Nude Rock Climbing
Sports Buzz A group of rock climbers called the Stone Nudes do it with no clothing or special shoes or equipment.

Motorized Dolphin
Sports Buzz The Innespace Seabreacher makes your jet ski look very, very lame.

Rental Car Rally
Sports Buzz Race a rental car along the backroads stretching from New York City to Montreal. Cannonball Run references aside, this is a different type of race: Controlled checkpoints, a strict no-speeding rule, and lots of communal eating.

Rafael Nadal

Unflappable John McEnroe was so visibly moved by the results that he offered Federer a hug live on air, which is like watching a grizzly bear shopping for tampons. You just don’t see that kind of thing happen every day.
