After a melancholy winter, Ace is ready for the new season:

Ace is an ump

Ace knows how to ring up opposing hitters:

Jermaine Dye's guns it to Subman at the plate with TC Bear burning rubber on his way home. Will he get tagged out?

No looking back for the Terriers

Huddersfield Town decided to get a new mascot; this is the tragic tale of the transition (thanks to the Guardian football section):

A bit of argy bargy down the stretch makes for a photo-finish in this 100-yard dash:

Sparty downed in gladitarioal combat

We all know that 'The Battle of Carthage' was the best scene in Gladiator. Here's a watered down version where PSU's Nittany Lion employs his own, customized chariot to down MSU's Sparty:

Raymond starts off with a bit of boogying, before taunting the O's third base coach, and then eventually paying the price. And when he tries to grass him up to the umpire, his complaints fall on deaf ears:

Raymond has no mercy for the sleeping

Boltman on sale

Wanna buy the San Diego Chargers' Boltman costume? Well it's on sale. As long as you're not Al Davis, that is:

"I wouldn't sell it to Al Davis, if he called me up himself," [owner] Dan Jauregui said, despite a report in Saturday's San Diego Union-Tribune that said he won't turn a Raiders fan away.

ESPN has the details.

Slider the fighter

After vanquishing one foe, Slider turns his attention to some kind of steel opponent (is it a bottle?) and gets nailed by a sucker punch (of sorts):

Donald (allegedly) can't keep his hands to himself

According to the Smoking Gun, (literally, not figuratively):

While visiting Epcot Center in Florida, a Pennsylvania woman alleges that a Disney employee dressed as Donald Duck grabbed her breast and molested her after she sought an autograph.

After the alleged groping, Donald Duck made gestures--apparently with his snowy white hands—“indicating he had done something wrong,” according to a lawsuit filed last month by April Magolon. The Upper Darby woman, 27, was visiting Epcot with her children and fiancé in May 2008 when the incident reportedly occurred.

Magolon, is suing Disney for negligence, battery, and infliction of emotional distress, and is seeking in excess of $50,000 in damages. The entertainment giant has petitioned to have the lawsuit, which was filed in Pennsylvania’s Court of Common Pleas, transferred to federal court in Philadelphia.

According to Magolon’s complaint, she has suffered “severe physical injury, emotional anguish and distress including, but not limited to post-traumatic stress disorder” as a result of the run-in with Donald Duck. She also contends that the incident was “one of a long line of continuing, long standing, similar prior incidents” involving the groping of patrons by costumed Disney employees.
