Sabres Owner Says Penn State Scandal Is "Not About Covering Your Ass" Before Covering His Ass About Hiring Second Mile Board Member
You might wonder what Terry Pegula, the owner of the Buffalo Sabres, has to do with the Jerry Sandusky investigation. More than Terry Pegula would like you to believe.

Bruins Fans, Canadiens Fans Throw Down In Montreal
Montreal is very much the Boston of Canada, if you replace "wants to be Irish" with "wants to be French." So the Canadiens and Bruins rivalry, which has gotten extra-chippy recently, is an opportunity for the rest of the NHL to stand back and say "let's hope there are no survivors."...

A Musical Version Of <em>Rocky</em> Is Coming To Germany, With The Klitschko Brothers As Co-Producers
The film was always about boxing, but it's also a love story. "Stallone said he had long thought that a musical transfer for the 1976 Oscar-winning drama was a good idea, in particular if its romantic side was amped up." Given the dreadful state of boxing's heavyweight division, the Klitschkos are ...

How Delonte West's Mental Illness Affected LeBron's Final Year In Cleveland, And Why You Never Heard About It
I started working on The Whore of Akron in June 2009, before LeBron's walk year began. No one at that time saw much evidence that he was actually going to walk, not until after the Cavs lost to the Celtics in the second round of the playoffs and he started talking about "my team" in reference to the...

Meet Jim Hawthorne, LSU's Lovable Play-By-Play Man Who Gets Every Call Wrong
Many Yankees fans love their clumsy, theatrical announcer John Sterling, even though he whiffs on so many calls. But Sterling errs when calling baseball, of all sports. Think about the football announcer's plight. Not just football, but SEC football—it's fast. So we sympathize with LSU's Jim Hawthor...

Now It's Penn State Interim Coach Tom Bradley's Turn To Get Tossed Into The Meat Grinder
Tom Bradley's name is never mentioned in the 23-page Penn State grand jury summary. But that's undoubtedly true for a lot of witnesses whose appearance was not worth noting, since the summary is merely a report of the findings and the actual transcripts remain under seal. But the Patriot-News of Ha...

We missed it over the weekend, but our man Pierce found this little turd of cultural intellection dropped by the Upmarket Jeff Foxworthy.

Meet The Minor Leaguer And Scam Artist Who Sold A Pittsburgh Pirate To Australia
Surely it was a surprising development when Pirates outfielder Xavier Paul agreed to sign with the Brisbane Bandits of the Australian Baseball League this season. But his agent dotted the I's and crossed the T's, and Brisbane rolled out the red carpet for Paul to make his debut last week....

Nyjer Morgan Was On The Red Carpet For The L.A. <i>Twilight</i> Premiere Last Night
Nyjer Morgan—or his alter-ego Tony Plush, depending on your take—is a tremendous weirdo. He flies kites when he gets prompted by his Twitter followers. He gives interviews in character. He might actually be a little bit insane. And to add to the tally: he appears to be a legitimate fan of the Twilig...
