Burton is drawing both praise and ire for their new line of ’09 Coalition snowboards. The ‘Love’ line features “vintage Playboy magazine photos as the main design element,” prompting at least one 14-year-old girl to write to the Vermont-based company and complain.

Whereas Mac would take his frustrations out on the umpire, Youzhny does so on himself, repeatedly smashing himself in the head with his Head racquet—a sponsor along with adidas—after a close call at the ATP Masters match while playing Nicolas Almagro. Blood started streaming down the face of the tennis player and he had seek medical attention.
