Chelsea had a 3-0 lead over Manchester United in their Premier League clash just over a week ago, but somehow (Howard Webb?) managed to only manage a 3-3 draw, and instead of getting a new boost to their 2011-2012 campaign, Andre Villas-Boas looks more and more like the man to pay for this very disappointing season so far.

Hottest PETA Model Ever – Joanna Krupa
Joanna Krupa used to date UFL quarterback Mike McMahon, who also has some NFL time written down somewhere on his resume, but you can guess we like the Polish-American model for… other reasons.

Zambia Celebrate Another Drogba Africa Cup of Nations Failure
Zambia weren’t the best team before the tournament, and they certainly didn’t play the best football during the 2012 Africa Cup of Nations.
