W2FY Recommends: Clean Bottle, the easiest to clean water bottle you’ll ever see

If there’s one thing I’ve found from years of using recovery shakes, protein powders, Accelerade, and God knows what else I’ve put in my body, it’s that water bottles are a pain in the ass to get clean. The stuff you put in there cakes to the sides, is impossible to get out, and after like a month, your bottle smells like shit and you can’t even use it anymore. So, when I found out about Clean Bottle, the water …

From the Vault: “This one’s for the athletes worried about drug tests”

In honor of Alberto Contador testing positive for banned substances (and denying them, putting the blame on bad meat), we thought we’d take a look at the best excuse for failing a drug test we’ve ever seen. Last year Tom Boonen tested positive for cocaine in his blood, and used this classic as an excuse: Worried about testing positive on your NCAA drug test? Just use Tom Boonen’s excuse – “I was very drunk. I do not know what happened, …

Read this: NFL Training camp means holdouts

Bill Simmons: I remember only two things about my eighth birthday: John Hannah and Leon Gray. Back then, my beloved Patriots loved running left behind tight end Russ Francis, left tackle Gray and left guard Hannah. All three made the 1976 All-Pro team. A drunk guy could have rushed for 1,000 yards behind them. Heading into the ’77 season, agent Howard Slusher convinced Hannah and Gray that they were underpaid — which they were — and that their best possible …

Read this: ESPN OTL “Seats of Gold”

ESPN: NEW YORK — I am a man of the people, which is why I generously tipped the guy who shined my shoes in a suite near the home plate of Yankee Stadium. Actually, that’s a lie. I didn’t tip him. Why should I? He gets to be in the presence of me and my fellow masters of the universe. Maybe he’ll catch success by osmosis, and that’s tip enough. Someday, if he works hard, he can grow up to …

Is this the dumbest sports article of all time?

Scope out this Discovery.com article on Tour de France riders—I’ll wait here. Or if you’re too lazy, I’ll just tell you the premise: to be a successful Tour de France rider you need to be a superhuman mutant. You need your “lungs, heat, and muscles… to work exceptionally well,” and be able to “pedal at [your] highest level of exertion for extremely long periods of time.” It takes “hours of training a day, year after year,” and a maximum “strength-to-weight …

Shaven, Not Stirred: Why a little chest hair never hurt anybody

Now since you’re reading this website, I’m going to assume you’re following the World Cup at least peripherally, and you know that England was eliminated the other day by zee Germans. Big fucking deal, right? Well, what you may not have known, is that before the game, Wayne Rooney waxed his chest. I don’t know if he did this because he wanted to look good when he ripped it off if they won, or if his girlfriend got tired of …

W2FY Presents: Things I Hate

When I was an intrepid young teenager, I had the great idea to make a website that would be a depository (ha, sounds like suppository. As a side note, that actual sentence came up during a meeting a work today. I work at a mature company) for things that people hate. This predated twitter and all that shit, but it basically would have revolutionized the internet. No shit, I was a genius. Problem was I have no idea how to …

Not So Keen on Robert Green

So, if you haven’t seen it already, here is the goal that led to the Americans tying the Brits in the replay of the Revolutionary War (on a side note, if you didn’t watch the game I am extremely disappointed in your patriotism). Besides the obvious fact that this should have been saved by even a less than stellar 7 year old AYSO goalie, this is how Robert Green will be remembered by the English unless he leads his team …
