If you thought that KFC’s Double Down was the worst thing in the world that you could eat, you find out that it’s not so bad. Crunch the numbers and its not that bad. (FiveThirtyEight)

Ex-Globe and Mail columnist Bill Houston is a bitter old man. He doesn’t really understand this whole blogging thing. Especially the part where people are upset that he would bash a reporter for using an anonymous source when he’s pulled the same trick before.

A while back, we ran a story about a man whose six-year-old son was present for a bathroom sex show at a Chicago White Sox game. Well, the Taiwanese CGI news gurus have recreated the events of the day in question. (The Sporting Blog)

Anyone else watch that 20 inning marathon between the Mets and Cards this weekend? Well, what if that game got turned into a 20 act play that’s on par with the works of the great bard? (SB Nation)

Today’s first photo gallery is a very large riot at a small college. They just don’t riot like this anymore. (Deadspin)

Today’s second photo gallery is a look at what some popular websites would look like if women ran them. (College Humor) I think that you’d get an HTTP 404 error if women had their say about The Lowdown Blog being operational.

ESPN’s Jon Miller is no Vin Scully but he does a pretty good Vin Scully. He does an even better Latin and Japanese Vin Scully.

The NFL draft starts on Thursday but don’t tell Todd McShay that. He’s struggling enough with the touch screen. How the hell is he going to analyze if he’s busy fighting the equipment.
