He's Baaaaaaaack!

The last time any of us saw Tom Brady in an NFL game that counted, he was being sacked four times, intercepted twice and denied a seventh trip to the Super Bowl as the Denver Broncos won 20-18. The oldest active starting quarterback in the NFL returns from his four-game Deflategame suspension on Sunday, making everyone on the 3-1 Patriots more dangerous. He's one of the many interesting storylines heading into Week 5 of the NFL season.

He's Baaaaaaaack Too!

Tiger Woods confirmed Friday that he will play a Tour event on Thursday for the first time in over a year, sending Twitter into a frenzy. Currently the 767th ranked player in the world, Woods will play the first two days paired with 15th ranked Phil Mickelson. The last time Woods played an official round? Over 400 days ago; the same day the Yankees were retiring Andy Pettitte's number.

Patience Silva: Lovely Lady of the Weekend

Work until you no longer have to introduce yourself is one of Patience Silva's mottos. Here's hoping her run as Lovely Lady of the Weekend helps her achieve that goal a little big quicker. (Here's the full-size gallery.)

Ranking NFL Fan Bases By Their Tom Brady Hatred

Ranking NFL fan bases by how much they hate Tom Brady

No. 10: Pittsburgh Steelers

When your team has challenged the Patriots for AFC supremacy over the last decade, there's going to be some animosity.

No. 9: St. Louis (Los Angeles) Rams

This picture was taken BEFORE Brady and the Patriots upset the heavily–favored Rams in Super Bowl XXXVI. So, yeah, it's intense. Whether anti–Brady sentiment continues in Los Angeles remains to be seen.

No. 8: Denver Broncos

Broncos fans despise Tom Brady. Why? We're not entirely sure. Brady has a losing record against Denver, including a 1–3 mark in the postseason. But the hate is visceral. Maybe because the Pats refused to bow down to Tim Tebow.

No. 7: New York Giants

Why do Giants fans dislike Tom Brady so much? It's hard to say, considering New York is 2–0 in Super Bowls against Brady. But talk to almost any Giants fan about Brady, and you'll quickly sense the hatred.

No. 6: Baltimore Ravens

Ravens fans dislike Tom Brady, but no one hates the Patriots more than linebacker Terrell Suggs, who called the Pats "the most arrogant pricks in the world." He has also said he doesn't like Brady's "smug attitude" or his hair.

No. 5: Oakland Raiders

The Raiders haven't been competitive for most of Brady's career, but their fans are still irate about the "tuck rule" decision that allowed New England to beat Oakland in the playoffs in January 2002.

No. 4: Miami Dolphins

The Dolphins have actually beaten Tom Brady nine times in the regular season, more than any other team. Not bad! But 'Fins fans still hate Brady for dominating the AFC East year after year.

No. 3: Buffalo Bills

Brady has dominated the Bills more than any other team. Brady's career record against New England's AFC East rival is a staggering 25-3.

No. 2: Indianapolis Colts

Colts fans really don't like Tom Brady. First, there was the rivalry with Peyton Manning. Now Brady is dominating Andrew Luck. And since 2010, New England is 7–0 against Indianapolis. Also, remember Deflategate?

No. 1: New York Jets

Does this need explaining? Jets fans treat Tom Brady like he told them Bruce Springsteen was never returning to MetLife Stadium.

The Only Known Color Photos of the Only Perfect Game in World Series History

Mickey Mantle patrols centerfield. Mantle, the Triple Crown and AL MVP winner that year, was the other star for the Yankees that day. His fourth-inning home run gave Larsen the only run he would need, and Mantle preserved the perfect game one inning later with a running catch on a Gil Hodges fly ball to the gap.

The old Yankee Stadium scoreboard shows the linescore: no runs, no hits and no errors for the Dodgers, two runs, five hits and no errors for the Yankees

Fans used to exit Yankee Stadium by way of the field, where they would pass by the three monuments—to former manager Miller Huggins, first baseman Lou Gehrig and, of course, Babe Ruth—that were actually on the field of play in front of the centerfield flagpole.
