SportsFilter: The Friday Huddle:
A place to discuss the sports stories that aren't making news, share links that aren't quite front-page material, and diagram plays on your hand. Remember to count to five Mississippi before commenting in anger.
Isner-Mahut still sounds great together. In a better world they would marry and take that name.

I assume Isner's name on the tour is "Marathon Man".
I still remember being at work and everyone talking about that match (while it was still going in day 3) and placing bets on when it would finally end.

Awesome old-timey baseball photographs.
I especially like the last one, with the player tagging out the corpse.

Today is the first Friday of June, and thus it is National Doughnut Day. SpoFites, let us celebrate the day with an appropriate look back to 1988.

The Giants are reportedly upset that TE Martellus Bennett, who they signed as a free agent this off-season, showed up for OTA's weighing 291 lbs.
That's a lot of Cap'n Crunch (youtube).

Joey Barton goes to see his doctor.
"Doc", he says, "I've got this problem that whenever I look at myself in a mirror, I get sexually excited."'
"That's not surprising", replies the doctor. "It's because you're a cunt."

John Isner is going to die young at this pace.
