It’s NBA playoffs right now so a hoops junkie like me doesn’t really need any extra basketball related distractions in their life but the NBA Europa design concept managed to cut through the endless LeBron and Kobe highlight reels to pique my interest.

Olympic Schwag

It’s Olympics time folks – get ready to hear breathless in-depth analysis of gymnastics, synchronised swimming, pistol shooting and other such malarkey from a bunch of tards who haven’t given any of these ‘sports’ or their participants a seconds thought for… four years or so.
