Man Discovers Hockey, Loves It
The NHL convinced one more person to please like its sport last night. A man on Twitter tuned into Game 7 of Blackhawks-Blues, the first hockey game he had ever seen. He tweeted as he watched, and his enthusiasm was delightful....
St. Louis Blues Eliminate Blackhawks From Stanley Cup 'Yoffs
That gif above you is a neat encapsulation of the sort of night the Blackhawks had tonight. The St. Louis Blues took Game 7 at home 3-2 and broke Chicago’s 18-game streak of winning in the playoffs when Marian Hossa scores. Chicago outshot their southern neighbors 33-26, but they gave up two goals i...
Jermaine Marshall Costs Team Playoff Game With Buzzer-Beating Boner
Aris defeated Kifisia 108-103 in overtime today in the Greek League playoffs, all thanks to former Arizona State star Jermaine Marshall’s incredible boner at the end of regulation....
Finally, Patrick Kane
Pushed to the edge of elimination, the Blackhawks haven’t gotten much from their best goalscorers—and the Blues have. Patrick Kane, the NHL’s regular-season points leader, hadn’t found the back of the net through the first four games. Or through three periods of last night’s game. Or in the first ov...
Joey Rickard Teleports A Hit Right Through Josh Donaldson's Glove
Oh, you thought Troy Tulowitzki’s ragged-ass glove would be the only piece of equipment from the left-side of the Blue Jays’ infield to make news this season? Wrong....
The Blue Jays Lost In The Saddest Way
Sometimes, your team really bones it and gives up a walk-off home run. Or maybe they lose after a new MLB rule bites them in the ass. Both of those scenarios suck, but neither is outright embarrassing. The Blue Jays’ 4-3 loss to the Orioles in extras tonight, however, ended in sad, humiliating fashi...
Corey Crawford Lost His Mind For A Second There
I think staged fighting is hockey’s biggest joke and I’m glad it’s on its way out. But give me a goalie hulking out, in full pads, and I lose my mind like a kid who just found out it’s a snow day, or the people from this perfect tweet. So my personal highlight of last night’s very busy 4-3 Blues win...
Brett Gardner Tumbles Butt First Into The Stands To Catch A Foul Ball
The Yankees wrap up a three-game series in Toronto tonight, and they got their second out of the night with a fair bit of pizazz, as Brett Gardner went ass-over-teakettle to make this grab here....
Blues Take Series Lead Over Blackhawks On Fluke Overtime Goal
You take it. It doesn’t matter how lucky or unpretty a goal is, or how little it has to do with the person credited with it, you take the score. Especially in the playoffs, especially in overtime, especially against a Blackhawks team that’s about to get Duncan Keith back. You take the 1-0 series lea...
A Very Rude Blue Jays Fan Found Pablo Sandoval A New Belt
Big-bellied Pablo Sandoval had a bit of a mishap with his belt during Saturday’s game against the Blue Jays. It happened during his second at-bat of the season, and it’s honestly starting to feel like some higher power is ordering Sandoval’s 2016 campaign to be a never-ending fat joke. For example:...
New MLB Slide Rule Costs The Blue Jays A Game And They Are Pissed
Baseball’s controversial new Chase Utley Rule was implemented for the first (update: second) time in a game tonight, and it could not have come at a more crucial juncture. Down by a run with the bases loaded and one out in the top of the ninth, Edwin Encarnacion slapped a grounder to third. Logan Fo...
Troy Tulowitzki Is Going To Ridiculous Lengths To Keep Using His Ancient Glove
Troy Tulowitzki is apparently not the type of person who easily lets go of the past. Tulo has used the same glove for at least five years (or as many as eight, depending who you believe), and even as it was clearly deteriorating back into dust in last year’s ALCS, the Blue Jays shortstop stuck with ...
Kevin Pillar Smashes Into Wall After Spectacular Grab
Kevin Pillar didn’t get a hit in this evening’s 5-3 Blue Jays win over the Rays, but he did manage to make the best catch of this nascent MLB season. Steve Pearce probably thought he had a hit on his hands here. Not so fast....
Marcus Stroman Isn't Talking To You, Man
I wanted to be grouchy about MLB scheduling three games yesterday, because I’m one of those extremely cool guys who believes Opening Day should be on a Monday and every team should play. And yet, it was hard to be in a bad mood while watching 24-year-old Marcus Stroman dice up the Rays....
Coach K Has Pulled This "You're Too Good To Celebrate" Shit Before
In the handshake line after Oregon beat Duke, Mike Krzyzewski scolded Dillon Brooks: “You’re too good of a player to showboat,” he said. When asked about it later, Krzyzewski got pissy with reporters and lied about what he said. Then the audio came out. Krzyzewski apologized, not because he thought ...
Drew Hutchison Gets Smoked By His Own Catcher
This time last year, Blue Jays pitcher Drew Hutchison was getting ready to start on Opening Day. Yesterday, he found himself making his final start of spring training, with one last chance to secure a spot in the big-league rotation. Things were going okay for about four innings, until Hutchison had...
Coach K Apologizes For Lecturing Dillon Brooks And Lying About It
The Oregon Ducks dispatched Duke in the Sweet Sixteen on Thursday, 82-68. Oregon’s last points came off a Dillon Brooks three, which he hit as the shot clock expired with eight seconds left in the game. He celebrated a little, because his team had just beaten Duke, but a bit of silly controversy bro...
Dillon Brooks Says Coach K Lectured Him About Sportsmanship In The Handshake Line
Defending champion Duke is out, falling to No. 1 seed Oregon 82-68 in a game that was decided so early, nothing on the court is going to garner the attention of whatever happened between Mike Krzyzewski and Dillon Brooks in the handshake line. Or didn’t happen, depending on who you ask....

How Many Plumlee Siblings Can You Name?
The thing about the Plumlees is that there are so many of them, and the other thing about them is that all their names start with the letter “M.” A Plumlee who will remain unnamed right now is taking on Yale today, so, to get you ready, we prepared a quiz. How many of these M names are true Plumlee ...
