Via Fox News: “An American athlete who took part in a controversial black-power salute at the 1968 Olympics says an Australian parliamentary apology to silver medalist Peter Norman might have come too late.”

But don’t worry: Indians color commentator Rick Manning managed to not even succeed at being bigoted. Video, after the jump.

The Olympics, at least in theory, are all about togetherness and people of all stripes putting aside their differences and forming one great brotherhood of man. Things like that. Greek triple jumper Voula Papachristou, though, fell a tad short of this ideal.

The producers on the Today Show ran some footage of Jerrod Johnson this morning. The only problem? They were talking to Mike Vick.

I’m not sure how Conor Daly survived this crash. His car was going one billion miles per hour, flipped up into the air and slammed into the ground. As the announcer notes, the fencing did its job – even if it didn’t lessen the visual horror. Video after the jump.

Well, once New York Post troll Phil Mushnick wrote that column disparaging Jay-Z and the Nets’ black and white color scheme and suggesting that turning the Nets minority owner really loose would result in the team being re-branded as the “New York N—–s,” some reader vitriol in response was guaranteed. What did Mushnick think of the reaction?

With the family of slain teen Trayvon Martin in town, Carmelo Anthony wanted to do something special. So he brought Trayvon’s mother and brother into the Knicks locker room for autographs and photos, and most importantly a welcomed break from the incredible whirlwind their lives have become. It was a great moment — and Bill Walker photobombed the hell out of it.

Basketball and Broadway aren’t exactly a natural pair. But neither were Magic Johnson and Larry Bird, subjects of the new play Magic/Bird opening April 11 in New York City. What results isn’t a masterpiece of a production, however the sports elements of the show are rich with both reality and nostalgia.

Sirius XM radio personality Dan Graca said some pretty inflammatory things on his show yesterday, including a “guarantee” that Trayvon Martin would be alive if not for his hoodie, and that he can’t figure out the message behind the Heat posing in support of Trayvon.

That was fast. Ben And Jerry’s released a limited edition ice cream called “Taste The Lin-Sanity” yesterday, for sale exclusively in Harvard Square in Boston. It was decided that Jeremy Lin tastes like vanilla frozen yogurt, lychee honey, and fortune cookies. Not surprisingly, the fortune cookie bit didn’t go over so well — but not for reasons you might think. B&J’s explanation for its ingredient reversal after the jump.
