1. Cristiano Ronaldo isn’t impressed, either.

In fairness, Andres Iniesta had just beaten out both Ronaldo and Messi to win UEFA’s 2012 award for best player in Europe, so it was a surprise. But that face: even McKayla might be impressed. [@SoccerByIves]

2. Did Floyd Mayweather actually bet $3 million on Michigan against Alabama?

No proof from Floyd himself, but they say so. [Detroit Free Press/Incarcerated Bob]

3. Kris Humphries is totally sure he didn’t give that woman who’s suing him herpes.

Not much to add to this one, really. [Gossip Cop]

4. Today in great bobbleheads: Vin Scully, Bruce Lee.

Nice going, California-based baseball teams. [Darren Rovell, Big League Stew]

5. Not sports related, still important.

Best photo of a lion ever; Italy paints pigeons to make them more beautiful for tourists; The best beer ad of 2012; Superman dates Wonder Woman: The worst hook-up in comic history?
