Unfortunately for fans, and segment producers at NBC, the Jamaican bobsled team did not qualify for the 2010 Winter Olympics.
“We’ve been in battles for many, many years,” Chris Stokes, a founding member of the Jamaican bobsled team more than 20 years ago, told The AP in a phone interview. “This is one more.

Provocation: According to Fox Sports’ Jay Glazer, Rex Ryan was provoked three times and spit on before giving Dolphin fans the middle finger. "We all showed restraint. (Rex) showed the greatest restraint," Glazer said. "This wasn't heckled. This was a guy who was going out of his way to incite a fight, to incite some sort of violence to get the head coach of the Jets to ruin his job and to really put Rex in a place he didn't need to be....I mean it was unbelievable, and he just kept going on and on. Then he said, 'I hate you. I hope you die, you fat piece of crap,' and then spit at him." (NYPost) (39)

Tim Tebow Anti-Abortion Hate Mail

Tim Tebow tyduffy 61 Comments »

Abortion is a charged issue, even more so than Tebow. Writing about it galvanizes those opposed, resulting in inevitable feedback. Our friends at Deadspin shared some of theirs.
