Running 50 Miles Across Kansas Was Actually Kind Of Awesome
I ran in the Bison 50 Relay race from Topeka to Lawrence, Kansas last weekend. It was 50 miles and surprisingly not the worst thing I've ever done. Next week I'll run a half-marathon in Florida and then, well, I don't know what I'll do. Probably get re-fat on alcohol and seasonal treats for the nex...

GOALIE FIGHT!
The Capitals took a 7-0 dump on the Flyers, but some measure of revenge (Momentum? Enforcement? What's this bullshit supposed to be about again?) was gained with a full line brawl in the third period. The highlight was Ray Emery skating the length of the ice to fight Braden Holtby, who wanted none o...
That Time Mike Schmidt, Age 38, Scored From First On A Wild Pitch

On A Miserable Shooting Night, Derrick Rose Hits The One That Counts
