Shaq likes to read. It would make him happy if you read these two articles. Do you want to make Shaq mad?

Ya got big plans this weekend? Don't lie to us. Here, we'll plot a solid 25, 26 minutes of your time: read these two features, one from the print Magazine and one that's online-only. First: Tim Struby on ice climber Will Gadd, which is in the current issue of ESPN The Magazine. Next: Jeff Bradley on Hull City, a British soccer team that America should start rooting for. (That's going to become a series for us.) Print 'em out and take 'em to the bar with you for Bracketbusters. But be sure to recycle.
