Hockey Coach Throws His Players' Sticks Onto Ice During Tantrum

This Dodgers-Themed Dia De Los Muertos Altar Is Awesome
Here's a cool thing that was spotted by our friends at Sons of Steve Garvey over the weekend. It's a traditional Dia De Los Muertos altar that was erected in a Los Angeles cemetery by a family that wanted to honor their cousin. This kind of makes me want to die a Dodgers fan. ...

Riley Cooper Hasn't "Been Through" Anything
Nick Foles, a quarterback for the Philadelphia Eagles, gave an interesting quote to Peter King after a seven-touchdown performance today. One of the day's storylines was that Riley Cooper, one of Foles's receivers—you may recall that he made headlines over the summer for calling someone a "nigger"—...

Nick Foles Goes Berserk For A Seven-Touchdown Day
Michael Vick was sitting with a hamstring injury he re-aggravated last week, so Nick Foles got his chance as Philadelphia's quarterback of the week. It's safe to say he did an acceptable job, throwing an astounding seven touchdowns (along with 406 yards) in a 49-20 rout of the Raiders....

Don't Pay For NBA League Pass Broadband! It's Straight Up Garbage.
We're starting to get complaints from people who paid their hard earned money for NBA's League Pass Broadband, presumably because they were unaware that it is just about the worst thing in the world, and are now angry because they're stuck with a non-functional service and horrifyingly non-responsiv...

How To Make Beef Stroganoff, Which, Hey, Remember Beef Stroganoff?
Remember Beef Stroganoff? That gray mushroomy stuff your adult caregiver made a few times back when you were a kid, and then it vanished off the face of the earth, and then you completely forgot it existed, and now you're going, "Oh, yeah—Stroganoff! Whatever happened to that stuff?"...

Tim Kurkjian Talks About Dicks And Urinal Etiquette, For Some Reason

GOALIE FIGHT!
The Capitals took a 7-0 dump on the Flyers, but some measure of revenge (Momentum? Enforcement? What's this bullshit supposed to be about again?) was gained with a full line brawl in the third period.

That Time Mike Schmidt, Age 38, Scored From First On A Wild Pitch
A reader named Brad wrote in to ask if we could track down the video for this one. It's Hall of Fame third baseman Mike Schmidt scoring from first on a wild pitch during a game against the Mets on April 18, 1988. Hardball Times remembered it several months ago, on the occasion of its 25th annivers...


Why The Hell Does Your Drink Cost So Much?
I'm not ambitious enough to be downright thrifty, but I try to avoid abject retail stupidity. I know better than to buy paper plates when the free magazines and underwear catalogs that clog my mailbox are perfectly capable of supporting even the hammin'est of sandwiches. I drink tap water, and I'm s...
