Without the NHL, Canada's broadcasters are scrambling. The CBC, which airs Hockey Night in Canada on Saturday evenings, has a massive programming block to fill.

Calvin Johnson Says He Suffered A Concussion. The Lions Say He Didn't.
Lots of football players get concussions. That's how it works.

We're Searching For The Greatest Clip In <em>College Gameday</em> History
Back when I was going to school in the early 1990s, watching College GameDay was one of the highlights of my week. It still remains a rare diamond in the ESPN shitpile, left relatively unchanged since the early days of Chris, Lee, and Kirk (adding Desmond Howard to the mix was bullshit). But the sho...

Charlie Weis Does Not Want Kansas's Student Newspaper Asking Him Questions
Charlie Weis got a little snippy last week after The University Daily Kansan, Kansas's student newspaper, published a cover illustration of a tiny Jayhawk clinging to a goalpost being carried by a burly Kansas State Wildcat.

Here Is (Some Of) USADA's 1,000-Page Report About Lance Armstrong Doping
We wrote about this earlier today, but now the full 1,000-page report is available online. [Update: We were promised 1,000 pages. The below falls well short. Was USADA's press release doping, too?] We'll be spending some time combing through it to see if anything stands out. The entire report is be...
Carolina Panthers Championship-Guaranteer Ryan Kalil Will Be Out For The Season With A Foot Injury
Panthers center Ryan Kalil showed some—what? temerity? balls? poor judgment?—something back in July when he took out a full-page ad in the Charlotte Observer guaranteeing a Panthers Super Bowl victory.
