Fresh from your condiment-colored nightmares, here's a corporate mascot firing up a minor league hockey team, and also you. Oh, and clown trigger warning....
Why Is This Ump Calling Pitches From Behind The Mound?
Spring training, breezy and noncompetitive, tends to present certain spectacles that would have no business in regular season baseball. Hooters ball girls. Life-sized Al Roker Yankees Weebles. The Royals in first place. But in yesterday's Angels-Brewers game, something happened that we've never eve...

A Big-Hearted Mess. <em>Admission</em>, Reviewed.
Admission is such a mess, its good ideas knotted up with its unfocused and bad ones, that even if you end up liking the damn thing, you may find yourself apologizing for its faults. Tina Fey's first movie to be released since 30 Rock ended reminds us that she can do more than Liz Lemon, and it's gre...
Upon Further Review, The Overscrupulous NBA Replay Policy Wastes Everyone's Damn Time
March Madness arrived early in last night's Boston-Miami game, but that had less to do with LeBron James's improbably perfect game-winning jumper over Jeff Green, and far more to do with the mindless, inane three-and-three-quarter-minute review on the following play....
The Leftover Big East Signs A TV Deal For Almost $1 Billion Less Than The One It Turned Down Two Years Ago
Realignment is a massive game of musical chairs, and the tone-deaf Big East didn't hear the music stop. The conference, under John Marinatto, was convinced only a few megapowers would be left standing. They were right. Their mistake was thinking they were one of them. That's why they lost every prog...
MLB Is Trying To Dick Some Of Its Employees Out Of Their Pensions
Sure, Bud Selig and Major League Baseball may be the plucky underdogs when the league gets into a scheduling dispute with the all-mighty NFL, but that doesn't mean the MLB isn't also a vampiric organization with its own free-market-or-bust tendencies. Case in point: MLB owners are expected to vote ...

For Once, Baseball Has The NFL By The Short Hairs
It's the rare occasion that MLB has any leverage over the NFL, the most powerful non-Illuminati organization in America. So with the Ravens and Roger Goodell begging, pleading, and cajoling the Orioles to move a September game so the Ravens can open up at home, it's hard to blame Peter Angelos and B...
Time To Kill Boxing's Post-Fight Interview
On Saturday night, Tim Bradley, one of the world's best welterweights, fought Ruslan Provodnikov on HBO. Bradley, who has become a champion boxer mostly by possessing a will that has never broken, took heavy punishment, but won the fight by decision, despite being knocked down in the final 10 secon...
LeBron James Is A Better Defender Than The Computerized Version Of An Ideal NBA Defender
There is plenty of great information to be gleaned from Zach Lowe's exclusive look at the Toronto Raptors' camera tracking system, known as SportVU, but buried within the piece is yet another anecdote that demonstrates the fact that LeBron James is not of this planet....
ECHL Goalie Arrested After Allegedly Groping Waitress, Screaming Racial Slurs In A Bar
The night after tending goal in a 3-1 loss to Gwinnett (he was pulled after 25 minutes), Orlando Solar Bears netminder Zoltan Hetenyi hit the town to drown his sorrows. Sometime around 3 a.m. Sunday morning, Hetenyi caused a ruckus at the Arena Tavern in Duluth, Ga., leading us to create this totall...
