Fighting In Hockey Will Die When A Player Does
Fighting's going to be banned from hockey; that's a given. It's just the way society and our understanding of sport are evolving. It might not happen for a long time, but I know how it'll go down: it'll be reactionary, in the immediate wake of a player's on-ice death. And it'll look a lot like what...

Here's The Most Famous Play From The Last Reds-Pirates Playoff Game
The Reds play the Pirates in the NL wild-card game tonight, and while it's been forever-and-a-half since the Pirates last made the postseason, the two teams actually have quite a history with one another.

L.C. Greenwood: The Smiling Badass Of The NFL's Baddest Front Four
The Steelers of the 1970s had the scowl of Mean Joe Greene and the gap where Jack Lambert's four front teeth should've been. But there was nothing quite like the menace presented by the smiling L.C.

The NFL Network may not be the monolith the league once envisioned, but Roger Goodell likes having it around for what it forces others to do, particularly ESPN.

This, the work of @BizzaroZaun, is one of the best Mike Francesa impersonations you will ever see.
