Here’s A Shocking Report on “Subway Surfing”

The Metro paper spoke to a Brooklyn man who used to “surf” the subways back in the day, but he only did it on elevated lines and stopped when one of his friends died.

Arvay Adams is a designer from Baltimore and he’s got a Kickstarter plan to create shirts and custom caps like these to honor the teams of the historic Colored Hockey League, founded in 1894. Seems like hockey is the whitest sport… just because its black pioneers aren’t in the history books. For some context, watch the ESPN video below. Read more »

Last night, at the most over-hyped press conference in NBA history, LeBron James announced his plans to play for the Miami Heat, pissing off both of New York City’s tabloids resulting in these identical back cover lines, which aren’t nearly as bad as Cleveland’s reaction.
