Custom Cleats
The NFL finally got something right! Players are allowed to break uniform policy and wear cleats to promote charitable organizations in Week 13 (see gallery below). Would it really be so bad if this were allowed year round? (Click here for full-size version.)

Down Goes Golden State
I’m still shocked every time the Warriors lose, and Thursday night it happened in Oakland at the hands of the Rockets. James Harden recorded his fourth triple-double even though he wasn’t amazing down the stretch. Stephen Curry fouled out. And Ryan Anderson hit three after three. I would not mind for this to be a playoff series. (Also shocking: My Heat getting a road win against the Jazz!)
Cowboys Keep Rolling
Dallas won its 11th straight game Thursday night, squeaking past the free-falling Vikings. Dak Prescott and Ezekiel Elliott weren’t dominant, but they did just enough to win. The Vikings have to feel robbed, though, because it appears officials missed a penalty on the game’s deciding play. Minnesota fans are now starting to find unique ways to describe this season.

You probably aren’t welcome at Justin Verlander's and Kate Upton’s new home, but you can buy Colin Kaepernick’s.
DUNK BREAK

LeBron still has it.
