The Chargers Sent A Concussed Player Back Into The Game, And Then He Had A Seizure
Wonder why the Chargers' left guard Kris Dielman is listed as "out" for tonight's game? It's not necessarily because the Chargers need a refresher in concussion protocol and played him for nearly a full quarter after obviously getting trauma-ed. Though that probably didn't help....
Here's Another Cool Scorecard From Game 6
Perhaps World Series Game 6 has faded from your mind, as the series ended Friday night with not a bang but a whimper. But you should recall, in any case, that Game Six was pretty fucking cool.

Patrick Kane Pulled Off A Perfect Spin-O-Rama Assist Last Night
The Hawks beat the Ducks 3-2 in a shutout in Chicago last night, and Patrick Kane, our favorite Buffalo boozehound, provided the prettiest play of the game.

Brian Scalabrine Is His Team's Second-Leading Scorer In Italy
Brian Scalabrine is one of those NBA players that we all delight in calling a "role player," even if his role was never particularly valuable.

Theo Epstein's Full-Page Ad Thanks Everyone In Boston, Even Larry Lucchino
There's an unwritten rule that personnel moves aren't made during the World Series, so as to keep the focus on actual baseball. That rule was waived in Theo Epstein's case, because no one wants the Red Sox or Cubs to be in the news longer than absolutely necessary. So Theo's gone to Chicago (even if...
