Adorable Kid Rushes The Court In The Middle Of A Game
This moment, from last night's Oklahoma-Baylor game, isn't quite as adorable as two dogs invading a soccer pitch, but it's still pretty goddamn cute.

Hockey Coach Uses Glasses And Cane To Mock "Blind" Referee, Gets Ejected
Sometimes I think junior hockey exists to give the smaller, underserved cold-weather markets a local team to call their own.
