After his 16-save performance in yesterday's World Cup loss to Belgium, U.S. goalkeeper Tim Howard has become a national hero. There's even a WhiteHouse.gov petition to rename Ronald Reagan Airport after him. More important than that, Howard has become an internet meme. The #ThingsTimHowardCouldSavehashtag is currently trending on Twitter, and people have been creative and fantastic with their submissions. Some of my favorites are above.

Did MLB Let Alex Rodriguez Use PEDs

​That's the contention of the new book, Blood Sport: Alex Rodriguez, Biogenesis and the Quest to End Baseball's Steroid Era, by Tim Elfrink and Gus Garcia-Roberts.

Texas Tech Cheerleader Kills Animals. Internet Angry.

Kendall Jones has posted pictures of herself with dead elephants, hippos, lions and other animals she's killed during visits to Africa. Predictably, the internet isn't happy and tried to get Facebook to remove the posts. I am staying neutral on this one because the last time I wrote about hunting, I got more angry emails than for any other item I've ever written. Speaking of things people are angry about, the black bar in the LLOD photo gallery is being fixed as we speak so you'll soon be able to view the entire photo. And that's good news. 

Feud Alert: Tampa Bay Bucs vs. Fox Sports Live

Fox Sports Live ranked all 32 NFL teams and the Buccaneers finished No. 32. The team was not happy about the ranking, and since it's 2014, Tampa Bay took its gripes to Twitter and asked fans where they would rank Fox Sports Live as a source of reliable sports news.
