Today in Random Badassery: The Biggest Wave Ever Surfed (Video)

Meet Garret McNamara, a surfer with balls the size of small planets. How else do you explain a human being willingly riding a 90 foot wave (that's the equivalent of a nine story building) off the coast of Portugal, setting a world record in the process. That shit cray. See more...

First off, I think we can all agree that Drake's claim that the 2010 Miami Heat is the greatest NBA team of all-time is a travashamockery.

Although a completely willing, and extraordinarily well-payed pawn, Jay's essentially being used as a pawn here by real estate moguls. See more...
