The Los Angeles Lakers pulled out a 101-100 victory over the Charlotte Bobcats last night, bringing their record to 12-14 in Pau Gasol's return after an eight-game injury absence.

But who cares? Did you see Gerald Henderson's throw-down?!?

The shooting guard cut down the lane, caught a bounce pass and appeared to use a trampoline in order to rise head and shoulders above all defenders.

The best part? Watch the reaction of a LAKERS' bench player to the slam. We have a feeling Kobe Bryant won't be happy to see it...

Gerald Henderson Dunk: WOW!

Wow. That was faster than an Adrian Peterson touchdown run.

Just two weeks after announcing their engagement, Samantha Steele and Christian Ponder were married yesterday. The couple exchanged vows inside a Minnesota courtroom.

Steele is an ESPN college football reporter, while Ponder tries really hard to play quarterback for the Minnesota Vikings. He only has a 78.6 rating and 14 touchdown passes this year, however.

Still... look at Steele!

Ponder may be unable to hit Percy Harvin on a crossing pattern, but he must be doing something right when he's practicing out patterns at night with such a personal tight end. If you know what we mean!

Congrats to the happy couple.

New York Giants wide receiver Victor Cruz visited the home of Jack Pinto, the 6-year-old Connecticut school shooting victim who idolized the NFL star.

Jack was among 20 children who lost their lives Friday in Newtown, Conn., when a crazed gunman open fire inside Sandy Hook Elementary School.

Upon learning that Cruz was Pinto's favorite player, the 26-year-old reached out to the family, and visited their home for a touch football game Tuesday.

Victor Cruz honored Jack Pinto during Sunday's game against Atlanta, writing the slain child's name on his shoes. Then he went the extra mile Tuesday.

This just in: it's very expensive to break one's penis.

Just ask Ray Elbe.

The MMA brawler was rushed to a hospital in Malaysia last week after rough sex with his girlfriend resulted in a fractured unit, one with blood spewing out everywhere that required emergency surgery.

It's an incident Elbe describes in harrowing detail below. Be warned, fellas. Be seriously warned...

Ray Elbe Talks Broken Penis

Now, TMZ reports Elbe actually took photos of the mangled love-making tool and is looking to pay his medical bills by selling them to disturbed interested parties.

Are you among them? How much would you shell out for pictures of Ray Elbe's bloody and broken junk?

Popular New York Jets quarterback Tim Tebow reportedly wants to leave the team and will request to be traded or released after the 2012 season.

The move is expected if backup quarterback Greg McElroy starts the final two games of the season for the Jets, the New York Daily News reports.

McElroy, a second year pro, was given the start for this Sunday's game against the San Diego Chargers due to the fact that starter Mark Sanchez sucks.

In the course of just a few weeks, Mark Sanchez may very well go from riding Eva Longoria to riding the pine.

The New York Jets lost out on any hope to make the playoffs last night when Sanchez threw four interceptions in an ugly 14-10 loss to the Tennessee Titans.

He now has 24 turnovers this season, 50 in the past two seasons and the time may have come for Coach Rex Ryan to make a change - especially when the possible son of God is Sanchez's backup.

"It doesn't feel good hurting your team like that," Sanchez said. "It's not a winning formula. It never feels good."

Ryan has not yet named a quarterback for next week's game against the Chargers, but Jets fans may officially rebel if Sanchez is under center.

Do you think Mark Sanchez should be benched?

UPDATE: Greg McElroy has been named the starter. Someone tell us, why did the Jets sign Tim Tebow again?

The University of North Alabama confirms it has kicked a player off the team after he fired off a racist slur in a Tweet about President Barack Obama.

Coaches made the move after Bradley Patterson complained that Obama's Newtown speech pre-empted Sunday night's Patriots-49ers NFL contest.

University sports publicist Jeff Hodges said the school found that there’s no question the tweet was issued by Patterson, and that he used a racial slur.

Patterson joined the University of North Alabama team as a walk-on after the fourth game of this season. He has now been issued his walking papers.

Ray Elbe, an Ultimate Fighter, was rushed to a Malaysian earlier this month after breaking his penis during intercourse.

No, really.

The grapper actually discusses the incident in detail below, explaining that "blood was everywhere" and he immediately passed out after his girlfriend came down a bit too hard on his erection:

Jimmy Clausen has made very few headlines as the backup quarterback for the Carolina Panthers.

But the former Notre Dame star changed all that today when he Tweeted a photo of the shirt he plans to wear during the January 7 National Title game between his alma mater and Alabama.

Check it out for yourself:

Yes, Notre Dame is a Catholic university. We doubt he'll receive much flak for that label.

But referring to the school's opponents as "cousins?" It's hard not to wonder how some southern folks might feel about that.

So you tell us, southern folks! What do you think of the Catholics. vs. Cousins t-shirt?

Victor Cruz of the New York Giants was surprised and touched to learn he was the hero of Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting victim Jack Pinto.

Pinto, who died Friday, used to wear Cruz's jersey during Giants games.

On Sunday, Cruz returned the favor in a way, writing Jack's name on his shoes for the team's game against the Falcons, who crushed New York 34-0.

Cruz was definitely a winner regardless of that result; after the game, he addressed the media and tried to make sense of the tragedy and his ties to it.
