The Kevin Ware T-Shirt Ridiculousness on 3/4/13 | Tipped by Quickish |

#cbb +9

You almost have to tip your cap: no non-profit does buccaneer profiteering quite like the NCAA. What other institution would see a tibia snap through a 20-year-old's skin on national television and see dollar signs? In accordance with their rules aimed at preserving the sanctity of amateurism, not one dime from these shirts will go to Kevin Ware or his family. Dave Zirin(via TheNation.com)

Dennis Rodman Goes to North Korea: Last Word on 5/3/13 | Tipped by Quickish |

#politics +6

More than a diplomat, though, Dennis Rodman is Dennis Rodman, and we can't ask him to be Henry Kissinger any more than we can ask a jellyfish to take over the space program. By virtue of his rebounding and defense two decades ago -- and by the vices he's indulged since -- Rodman made history in North Korea. That's enough to know, and anything more from him is too much.
