The Capitals Are Still On A Winning Streak!
• In Boudreau They Trust. Alexander Ovechkin tickled twine twice and Michael Nylander had a goal and two assists as the Capitals won their second straight under interim coach Bruce Boudreau. Caps 5, Hurricanes 2. The consecutive victories are DC's first since early October, the end of a three-game w...
The Capitals Are On A Winning Streak
It's the NHL Closer. I now snatch the mic from the kids at Orland Kurtenblog. "Hey, karaoke man, punch in System's "Chop Suey" will ya? The pipes feel strong today." This NHL Closer is written by a Canadian for Americans, Africans and Australians. That's it. So screw off, Luxembourgers....
Let me explain something to you. Um, I am not "Mr. Johnson". You're Mr. Johnson. I'm the Skeets. So that's what you call me. You know, that or, uh, His Skeetsness, or uh, Skeeter, or El Skeetsino at "NCAA Deadspin" if you're not into the whole AOL Instant Messaging thing. Let's college football! [Hu...
Mr. Testicle Is The Bo Jackson Of Mascots
Well, 100 Percent Injury Rate has dug up more videos of Mr. Testicle in action. Can we create him as a Madden character? The problem is that he's so good at sports now that he's pressured to improve and keep up with the rest of his competitors. That's all fine and good, of course, except that leads ...

Thanks Again, Priest Holmes
It's a sad day, folks: It looks like Priest Holmes is going to retire. Obviously, the brief snapshots of Priest Holmes we've seen this season haven't even remotely resembled the Priest Holmes fantasy wunderkind we once knew, but that doesn't mean we didn't enjoy them immensely. It was just nice to s...
The Eagles Are HUGE Underdogs Sunday
We were pretty amazed to read this this morning: Apparently Sunday night's Patriots-Eagles game has the biggest spread in NFL history. (Well, not exactly: They're not counting expansion teams, for some reason; the Buccaneers were 24-point underdogs to the Steelers in their first season, and lost 42-...
In A Year, He'll Invade And Occupy Columbus, Georgia
Nick Saban was supposed to be the savior for Alabama football — and hey, the Dolphins sure have taken off since he left — but the team has collapsed down the stretch, losing their last three games, including last week's home loss to Louisiana-Monroe. Fortunately, Saban has been able to keep the loss...
Michigan Bids Adieu To Lloyd Carr
It's official: Several Michigan players went to visit Lloyd Carr in his cage on Sunday and it turns out that the only reason he had been standing up at all is that he had been nailed there. Yes, Carr is an ex-parrot. (And Brian Cook had it first, by the way, despite what "ESPN has learned.") Say wha...

You Can Make Antoine Walker an All Star Again!
Some enterprising internetters over on the RealGM message boards have hatched a plan to corner the NBA All Star voting market involving cookies (not the kind you throw or use to torture). I'm a moron so I don't really understand all of their Internet Explorer speak but I have deduced that they are q...

Phil Jackson Just Can't Quit You
Sure, Phil Jackson's post-game comments on Tuesday were controversial. But the cinematography was spectacular, and we say he deserves an Oscar. Wait, what? After losing to the Spurs on Tuesday, Jackson said "We call this a 'Brokeback Mountain' game because there's so much penetration and kickouts." ...
