FanHouse: Wed AM 'Manny Ramirez in Love' Edition

I cannot recommend this video of Manny Ramirez enough. The tenderness on display is something you just have to see for yourself in order to fully appreciate it.

Meanwhile, in bulleted news:

• This fan cam video might have been better if the Seattle Supersonics hadn't "kind of pooped on themselves."
  
• Slash takes off his giant hat for the national anthem.
• Dodger pitches his best game of the season with his zipper wide open.
  
• This humanoid robot has come from the future to dominate your air hockey table.
• Olympic swimming champion Amanda Beard is posing in Playboy, and our own Michael David Smith knows that's a good thing.
• John McEnroe: murder suspect.
• Mr. Mickelson, here's the kryptonite that can take down Tiger.
• Video evidence that Optimus Prime can dunk behind his back.
  
• IMG Turns to College Sports: Why it could be good news for fans.
  
• Less good news for fans: The Brewers would like to inspect their prostates.
• Pictures have surfaced of that ball Vernon Wells through back to fans. It was no urban legend.
