Sidney Crosby Catches Teammate's Stick In Mid-Air

When Patric Hörnqvist had his stick slapped out of his hand, he probably thought he was going to have to do that awkward thing where you chase the puck with your hands spread out wide and try to throw your body in front of every shot. Instead, Sidney Crosby miraculously caught the damn thing and han...

When Miami-Dade residents voted on building the Heat an arena, they were promised a waterfront park. It became a parking lot, with the Heat pocketing the proceeds. Now the county wants to at least charge reasonable rent for the land. The Heat's lobbyist says there's "room for discussion."...

Rex Ryan Got A Giant Bills Logo Painted On His Truck

I will always find Rex Ryan's willingness to go full fanboy on whatever team he's coaching to be immensely charming.

I Don't Get Ed Sheeran 

Here's what I know about Ed Sheeran: He's British, he's ginger, he sings, and he recently did his own version of O.T. Genasis's "Coco." I listened to that, and I turned to stone. It did not need to exist, but now it does, and it has done no favors in helping me figure out Ed Sheeran. ...

I'm sorry we're here. Or rather, I'm sorry that the Love of Your Life is way, way far out over there. It's not easy being in a long-distance relationship. Trust me. While absence makes the heart grow fonder or whatever, that absence is also exhausting, depressing, and can drive you crazy. You may fi...
