What Bad Thing Did You Do As A Kid?
One day, when I was in fourth or fifth grade, I was waiting for the school bus.

Eventually a school bus rounde...

This is a remarkable, remarkably unorthodox save from Marc-Andre Fleury in the Penguins’ 5-2 win in New Jersey last night. Adam Henrique’s shot was deflected by Ian Cole and bounced up and over Fleury, who made a diving, flailing rescue with the blade of his stick to alley-oop it out of danger....

Of Course Andrew Bogut Has Bad Pizzagate Takes
A certain subset of the dumbest people alive are riled up over an unbelievably specious conspiracy theory that posits Hillary Clinton and her associates are secretly running a pedophilia and child trafficking ring out of the basement of Comet Ping Pong, a pizza joint in Washington D.C. It’s known as...
Cam Newton Was Benched For Not Wearing A Tie
