Now I Can Die Happy Knowing Someone Pulled Off A Real-Life Rainbow Flick Goal

The Road To <em>The Three-Year Swim Club</em>'s Olympic Glory Starts In A Ditch<em> </em>
Duke Kahanamoku is perhaps best known as the father of surfing, but he’s also one of the best swimmers of all time.

P.K. Subban Doesn't Really Care How French Speakers Pronounce His Name
There’s now a little bit of fuss—just un petit peu—over how broadcasters should pronounce Canadiens star P.K. Subban’s first initials. Should a French-language station, airing to mostly Francophone viewers, pronounce the name of an Anglophone player the way they would, or the way he would?...
