Famous vagrant Bill Murray played golf in the John Deere Classic Pro-Am at TPC Deere Run in Silvis, Ill. Wednesday, and had fun with fans as he traversed the course. Murray, a well-known Chicago Cubs fan, took as many shots as he could at the St. Louis Cardinals along the way....

Blackhawks Trade Brandon Saad To Columbus
Definitely did not see this one coming. The Blackhawks have sent winger Brandon Saad—the one guy you assumed this cap-clearing summer would be all about finding the room to afford—to the Blue Jackets....
God Bless Patrick Kane, Beautiful Karaoke Moron
You should never make fun of people for singing karaoke poorly, because the whole point of karaoke is to get drunk and yell and cause ruckus. But I think it’s okay to poke fun at Chicago Blackhawks party boy Patrick Kane, who does something delightfully stupid at about the two-minute mark of this cl...
Bob Costas Is Complaining About The Internet Again

Bob Costas will apologize to Pedro Strop for launching into an inexplicable, hilarious, and just plain dirty burn on the Cubs reliever after Strop’s poor outing Friday night....
Holy Shit, Bob Costas

Shirtless Johnny Oduya Is As Shiny As The Stanley Cup

Kimmo Timonen Goes Out With His First Stanley Cup
Kimmo Timonen was along for the ride. The 40-year-old didn’t receive a lot of ice time due to the Blackhawks’ overwhelming reliance on four defensemen, though it’s not like Timonen was doing anything productive in his scant minutes. But it’s fun to finish on top, and as Chicago closed out Game 6 for...
The Blackhawks' Run Is More Impressive Than A Dynasty
The surest sign there are no true dynasties in the NHL’s salary-cap era is that the second a contender for the title emerges, it has to be broken up.

In Game 2 of the Stanley Cup Finals, Lightning goalie Ben Bishop went in and out of the game in the third period, possibly because he had the runs. In Game 3 of the Stanley Cup Finals, Bishop was obviously hobbled yet still good enough to stone the Blackhawks. Finally, in Game 4 of the Stanley Cup F...
