UNC Players Spray Painted The Visiting Locker Room After Beating Duke

Justise Winslow Hurdles Stanford Player's Head To Block His Shot
In case you hadn't heard, Duke freshman Justise Winslow is pretty athletic.

Korean Legend Dae-Sung Koo Gets An Entertaining Ejection At 45
Pitcher Dae-Sung Koo was only in the MLB for 2005, but he had one memorable highlight that season when he scorched a double off Randy Johnson. (It was a neat moment.) Now 45 and a legend in Korean baseball, Koo pitches for the Australian Baseball League's Sydney Blue Sox, and though Sunday's ejectio...
Vladimir Tarasenko Did It Again
This weave through the Devils defense, finished off with a bad-angle snipe, doesn't quite match the explosiveness of the similar move that Vladimir Tarasenko pulled off against the Rangers on Monday. Don't care. Still adopting Tarasenko as my new favorite toy this year. I hope he keeps it up, or he'...

Oskar Blues Old Chub Does Canned Scotch Ale From Colorado Proud
If you want to be taken seriously in the American beer-geek underground, the first thing you've got to do is grow a big, nasty beard. This is a bit of a challenge for the many aspiring beer geeks who happen to be women or unscuzzy men, but rules are rules. I need to see your beard before I can hear ...
Large Blue Jackets Fan Dancing In Extreme Slow Motion Is Heavenly
Meet "Dancing Kevin." He's a Columbus Blue Jackets staple, and it seems he pulled out all the stops for Saturday's home opener against the Rangers, enlisting the help of a nearby bear to guzzle multiple cans of Labatt Blue and dance with everything God gave him.

<em>Blue Ruin</em> Is A Great Revenge Thriller About How Dumb Revenge Is
Every revenge movie eventually has to address the idea that, hey, maybe revenge is a really bad idea, that maybe you shouldn't organize your entire life around killing the person who wronged you.
