Many, including myself, wish Billy Madison and Happy Gilmore were never made because it allowed for the creation of Happy Madison, which has released such gems as Paul Blart Mall Cop, Zookeeper, The Benchwarmers, The Animal, and Deuce Bigalow European Gigolo.

November 11th is Mark Sanchez’s birthday. On this day, the Jets signal caller turns 25.

How Long Were Your MLB Team’s Games In 2011? [INFOGRAPHIC]

This infographic comes to us from Flip Flop Fly Ball, the visually stimulating creation of Craig Robinson… no, not THAT Craig Robinson. The site contains baseball infographics and “other visual treats” like the Mets and Yankees logos but in the other’s teams color schemes. Mind blown yet? Anyway, I’m a Mets fan. Occasionally, I watch the Yankees. Mets games take like 2 seconds. Everybody strikes out then someone sac flies a guy who got on because of a three-base error to win the game. Meanwhile, Yankees games are like epic Roman tragedies with 8 intermissions. I have to shave once the final out’s recorded. Well, I finally have proof that Yankees games should only have 6 innings.
