Possibly the most questionable photo we've ever posted.

True story, albeit not one we're proud of: last Saturday night, we had some friends in New York. Things started out in Manhattan (Georgetown vs. Memphis into the Heisman proceedings), but they had a party to attend in Brooklyn, and we had to hit up Queens for a similar fete. We live in Queens, so we all agreed to meet there. Long story short: merriment is had, and at about 1:30am, they show up to a bar in Queens. We're sitting there, NIKE wrap hat and IPod both on, sipping a brewdog and listening to Jay Z's "Song Cry." Our friend says to us: "This is like a really bad version of that George Bailey scene in It's A Wonderful Life." Truth. (Read this.) Indeed, it was a questionable week: Rick Reilly wrote about Tyler Hansbrough, who no one seems to have a clear handle on how to perceive. Bill Simmons chimes in on a few questionable grapplers with the new Mickey Rourke flick out. What's not questionable? Some other cool stuff we brought ya. Click on through.

Eric Maynor is a cool dude, so we decided to give him a video camera.

Time to hand out some MMA Awards for 2008.

Completely unsurprising: LeBron James is going Hollywood.

The editor-in-chief of this Magazine really likes Terry Metcalf.

Tim Tebow, gone viral.

Turner Gill on lessons from Tom Osborne.

Damn, it feels good to be Scarface.

Stephen A. Smith thinks Oscar De La Hoya shoulda known better.

Some serious ballers are coming from PG County in MD.

Jerel McNeal and Maurice Acker on Marquette: tight like Pop Rocks and soda, yo.

And as for questionable, our man Lil Wayne does this mailbag, and someone says: "Better pure scorer in their prime, Kobe or Michael?" Whadda think Weezy said?
