Birds On Ice: Condor Gets Loose at Minor League Hockey Game [VIDEO]
Having done more than my share of minor league hockey play-by-play, I can appreciate a good call of the wackiness that happens when you combine chaos theory with not-well-thought-out marketing strategies and sporting events. This is called minor league sports. I've dealt with a team that changed its name to the Cow Pattys, seen a team play when it snowed through a hole in the El Paso County Coliseum roof and more. So I can appreciate the reaction of these announcers when faced with a large condor that decided it didn't want to be in a hockey rink. Imagine that!

With so many amazing moments Super Bowl XLVII may well go down as one of the most memorable, if not controversial, championships of all time. What better way to memorialize it than to bust out some haiku?

Is Volkswagen’s Super Bowl Ad Racist, Mon? [VIDEO/POLL]
We're not quite sure what Volkswagen is trying to tell us in this ad for the new Beetle that will run during the Super Bowl this Sunday. In it, white people speak like Jamaicans. Is the new Bug a happy-making machine? Is it haunted by Marley's Ghost? (Bob Marley, of course.) Or, does it have a secret compartment of pot that sparks up with the ignition and blows smoke through the vents? At any rate, the real question people are asking is...is this ad racist? Vote below!

Jimmy Fallon Salutes the Lance Armstrong Interview with a Song [VIDEO]
Betsy Andreu, the wife of former Lance Armstrong teammate Frankie Andreu, said they heard Lance admit to doping while talking to a doctor. Lance, in his kind and gentle way, not only testified under oath that he never said it, according to Betsy he also called her a crazy fat be-yotch. He admitted to Oprah that he called her a crazy be-yotch, but he NEVER called her fat! That would just be the worst, right? Jimmy Fallon thought so, too, and thought it would make a great country song...
