Don't Look Now, But The NHL's Best Hockey Is Out West
You could be forgiven for feeling a twinge of nostalgia for the Western Conference yesterday, after news emerged that the NHL is nearing an agreement on radical realignment.

These Fans At The Saddledome Last Night Are True Jagr Meisters
The world's favorite mulleted hockey enfant terrible isn't so much an enfant these days as elderly, but that doesn't stop fans of Stars winger Jaromir Jagr from showing up in arenas across the NHL to show their appreciation for one of the sport's greats.

Mr. Belding Endorses Diamond Dallas Page For Some Twitter Award
Not so long ago I did a kind of hatchet piece on Diamond Dallas Page and his new fangled yoga, called DDP Yoga. Since then, DDP Yoga has proven me wrong. A lot of people really love it! Including Dennis Haskins, who you likely only know as "Mr. Belding."...
Retired NFL Players Are Depressed And Don't Even Know It: Study
The most striking aspects of the new head-trauma study of former NFL players published in JAMA Neurology are not the formal findings per se. In many ways, those merely quantify and validate suspicions that even casual fans likely hold. The rub is that 40 percent of the retired players that researche...

Kari Lehtonen Made The Best Save Of This Young NHL Season
It shouldn't have come to this. Dallas's Kari Lehtonen should never have had to make this spinning, behind-the-back swipe that kept the Stars-Blue Jackets game scoreless. Even screened by Nick Foligno, Lehtonen will probably be the first to tell you he should have gloved the puck, or knocked it do...
Here Is An Image Of Terrell Owens And Jerome Bettis Bowling Together
Did you know Terrell Owens and Jerome Bettis own bowling teams? You probably didn't know that. We sure didn't, so when this popped up on ESPN's lazy Sunday PBA coverage it gave us a bit of a start. After all, T.O.'s last stint as a pro sports team owner didn't go so well. We're told this time aroun...
Rob Ryan Was Out Of Work For 22,987 Minutes
Firing confirmed by Tim MacMahon at 4:54 PM, January 8th (EST):...
The Dallas Stars Showed An Empty Chair On The Jumbotron, Identified It As "Manti Te'o's Girlfriend"
Like SNL, half of minor league baseball, and Mets GM Sandy Alderson, the Dallas Stars had some fun with the Manti Te'o story yesterday. During their home-opener (a 4-3 win over the Phoenix Coyotes) the stadium's jumbotron operators spotted an empty seat and, in a mash-up of old Clint Eastwood empty-...

Dirk Nowitzki Tries To Crash A Video Review, Gets Stonewalled By Awesome Security Guard
I was not previously aware of the fact that there are NBA security guards whose job it is to prevent players from getting too close to the referees during video reviews. But as the video above shows, such security guards do indeed exist, and one of them got into a hilarious tête-à-tête with Dirk N...
No. 1 Duke Suffers First Loss To Some Team Or Other As Nation Revels In Annual Guilty Pleasure
It's not the Yankees losing in the divisionals, nor a conference rival pantsing Alabama midseason. Nor is it quite the Lakers fizzling in May, or the Cowboys losing year after year after year after delicious year....
