What is going on in the NFL?
In case you haven't heard, JaMarcus Russell will work out for the Chicago Bears on Friday. Tim Tebow hasn't sniffed a job since getting cut by the Jets. More NFL teams are interested in a guy who derped himself out of the league via overeating and cough syrup abuse than Tim Tebow, who ran for 5 yards a carry and threw two touchdowns in a playoff game just a year and a half ago. Let that sink in for a second.

Sure, Tebow hasn't always been spectacular in the NFL, but he's demonstrated that he can be an effective runner and complete basic passes. There is room for players like this (Brad Smith, Ronnie Brown) in the league. Russell hasn't even played a down of football in the NFL since 2009. So why is JaMarcus getting the tryout over Tim? What do these scouts see in Russell that they don't in Tebow?
Gregory Campbell’s broken leg epitomizes the NHL’s “Because It’s The Cup” slogan.
The Stanley Cup playoffs bring out a seemingly inhuman level of competitiveness from hockey players. They skate, hit, shoot and work a great deal harder than you ever see during the regular season. Granted, this phenomenon happens in all sports, but never is it more obvious than in hockey.

During the second period of last night's double-overtime thriller between then Pittsburgh and Boston, Bruins center Gregory Campbell layed down to block Evengi Malkin's shot.
Events like the Boston bombing “feed into a paranoia” that leads to rights being “tossed aside,” he says.

Alec Baldwin was not pleased to hear the news that the National Security Agency has continued to collect the data of millions of Verizon customers, but has complicated feelings over its larger implication.
"I think that the post-9/11 world is one in which people tell themselves that they'd rather be safe than sorry," Baldwin said in an interview at a press event in New York on Thursday for his new block of adventure programming on NatGeo. "And although I have an understanding of that and an appreciation of it, I do think that the democracy that we believe in and tell ourselves that we believe in, to preserve it, it takes a lot of work. And it seems that we live in a world now where people aren't willing to do the hard work and heavy lifting."
Baldwin was quick to acknowledge that the U.S. faced very real ideological enemies, and cited April's Boston bombing — and the two Chechen-born terrorists behind it — as an example of the seemingly broad range of people eager to hurt Americans. That, he said, "feeds into a paranoia."
"I think what's happened in government is, on a non-partisan basis, is we're not willing to work harder. There are many, many hard working people, but I'm talking about in terms of to conduct a policy, they sit there — and this began in the previous administration — they said let's just make this easier on ourselves," he added. "Let's just do what we need to do, an if something is going to get jettisoned, if we're in a lifeboat and we need to throw something over the side and lessen the load here to ensure our survival, some of these rights will be tossed aside. That's a shame."
At the same time, Baldwin, who is a noted critic of Rupert Murdoch, said that the NSA collected hone call data didn't quite compare with the rampant phone-tapping done by British tabloids.
"This is not [Prime Minister David] Cameron's Downing Street that's for sale to the News Corporation people," he said. "This is not a Prime Minister in bed with a kind of nefarious corporate type who is willing to rape people's rights to sell newspapers. You think to yourself, you can't imagine that happening here. And it doesn't happen here, I don't think — whether Murdoch was doing wiretapping here, we'll never know."
Perhaps crunching the odds in his head, Baldwin amended his prediction.
"You might have had people deleting emails and shredding documents here to cover it up. You have to assume maybe it did happen," he decided. "But we'll say to ourselves that it didn't happen here, but other things happened. And what's happened is that the government in a post-9/11 world is going to cut a lot of corners, and it's a shame."
There had to be at least one worse, right?
Jilleen Liao took this video of an impromptu rave in NYC's Tompkin's Square Park in 2007 but didn't post it online for a few years. It's a stunning artifact of what is undoubtedly one of the top two worst raves that ever occured in broad daylight in the year 2007. We're just lucky she was there at the right moment to capture it.
Here are some of the best moments for your gif pleasure.

This is the stuff of nightmares. French, Dior-produced nightmares.
The second installation in Dior's Secret Garden video series take us back to where the original was filmed, an eerily beautiful and vacant Versailles.
Model Daria Strokous is the protagonist in this creepy short that asks the age old question, "What if an insane model stole your Dior bag and ran off into a haunted forrest with it?"
And no, she's not just hungry.
The way a lonely mime might.
Now you know this girl is batshit.
These three insanely awesome sixth-graders will melt your heart and your face.

Hailing from Brooklyn, New York, Unlocking the Truth is a metalcore trio composed of 11-year-olds Malcolm Brickhouse (electric guitar), Jarad Dawkins (drums) and Alec Atkins (bassist).
Original members Brickhouse and Dawkins, started their first band, Tears of Blood, back in 2007. Despite their youth, Unlocking the Truth has honed their chops playing for audiences in Times Square, at NYC's The Bitter End, and Amateur Night at the Apollo.
Writing and performing original compositions, the guys listen to everything from metal and hip hop to R&B and pop, and cite Chelsea Grin, Motionless in White, Escape the Fate, SlipKnot, Metallica, and Disturbed among their inspirations.
I want to know who dresses these kids, because their sense of style is pristine. And seriously, how does an 11-year-old own boots this epic??

OK, that's a decent start. But those aren't the most Dalston things that have ever happened. These are...
Big Bird singing this classic Muppet song at Jim Henson’s Memorial is one of the most heartbreaking things ever.
Following the sudden death of Jim Henson, in 1990, two public memorial services were held. The first one was held in New York City at the Cathedral of St. John the Divine and the other one was held at St. Paul's Cathedral in London. Both of the memorials featured Muppet performances.
The highlight of the performances, was a beautifully sad rendition of Kermit the Frog's signature song, "Bein' Green,” performed by Big Bird.
