The Baltimore Orioles are dragging a streak of 14 consecutive losing seasons into 2012.

Kendrick Perkins Says LeBron Is "Always Looking For Attention" Because "He Wants The World To Like Him"
You will recall that Blake Griffin dunked on Kendrick Perkins not so long ago. One rarely dunks on a player of Perkins's height and reputed toughness, so it was a big thing. Kevin Durant said Griffin's dunk was not a dunk—making him the clubhouse leader in petulance—but here comes Perk himself!...
Tim Thomas Announces On Facebook That He "Stands With The Catholics In The Fight For Religious Freedom"
OK, so last time Bruins goalie Tim Thomas spoke up on Facebook he received plenty of scorn.

Report: Steelers Hire Todd Haley As New Offensive Coordinator

The Mariners Probably Just Pulled Off The Best Signing Of The Offseason
Stand down, Edwin-Jackson-to-the-Nats. Relax, Broxton-to-the-Royals and Madson-to-the-Reds. We have a new steal in an offseason filled with ridiculous splurges (C.J.-Wilson-to-the-Angels, Pujols-to-the-Angels, Reyes-to-the-Marlins, Heath-Bell-to-the-Marlins) and not too many bargains.
