Matthew Tkachuk Snags Brent Burns's Stick, Takes It To Bench, Gets Penalty
Calgary Flames rookie Matthew Tkachuk caught the stick of San Jose’s Brent Burns in last night’s game, but didn’t drop it on the ice. The 6-foot-2 Tkachuk nonchalantly skated to his bench with both twigs as the 6-foot-5 Burns followed. Doesn’t he know it’s not wise to upset a Wookiee?...

Text Messages Show Ex-Auburn Football Player Saying "I'm Sorry" To Woman Who Said He Raped Her
Two weeks ago, Auburn tight end Landon Rice left the football team due to what coach Gus Malzahn said were “personal reasons.” Those reasons, it turned out, were actually a rape investigation by police and a request for a restraining order filed by the woman who said Rice raped her. Rice’s lawyers r...
Dodgers Roast Madison Bumgarner En Masse After Shoving Match
Yasiel Puig and Madison Bumgarner got into it last night, prompting a team-wide scuffle and the eventual, inevitable Giants collapse after Bumgarner left the game with one hit through seven innings. Thankfully this happened on the first night of a three-game series, so tonight and tomorrow should be...
A.J. Burnett Told Andrew McCutchen To Hit Two Homers, So He Did
The Pirates whacked a mess of dingers in their 15-2 win in Philadelphia, but none quite so on-demand as Andrew McCutchen’s. Former Pirate (and Phillie) A.J. Burnett visited the Bucs’ clubhouse before the game, and, like a dying child, he had a request for his favorite slugger....

Andre Iguodala Delivers Withering Assessment Of Matthew Dellavedova
After getting thumped in the dick by Matthew Dellavedova last night, you knew Andre Iguodala would have something to say. Rather than going fire and brimstone, he delivered a devastating series of backhanded compliments, essentially calling Dellavedova a YMCA scrub. “To make a life, and to feed thei...
Twitter User Jim Harbaugh Roasts "Amazing" Nick Saban
There’s been a fairly mundane controversy swirling about the college football offseason regarding the legality of satellite football camps (little coaching clinics put on by schools used as a recruiting tactic) and whether or not head coaches should attend.

Here's An Old Video Of Peter Crouch Getting Funky At An EDM Concert
Peter Crouch is most known for 1) being a lumbering giant of a striker who somehow parlayed his head’s altitude and the middling skills that came with the rest of his body into a surprisingly good career with the English national team, and 2) for doing the Robot a few times after scoring. Thanks to ...
How Joe Pavelski Became A Tip Machine
It was, is, and will be for at least the next 36 hours the most important goal in Sharks history.

Don't Leave Brent Burns Open
Back east we’ve got two fast, hard-hitting, well-rounded teams, that frankly play fairly similar games. Out west is a more intriguing clash of styles: The Blues are more defensive minded, more deliberate, more physical, while the Sharks thrive on offense, speed, puck movement, and the most exciting ...
How The Sharks' Power Play Will Bite You From Any Angle
If you had the entire NHL to draft from, you might not be able to construct a more logical top power-play unit than the one the Sharks can ice every night.
