Where Do NHL Players Come From?
Sportchart has put together a neat series of maps on the birthplaces of active NHL, NBA, and MLB players. For most graphics like these the players are divvied up by country of origin, but—as you can see from the NHL dots above—this misses a lot of the nuance in the data. Specifically, U.S. players a...
Deadspin's Johnny Manziel Obsession, Visualized
Both the ESPN and NFL Network draft broadcasts Deadspin and Regressing blogrolls were Johnny Football-obsessed tonight last night, but the Worldwide Leader and everyone around here was especially interested in the Heisman-winning Texan.

A Fishing Trip Fixed Roy Hibbert
Roy Hibbert, who recently transformed from an all-pro center into the NBA's biggest and suckiest punching bag, somehow managed to stop sucking last night. In 33 minutes against the Wizards, Hibbert scored 28 points and grabbed 10 rebounds and once again started looking like a functional basketball p...
Now <em>That</em> Was A Russell Westbrook Game
If any player in the NBA can accurately be described as basketball cocaine, it's Russell Westbrook.

But when things go right, like they...
Experience An NBA Playoff Pregame From The Eyes Of A Drunk Person
OK, this video's actually just useless additional footage from TNT's online feed, but if we use our imagination, we're watching the Clippers-Thunder introductions from a very drunk fan's point of view. Damn, how'd you put down that much before the game even started? Please don't puke....

I Took TED's Stupid Grit Quiz!
If you're a sports fan like I am, you know that championships aren't won with talent or sound strategy or even proper personnel evaluation. They are won with HUSTLE and HEART and ECKSTEINIAN fortitude that cannot be measured, because measuring things is for nerds and pussies. ...
The Man Who Scored The NHL's Greatest Shootout Goal Hangs Up His Skates
Defenseman Marek Malik announced his retirement from hockey today, after five years in Europe following a 15-year NHL career that stretched all the way back to the Hartford Whalers.

Japanese Soccer Team Incorporates Half The Team In This Fake Free Kick
I’m not sure how much of an actual advantage Kyoto Sanga got from this five-man fakeout goal, but any innovation on the standard, one player half-heartedly jogging past the ball before the guy you always knew was going to shoot takes a swing is welcome.

Whites Are Way More Lenient On Sterling, Unless They Follow The NBA
