Brandon Saad Set Up Patrick Kane With A Sweet Spin-O-Rama
So Brandon Saad is stealing Patrick Kane's moves now—and by that we do not mean Saad went on a weekend bender at the Tau Kap house, though one can always hope. Rather, Saad busted out the Spin-O-Rama—which Kaner had learned from Denis Savard—during last night's win over the Wild....
How An Achilles Tear Affects NBA Players (Or, Why Kobe Is Screwed)
The Lakers season begins tonight with their home opener against the Clippers, but Kobe Bryant won't be playing. Bryant tore his Achilles tendon on April 12, and while he's still "ahead of schedule" in his six-to-nine-month recovery, he still hasn't begun running. He will miss at least the first seve...
Yadier Molina Involved In Another Close Play At The Plate
David Ross was called out on this play and maybe he was. Ross didn't argue the call.
