Because EVERYTHING IS HAPPENING in sports right now, this one has kind of passed under the radar. It shouldn't.

There's a photo of Hockey Night In Canada host Ron MacLean making the rounds on Twitter and HFBoards, and the hockey community is split on its legitimacy. (The awesomeness community is unanimous on its awesomeness.) Unusually for something like this, there's no backstory for the photo or even consensus on where it originated. We're completely at a loss. More »

We thought we'd never again hear the name of Curt Leskanic, who had all the stuff of a journeyman pitcher despite spending seven years in Colorado. He racked up a DUI this weekend near his Orlando home, but even this might not have put him on our radar if not for the fact that he was almost more alcohol than man. More »

Returning from a commercial break, FOX announcer Chris Myers believed his mic was off when he thanks an unknown individual and then specified "bourbon on the rocks." In-game drink order? Post-game plans? What he drank six of last night and that's why he threw up on broadcast partner Tim Ryan's shoes? The world may never know. But let's just assume in-game drink order. More »

We saw Twitter buzz about this last night, but this morning a tipster who shall remain nameless ("College football fans are crazy.
