OK, which one of you leaked my art to Deadspin?
Twisted, but kind of hilarious. Kids draw the darndest things.
Tom Brady wears man-UGGs
That is all.
Awesome Curtis Martin feature
Read this. Curtis Martin is cool.
L Millz be available
The Pirates will non-tender rapper-outfielder Lastings Milledge. His career has not gone the way we — I — hoped it would. He doesn’t hit well enough to be a corner outfielder or defend well enough to be a center fielder. He’s still just 25 though, so someone will take a flyer on him. Probably won’t be the Mets.
People blame Norah Jones for bedbugs
Among other things. Just click around Gothamist for a while — it turns out Norah Jones’ neighbors really don’t like her.
Now, the sandwich porn you’ve requested
Excellent work by Jennifer Connic revealing the secrets behind the Milburn Deli’s “Gobbler” sandwich. I keep hearing about the Milburn Deli. It’s about an hour from my house but only about 20 minutes out of the way on my next trip to D.C. Worth it?
Ron Artest awesome
Ron Artest pranks a Rockets’ post-game show. He also a) is a Mets fan who raps about Jason Bay and b) hosted a “Fcuk LeBron party,” not to mention his own championship parade in Queensbridge to celebrate his NBA title with the Lakers. FWIW, I pranked WFAN once about seven years ago when I was very bored. Made it on the air and got my joke in, which prompted an apology to the listeners from the host. I thought it was Adam Schein but he doesn’t remember it.

Sean Smith of baseballprojection.com will not be updating his Chone projections or WAR pages this offseason because he has taken a job with a team. Good for him and for more nerds making headway in baseball, bad for those of us who wanted to see the projections. Where’s he going and what will he be doing there? “I can’t tell you which team, and I can’t tell you what I’m working on, so please don’t ask.”
Even more Cole Hamels photos, sort of
Brendan Bilko is doing tremendous work rounding up photos of Cole Hamels. His latest find: A family using a cardboard Cole Hamels cutout as Flat Stanley. These are images of an image of Cole Hamels.
