James Young is from Flint, Mich., but he might have “California Love.” Boston Celtics fans were abuzz on Twitter on Tuesday morning after someone pointed out that Young, the rookie swingman out of Kentucky, bears a resemblance to deceased rapper Tupac Shakur. This led to the 19-year-old sharpshooter being dubbed “3Pac.” Not sure I see the similarities, but the Internet has spoken. And if the Internet says Young and Tupac look alike, then it must be true.

Richard Sherman Has No Time For ‘Preschool Questions’ During Super Bowl Week
For better or worse, Richard Sherman is not afraid to make his voice heard. The boisterous Seattle Seahawks cornerback has made a name for himself both on the field and off, and he’s already doing his best to steal the show in the week leading up to the Super Bowl. Sherman hit the ground running in Arizona, as he wasted no time in saying some things. He questioned how New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft’s relationship with NFL commissioner Roger Goodell might affect the league’s investigation into DeflateGate. He also was asked about his standing among the league’s best cornerback, especially how it relates to New England cornerback Darrelle Revis. “I don’t measure my
Cialis Commercial Parody Should Help Patriots With Deflated Balls (Video)
Help is on the way for those suffering from deflated balls. The folks over at Benstonium.com are taking full advantage of the “DeflateGate” mess, creating a new commercial parody on the same day ESPN reported a league investigation found 11 of the 12 balls the New England Patriots used in their 45-7 rout of the Indianapolis Colts were under-inflated. The rest of the sports world can go on debating what this actually means for Bill Belichick and the Pats — while trying not to giggle every time they say balls — but we’re going to go ahead and laugh at the crazy with these guys. Deflated balls won’t be a problem for the Pats anymore with the revolutionary drug

Jerry Jones, Chris Christie Share Awkward Celebratory Group Hug (GIF)
Things got super awkward in Jerry Jones’ box at AT&T Stadium on Sunday. After the Dallas Cowboys defeated the Detroit Lions 24-20 in their NFC wild-card round matchup, the team’s owner was obviously ecstatic. And from that excitement, one of the most awkward group hugs of all time was born, thanks to New Jersey Governor Chris Christie. Christie, a lifelong Cowboys fan, enjoyed the game with Jones from the owner’s VIP box. When Dallas won, Christie joined in on a hug between Jones and his son, Stephen Jones, and needless to say, it was uncomfortable. We apologize if you have trouble erasing that image from your memory. Luckily, their divisional round game will be against the Green Bay
Jameis Winston’s Fumble Sparks Awesome Internet Photoshops (Photos)
Jameis Winston and the Internet: A match made in heaven. The Florida State quarterback always has provided fodder for the creative folks of the World Wide Web (we all remember those fantastic crab leg photoshops). During the Rose Bowl, though, Winston might have given his best gift yet. In the third quarter of Thursday’s college football semifinal against Oregon, Winston coughed a fumble in embarrassing fashion when he slipped and fell backwards, allowing the Ducks to recover the ball and race the other way for a touchdown. After that, the Internet did the rest. Never change, you two. Photo of the Night The NHL’s annual Winter Classic was held at Nationals Park
Report: Johnny Manziel Threw Party Friday; Browns Sent Security To Find Him Saturday
Johnny Manziel couldn’t wait just one more week to throw a party. The Cleveland Browns rookie quarterback was fined for being late for treatment for his injured hamstring on Saturday, and Jason La Canfora of CBS Sports has the reason for his tardiness. According to La Canfora, Manziel threw a big party on Friday night that was “attended by many members of the club,” although names were not disclosed. It is unclear if Josh Gordon, who was suspended for the Browns’ Week 17 game against the Baltimore Ravens for violating team rules and was also absent from Saturday’s walkthrough, was at Johnny Football’s rager. LaCanfora added the Browns had to send security to
