screw it and join the rest of society in admiring the way he fills it out.
Foo Fighters guitar guy Pat Smear looks a little like Edgardo Alfonzo
It seemed more apparent during the Global Citizen citizen concert at Central Park on Saturday, but there’s definitely some resemblance there:
It’s no Kruk/Loaf but I like the comp because they sort of fill similar roles — the “shadow hero,” to quote Gary Cohen’s description of Alfonzo. Remember when Nirvana showed up on Unplugged and there was some fourth guy in Nirvana? And you were like, “hey, who the hell is that guy? He’s pretty good at the guitar.” Then he went on to a short stint with the Foo Fighters, left amicably then returned amicably a few years later because it seems like the Foo Fighters do most everything amicably.
As for that: I’m not a huge fan of the band or anything, but their performance in Central Park was awesome. Turns out if you can maintain a two-decade career as a rock star like Dave Grohl has, you’ve probably got some kind of charisma. Also, Dave Grohl’s got about the most impressive discography of any rock musician there is.
Count it
And you may ask yourself, “Well, how did I get here?”
Yup, this happened:

Awesome soccer thing exists

We need to talk about Bryce Harper’s Twitter avatar
Why isn’t this getting more press? What is even happening here? Is Bryce Harper’s idea of fun standing on a rooftop at sunset being pelted by baseballs?
On one hand, he’s 19 and we probably shouldn’t fault 19-year-olds for doing the stupid things 19-year-olds do. On the other hand, he’s really awesome at baseball and plays for a different team in my favorite team’s division. So, you know, get him.
You’re not looking
I thought I told you to look at Mark Sanchez.
“I am smart, capable, and most importantly, I am free in all the ways you are not.”
Keith Hernandez rocked a Tyler Durden leather blazer on the broadcast last night:
Fun fact: I own a really similar blazer. I bought it on eBay my senior year of college for $25 or something. It turns out you have to be Brad Pitt or Keith Hernandez to pull it off.
