You're looking at the future career for all those puppies who don't cut it in broadcasting when their Puppy Bowl playing days are over — they referee table games between their masters' children. It seems like a pretty sweet gig for a happy dog if it has the energy to bounce around like a motorized pogo-stick as well as the temerity to show its family that it is perfectly capable of eating table food whenever it damn well pleases and only by virtue of its good manners does it still beg underfoot. I'll warn you, though, this video will probably test your depth-perception — the dog bounces back and forth over the net and I pretty much had a panic attack thinking he'd hit his snout if he wasn't more careful.

Jamie is young, but his talent is clear. He just sits on that table, relaxed as can be, taking the serves as they come. Does he cry when he misses a ball? Nope, he just nails the next one, and the next one, and the next one. More »

Half-empty stands for table tennis at the Games in China, the country most obsessed with ping pong, have reportedly motivated the International Table Tennis Federation to sex up its image in hopes of gaining more attention. The ITTF is encouraging female players to wear skirts and shirts "with more curves" to encourage more viewers to watch. With more curves? Like padded shirts? Why aren't the men being encouraged to play topless and in tiny, fitted shorts? And why is a sport more interested in selling the bodies of its (female) players, rather than selling the sport itself?
