Canyon Barry Sets Florida Free Throw Record By Shooting Granny-Style Like His Dad, Rick

by Emma Baccellieri

Florida guard Canyon Barry has now made 39 consecutive free throws, giving him ownership of the school’s record for most in a row. And he’s done it with the same underhand heave that allowed his dad, Rick Barry, to retire with what was then the highest free throw percentage in NBA history back in 1980.

Ryan - still have your set?

Infamous price gouger Martin Shkreli has found his next potential scheme, and it’s a little less glamorous than his shady pharmaceutical company: Magic: The Gathering. Shkreli posted on the MTG subreddit last night fishing for details about collecting rare Magic cards. He identifies as a “new and wealthy player” who collects “wine, art and other goods,” apparently unbroken by the reported $4.5 million in unpaid taxes he owed last February.

Oh, Shit: More Than 1,000 Runners Get Diarrhea After Mud Day Event 

by Jay Hathaway

Last year, the Washington Post reported that participating in trendy tough-guy mud runs often comes with a painful case of abdominal cramps and diarrhea brought on by literally eating shit—fecal bacteria mixed in with the mud. More than a thousand people are suffering those ill effects after a popular French event last week. (Not so tough now, are you?)

Forget Frank Underwood, ‘Sesame Street’ Star Frank Underwolf Puts His Schemes to Shame

by Tara Aquino

Sesame Street produced a House of Cards parody, “House of Bricks,” that’ll change the way you view “The Three Little Pigs” fable forever.

In the children’s TV show’s take on the political drama, Frank Underwood (Kevin Spacey) is reimagined as Frank Underwolf, a ruthless townie, with an affinity for talking to himself, on a quest to take blow down all of the weak little houses blocking his way to the white brick house. (Really, all that’s missing is a Claire Underwolf by his side.) Once he gets there, its three occupants gladly surrender their mini-mansion, only to deceive him as he’s done to the rest of the town. The three little pigs huff and puff and easily blow Underwolf’s white house down, which was actually a, wait for it, house of cards to begin with.

Could Sesame Street be foreshadowing House of Cards’ future?

Florida fan creates website campaigning for Miss. St. coach Dan Mullen to replace Will Muschamp (Dr. Saturday)

There are a lot of Florida fans that have had enough of the Will Muschamp era. He has been on the hot seat since last year’s 4-8 campaign, and some haven’t changed their stance this season with narrow wins over Kentucky and Tennessee and losses to Alabama and LSU. With that said, one Florida fan already has a replacement in mind for Muschamp –  Mississippi State coach Dan Mullen – and the fan created a website to explain why.

Times: FSU And Tallahassee Police Have Protected Seminoles For Years

The Tallahassee and Florida State University police didn't obstruct only the Jameis Winston investigation, a New York Times investigation has found. In a meaty story published yesterday, the Times details a pattern of half-hearted investigations by police into incidents involving FSU football players, as well as the active involvement in these cases by the FSU athletic department. Coming only hours after a damning Fox Sports report of the Tallahassee and Florida State police investigations of Winston, the Times story shows this is nothing new for the police.

Here is a nightmare that is also real: The severed head of a cobra snake reportedly jumped out of the kitchen trash in a restaurant and killed the chef who was preparing its body as a meal. The chef, Peng Chen, had removed the head from the Indochinese spitting cobra a full 20 minutes before it bit him. One diner told the Daily Mirror, "We ... could hear screams coming from the kitchen."
