Mad Dash: Streetball legend not cool with 'Sauce Castillo' mania

When a fateful closed captioning error changed Nik Stauskas into "Sauce Castillo," no one could have imagined the phenomenon that would emerge from the Kings guard's new nickname. Now, Sacramento has "Sauce Castillo" night, including free hot sauce for fans. It all happened seemingly overnight, and just about every basketball fan is enjoying the mania. That is, except for one man. Streetball legend "Hot Sauce" isn't a fan at all, and the way he sees it, there can be only one hoops hero tied to the spicy condiment moniker. He told TMZ that he's the guy referenced in a 2 Chainz song and the guy that's appeared in a Mountain Dew commerical. Adding that he was here first, and he'd never even heard of Stauskas before this moment. We think the argument is unnecessary. The beauty of hot sauces is that there are many, and we could never live with just one.

If you've missed the first part of the NASCAR season, fear not. A kid named Caleb C. posted a rap video to YouTube that recaps the first month of action because this is 2015 and kids do the darndest things and their parents will gleefully put it on YouTube. We're not complaining. It's pretty great.

You may not know Matt Foley, the BYU long snapper, from Matt Foley, the motivational speaker that Chris Farley made famous on Saturday Night Live. But to better enlighten the rest of us passing him in the streets, or on the campus in Provo, Foley got an epic tattoo tribute to himself on his shoulder. So in case you were wondering about the identity of THE long snapper, you'll know before you even have to ask.
