AHL Changes Rules To Stop Goalies From Flipping Their Own Nets

My Third-Grader, The Politician
Election Day, always a big event in D.C., was a whole lot bigger than normal here this year, if only in the McKenna household. Neither control of the U.S. Senate nor the fate of Obamacare factored into its bigness. Nah. This was all about Eddie running for office....
Does Banana Bread Belong In Your Beer?
Bananas are pretty good. I'm not sure if Deadspin has ever issued a ranking of the fruits (editor's note: duh), but they probably have, and it was probably wrong, because everyone always underestimates kiwis and pretends to be too cool for apples. But if I were ever consulted on such a project, I'd ...
"He Reeked Of Jim Beam And Slim Jims": Your Best Mike Ditka Stories
Yesterday we posted Andy Richter's telling of Mike Ditka doing "one of the most senselessly arrogant & aggressive things" he'd ever witnessed. It seems that nearly everybody that has ever stepped foot in Chicago has a Mike Ditka story, usually involving cigars, booze, or both. Below are some of ...
Yuengling Black And Tan Doesn't Suck
Thanksgiving is the best holiday, and second place isn't close. I deeply regret that I spent several obnoxious years pretending that Thanksgiving is overrated. That's preposterous, for it is impossible to be too enthusiastic about a midweek vacation day devoted entirely to sloth and excess....

Relegation-Bound Team Willing To Consider Thinking About Moyes
When we last touched base with disgraced former manager David Moyes, he impressed us with both his shocking lack of foresight and his optimism at getting a good new gig sometime soon.

Christopher Maximilian Sandau (not pictured), a minor hockey coach in North Delta, B.C., was fired this weekend after his league discovered his Facebook page, which was chock full of Nazi propaganda.

Adam LaRoche Kills A Giant Elk; Dan Haren Is Bummed About It
Free-agent first baseman Adam LaRoche is an avid hunter, and earlier today he posted a photo of a giant-ass elk that he shot on his Twitter account. That's a really fucking big elk, and the fact that it's dead has LaRoche's former Nationals teammate, Dan Haren, feelin' a little blue....
That Whole ESPN Report On RGIII Was Kind Of A Mess
On Sunday, ESPN had a big Trouble-in-Landover report that was actually two stories rolled into one. The juicier one, a claim that a locker-room outburst was proof that Robert Griffin III had "alienated" his teammates, was quickly disputed by a whole bunch of reporters who were in the room. Now the s...
Most Fruit Beers Suck; This One Doesn't
For such a handsome and hopeful young man, it took me a remarkably short period of time to get a bit jaded about the Craft Beer Movement™.

After T-Wolves shooting guard Kevin Martin earned himself a $15,000 fine on Monday for doing the Big Balls Dance, a reporter asked Minnesota head coach Flip Saunders what he thought about Martin's display of testicle-based showmanship.

Wind Blows Florida Rapper Right Into The Sea During Photo Shoot
A Florida rapper who goes by the name of Presto Flo decided that the edge of a seawall would be a good place to have a photo shoot, because everyone looks awesome and cool while standing in front of the ocean.

Sierra Nevada Is Still The Freshest
Good afternoon, gang! How's tricks? DID YOU VOTE?! I won't buy you a beer unless you voted. Nah, just kidding, I won't buy you a beer regardless, and I also don't like to jump down non-voting throats.
