The Ducks Logos That Could Have Been
In 2006, the no-longer Disney-owned Mighty Ducks of Anaheim underwent a complete rebranding, changing their name, their purple-primary uniforms, and most crucially, dropping the duckbilled Jacques-Plante-Mk. 2 mask logo. In exchange, they unveiled the “D-foot,” which has now been the team’s identity...
It's Time To Bring Back The Six-Pack
One foolish afternoon a long, long time ago, Drunkspin risked a lifetime banishment from the good graces of the Craft Beer Movement by suggesting that even the very finest beers—the ones with corks and waiting lists and wicked kickass dragons and/or puns on the labels—contain alcohol, which has been...
If You Left Your Credit Card On The Field At Petco, The Cubs Found It
Tsuyoshi Wada came off the disabled list to go 4⅔ quality innings in his first start of the season in the Cubs’ 3-2 win in San Diego, but he racked up a pretty clutch save, too: he found someone’s credit card on the field as he walked off the mound after the third....

Kyle Korver Just Wants To Live, Man
One of the fun things about LeBron James is that he is so impossibly big, fast, and strong that he can turn a crunch-time possession in a playoff game, one which his opponents desperately needed to end with a stop, into a basic fight-or-flight situation....
The Lightning Won't Be Stopped
The Lightning appear to own Henrik Lundqvist. The Rangers goalie has now given up six goals in back-to-back games, and of six games this season in which he’s allowed five or more goals, the last four have come against Tampa Bay. This is not to suggest that the usually dependable Lundqvist has some p...
Tonight Was The Good Kind Of J.R. Smith Game
Tonight was a J.R. Smith Game. That is a terrifying sentence to read for anybody who has ever been a fan of a team that J.R. Smith played for. A J.R. Smith Game is one in which he does something inexplicably stupid, like elbowing somebody in the head. A J.R. Smith Game is one in which he plays terri...

Bryce Harper Ejected, But Nobody Knows Why
Bryce Harper was tossed from tonight’s game against the Yankees for ... well it isn’t exactly sure what he was tossed for.

Jets Look At QB Depth Chart, Sigh Deeply, Name Geno Smith Starter
The Jets have made a lot of impressive decisions this offseason, and that’s not the setup for a joke. Darrelle Revis came back, the already-fearsome defensive line improved with draft pick Leonard Williams, and they snagged Brandon Marshall for a fifth-round pick. There’s a lot of talent everywhere—...
Is Trophy Beer Getting Too Damn Expensive?
Let me begin by declaring my love for the Maine Beer Company. I’ve tried 11 of the 13 beers listed on their website, and while there are a few I might not bother with again, none are outright disappointing, and several are excellent. I’ve never had their shiniest trophy brew, a double India pale ale...
