The Onion's sports articles are always fantastic and usually incredibly accurate in the details. I got the Ecstasy of Defeat for Christmas and haven't stopped laughing. Some of my favorites:

Bill Belichick's Tears Eat Through Podium

That contains my favorite line in Onion history:

quote:

As Belichick sloughed grotesquely into a liquid heap, he was reportedly heard to ask if this is what love is.
Stephon Marbury Embroils Celtics' Big 3 in Elaborate Shakespearean Intrigue
NASCAR Cancels Remainder of Season Following David Foster Wallace's Death
CC Sabathia, Prince Fielder Keep Imagining Each Other as Giant Talking Hot Dog, Hamburger
NFL Meteorologists Warn Steaming Black-Guy Heads Occurring Later Every Year

Someone earlier mentioned their constant portrayal of Tim Duncan as the world's most boring player. This is the best one:

You guys need to catch up on Get Out Of My Face then. It's The Onion's follow-up to their cancelled but incredible Comedy Central show "SportsDome". Speaking of, here's the best "Sportsdome" moment ever.
Get Out of My Face is amazing if you've watched even five minutes of Pardon the Interruption. You also have to watch it multiple times to get all of the hilarious stuff on the bottom. My personal favorite is the one centered around Mark Sanchez injuring his pussy finger.

I read Our Dumb World about once a year and it always kills me. The simplicity of "Minnesota - Land of 10,000 Retards" will never not make me laugh.

I feel like this sums up the thought processes of people who think they can stop mass shootings.

Does anyone know if Tim Duncan is aware of all the Onion articles about him?
No, because he probably still uses dialup if he goes on the internet at all.

Here's my favourite 9/11 related article, from last year.

18-Year-Old Fighting In Afghanistan Has 9/11 Explained To Him By Older Soldier

I am torn on whether or not to blank-post the picture of the 9/11 Subway deal on my Facebook wall tomorrow, or if I should just go into a Subway with a printed off version of it. Do you think they'd honour it? :v: Maybe it depends on the franchisee.
