Also, I am told by experts that this is not, technically, twerking. Fine with me.
But Ashley wasn’t the only draw at Supergirl — in fact, she wasn’t even the biggest one. Bethany Hamilton pretty much rules women’s surfing these days as far as popularity.
Kaley Cuoco is the actress who plays Penny on the “Big Bang Theory,” a primetime CBS sitcom that would be popular regardless of quality, because of its channel and time-slot. She is reportedly dating American tennis player Ryan Sweeting, who used to be decent at tennis.
Penny is the attractive girl on the show, which means Kaley is the attractive girl in this relationship. Oh, and apparently she was a nationally ranked tennis player as a teenager, so, yeah, sports.
Jason Dufner’s PGA Championship win yesterday was a victory for the goofy, boring people of the world. In a game known mainly for being plodding and methodical, played by the world’s worst-dressed and most awkward people, Dufner would probably be the poster boy, except that this was his first major win and Tiger Woods exists.
Dufner posted a 2-under-par 68 to beat second-place Jim Furyk by two strokes. Two years after losing a four shot lead with four holes to go, the man best known for creating a meme simply by being himself added another layer to his ungainly mystique by winning in super-boring fashion. It’s as if a chubby, confused looking Shia LeBeouf made a movie about being the most boring golfer alive.
Some quotes, direct from Dufner, about his win yesterday.
“For me, golf is a little bit more boring. I hit it in the fairway or I didn’t.”
“I would say I was pretty flat-lined for most of the day.”
So yesterday was already strange enough. Then his wife appeared, and we were once again reminded how unfair this world can be. The boring, goofy guy who plays golf gets the babe? I picked the wrong life, man.
Here’s Amanda Dufner celebrating with her meme-able husband. She apparently has a very touchable butt. Hashtag journalism.
[Update: For some reason, this article earlier called Dufner Australian. That is false. He is a good ol' boy from America.]

A relatively nondescript college football player received a notification that a Dallas Cowboys cheerleader was following him on Twitter. The world hadn’t yet heard the story of Manti Naivité’o, but this man, Oklahoma State senior (then-junior) safety Zack Craig, was not naive. He was skeptical.
Zack Craig, an Oklahoma State senior safety, is a very lucky young man. Jordan Daigle, a Dallas Cowboys cheerleader, was watching the Oklahoma State – Oklahoma on November 24th last year when she saw Craig go to midfield for the coin toss. She thought he was cute. Her friend went online, looked up Craig on Twitter and made her follow him. Understandably, Craig wasn’t immediately certain a Cowboys cheerleader looked him up online out of the blue. (Keeping in mind this was before Manti Te’o introduced college football to catfishing.) From the Daily Mail:
‘Do you think this girl is real?’ he asked his sister Mallory, an OSU grad student. ‘Do you know someone who’s trying to play a joke on me?’
It turned out to be real.
Amazingly, this was really happening. Craig was able to find her on the Cowboys Cheerleaders website and they started talking over Twitter. By May they were Facebook Official and taking turns driving the 4 hours between Stillwater and Dallas over the summer.
Congratulations, Dustin Johnson, golfer, and Paulina Gretzky, Wayne Gretzky’s Daughter and Instagram Hall-of-Famer! You’re engaged to be married, and you deserve it. You’ve brought us prosperous times of clicks here at SportsGrid, so we truly wish you the best.
In honor of your impending nuptials, we bring you, a slideshow, starting, tastefully, with Paulina’s engagement ring, ending, and ending, tastefully, with standard pictures of her in a bikini.
It’s called a John Varvatos plaid button-up shirt, but surfers don’t give in to the tyranny of garment-fastening devices. Here’s our favorite surfer, Anastasia Ashley, whom we met on Aug. 6 at the Surf Girl Pro competition in Oceanside, CA. Ashley was filmed doing a not unattractive warmup/twerk dance prior to one of her heats, and the moves apparently led to this: a fashion spread for Relapse Magazine.
I’m not sure how many female surfers are hanging out in Brooklyn dressed like this: my guess is zero. More Relapse photos below, plus some other various swimsuit shots.
Anyway, welcome to the 2014 ESPN The Magazine Body Issue, or the 2014 SI Swimsuit Issue, whichever gets there first.
As we just told you, UCF quarterback Blake Bortles is trying to steal Johnny Manziel’s Football and become Blake Football. And as we just learned, via Busted Coverage, he is one step closer to generic-nickname-worthiness, because his girlfriend is very attractive.
We will show you a slideshow for this reason, because we have little shame.
Jameis Winston was incredible for Florida State in Week 1 against a not very good team (Pitt). Thus, the public has anointed him as a major Heisman Trophy candidate.
And thus, Busted Coverage, per usual, has discovered his girlfriend. (Strangely, a talented quarterback has a girlfriend. Weird. Ignore this.)
Her name is Breion Allen (@_LifeIsBreezi_) and she plays basketball for Rice.
As always, we thank them for their services. And as always, we will give the people what they want: a slideshow.
Alex Morgan and Sydney Leroux are in Hawaii, getting in some bikini time before the three U.S. Women’s National Soccer Team friendlies this month (Australia in San Antonio and New Zealand twice, at Candlestick Park and in Columbus, Ohio). Another drink, waiter: I don’t care what it is, as long as there’s alcohol and it comes in a coconut cup.
Good lord this photo is unfair. Alex Morgan is so hot and Sydney Leroux is just stacked. Lord have mercy. pic.twitter.com/QMmKDktA1h
She was on Australian TV recently, and embarrassed herself by breaking a hurdle. This is what happens when a hurdler gets famous for something other than hurdling.
We’ll just leave this old slideshow here as a token of respect for Michelle and all she has done for our humble website.
Today Sports Illustrated is dropping the mother of all pageview click traps — if your coffee table had a unique views counter, you could sell ad space on it. Okay, enough industry jargon: Here’s a book with photos of single model (all 223) that has ever graced the pages of SI’s “Swimsuit Issue.”
In celebration of its 50th anniversary, “Swimsuit: 50 Years of Beautiful” details how the swimsuit edition went from eight-page afterthought to one of the biggest annual media reveals around. You’re likely quite familiar with the magazine, as well as the various stars it has created, from Kate Upton to Tyra Banks and Elle MacPherson. But the book promises features like “Things We Made Them Do” (sounds creepy, but we’ll bite), “Off The Clock” outtakes and, of course, the “Bodypainting” photos.
There are even some pro athletes with their shirts off — like Joe Montana and Michael Phelps — in there as well, so it’s fun for the whole family.
We all know how important Sports Illustrated’s swimsuit extravaganza has been to the fabric of popular culture — and to sex-crazed young men/sex-crazed old men/sex-crazed females/basically every type of human — over the last five decades. So here’s a taste of the 304-page hardcover below, courtesy of Goodman Media International, Inc.:
Did you know?: Every edition of the swimsuit issue has had a female editor-in-chief. Keep that in mind as you scroll through these photos, and check out the sample layout that we couldn’t publish here.

When a pornstar tweets butt photos at you, you notice. But when you’re in charge of a pro football team’s twitter account, well, think twice about tweeting back. There’s kind of a stigma there…
The Seahawks promptly removed the tweet, but as we’ve all come to learn in the twenty-some-odd years of the internet — you can never completely erase something once it gets out there. Either way, awesome.
Randall Burbach is a man who lives on the edge. When the Corbett Middle School (Portland, Ore.) football coach began planning the team awards dinner, he decided to let his 12- to 14-year-old players choose the venue. And the kids of course chose to have the party at Hooters.
Plans for the dinner, first reported in the Oregonian, were outlined in a letter to parents by the school’s athletic director, J.P. Soulagnet.
“I spoke with Randy Burbach this evening and asked him to move the event to a different venue,” Soulagnet said in the letter. “He was unyielding and emphatically said no for a number of reasons. As a school district and athletic department, we do not support nor condone the decision to hold an end of season celebration at Hooter’s for any of our teams.”
So Burbach was fired (he was a volunteer coach to begin with). But since only one set of parents declined to let their son participate, the party at Hooters is still on — they’re just not referring to it as a school event.
All because one brave man took a stand for breasts.
And now, the greatest quote on the Internet so far today. Burbach:
“I’m not taking them to Hooters for the sexual overtones. If they do as well as they did for my boys when they were 12, it would be a great experience.”
The Hooters chain recently turned 30 years old, and most stores have undergone a total remodeling to keep up with the times -- think Chipotle, where all of the servers are girls with large breasts wearing tank tops. It also should be noted that Hooters has a kids' menu, high chairs and booster seats. Have fun, kids!

This is complete bull****, ladies and gentlemen. A French weathergirl who promised to get naked if France qualified for the World Cup had to make with the goods on Tuesday (France made it by one goal). But does it count if you’re filmed at a distance in a field, where only cows can actually see it’s you?
Les Bleus were down by two goals in aggregate before its final qualifying match with Ukraine, so Ms. Tillier was feeling pretty confident she would stay clothed. Then, France won, 3-0. My bet is that Ukraine gave up that final goal on purpose, because they have TVs too.
Canal+ made a big production of it, holding off on that night’s weather forecast to ramp up interest. But as you can almost see in the video, the payoff more resembled a Monty Python sketch than a nudie show. “How not to be seen …”
Call the network Canal-minus?
Putain.. 2-0 pour la France. Je commence a stresser.
