I pour through hundreds of sports photos a day and long admired this Seahawks fan who has the team's logo embedded on his tooth. Sure, anyone can get a sports-related tattoos as a permanent reminder of their allegiance, but getting it on your tooth is a level I hadn't seen before. Until now. Bill VandenBush, who lost his right eye in 1969 while serving in Vietnam, was given a prosthetic eye with a Seahawks logo for his 10th wedding anniversary.

I Am Stephon Marbury

​More details have emerged about I Am Stephon Marbury, the theatrical play in China inspired by the Coney Island native.

There are reports from Chinese media that after his play, Marbury will also star in a TV series titled “New Yorker in Beijing.”

Doug in Toronto requested Daniela Freitas as a LLOD candidate. It's a great choice. I can't believe I had never considered her (click here for full-size gallery).

Sochi. Six Months Later

Remember how everyone feared Sochi would turn into a ghost town after the Olympics and the $50 billion invested in the city would go to waste? That appears to be exactly what's happening, as these photos demonstrate.
