Martin St. Louis Honored For 1,000 NHL Games, Scores Goal, Falls Down
Tampa Bay is honoring winger Martin St. Louis tonight on his achievement of playing in 1,000 NHL games (set last week in Los Angeles), and the Lightning captain made it an even more special night for fans by scoring his ninth goal of the season in the first period. Then he celebrated so hard he fel...
How To Draw Athletes The Ed Emberley Way
I didn't know from Ed Emberley's Drawing Book: Make a World when I was growing up and I'm not exactly sure how I missed it. Drawing was something I could do well from an early age. But while I was reading Richard Scarry's books and the story about Mike Mulligan and his steam shovel, Emberley was tea...
Navy Almost Lost Last Night Because They Scored Too Many Touchdowns
Navy's Keenan Reynolds set an NCAA record for rushing touchdowns by a quarterback last night by finding the end zone seven times. Midshipmen coach Ken Niumatalolo would have preferred Reynolds stopped at three, because his fourth allowed a San Jose State comeback that forced Navy to win in triple o...
But Seriously, What Was Southampton's Keeper Doing On This Goal?

Why Baylor Is Porn For Football Nerds
In football, which operates on a tight cycle of coaching innovation and theft, it's rare to see enormous outliers. The college game is littered with coaches who found one legitimate schematic advantage, rode it for a year or two, watched it become the norm, and fell back to the pack once they could ...
Clarke MacArthur Goes Between His Legs For A Beautiful Assist
The Ottawa winger threaded his own needle—and a pair of Wild players—to set up Kyle Turris's shorthanded goal. Though Minnesota won, and MacArthur didn't get onto the scoresheet beyond this assist, it was pretty enough to get him named the game's second star....
Lowsman Trophy Watch: Kareem Martin Is The Last Thing A QB Sees
Each week, Football Outsiders recognizes the most outstanding college linemen, defenders and other darkhorses from the previous weekend who are habitually overlooked in the hype for that other award (whatever it's called). These are the Lowsmen....
A Three-Man Front Is A Late-Game Defensive Formation For Suckers
The weekend, as I watched the absurd denouement of the Northwestern-Michigan game, something struck me as familiar — beyond the now-routine bumblefuckery that inspires the Wildcats to turn fourth-quarter leads into triple-overtime losses. No, it wasn't simply that Michigan drove in the dregs of game...
Which NFL Teams Have Started The Most Quarterbacks, 1999-2013?
As has been noted, when Jason Campbell led the Browns onto the field in week 8 he became the team's 20th starter since the 1999 season, their first back in the NFL after the Art Modell saga. Intrigued, we decided to compile data on the rest of the NFL's starting quarterbacks over that time period, w...

Jon Stewart Rips Chicago Pizza A New Saucehole
On last night's Daily Show, Jon Stewart tackled the council decision that named One World Trade Center America's tallest building, surpassing the Willis (née Sears) Tower. But while toasting to intracity harmony, a pair of commentators had the gall to trumpet Chicago-style deep-dish pizza as one thi...
