Clarke MacArthur Goes Between His Legs For A Beautiful Assist
The Ottawa winger threaded his own needle—and a pair of Wild players—to set up Kyle Turris's shorthanded goal. Though Minnesota won, and MacArthur didn't get onto the scoresheet beyond this assist, it was pretty enough to get him named the game's second star....

Each week, Football Outsiders recognizes the most outstanding college linemen, defenders and other darkhorses from the previous weekend who are habitually overlooked in the hype for that other award (whatever it's called). These are the Lowsmen....
Dwight Howard Got Owned By A Heckler Last Night
A fun thing happened during last night's Rockets-Mavericks game. Late in the fourth quarter, Dwight Howard got heckled by a very angry man who may or may not have been an extra in Wayne's World 2, and Howard responded by tossing the ball at the heckler....
It Keeps Getting Worse For Anthony Bennett
Anthony Bennett is just about the saddest thing in sports right now. Like, make-you- want-to-curl-up-in-a-ball-and-sob-yourself-to-sleep sad. After an 0-2 night in which he only got six minutes of floor time, the first overall pick is now 5-for-37 shooting in his young NBA career. And Cavaliers fans...
Dana White Says Some More Ridiculous Things About Georges St-Pierre

Worst Coaching Staff Ever Stole Playbooks, Vandalized Own School
Last week, an assistant coach at a Tennessee high school was arrested after it emerged that he had vandalized his own fieldhouse in an attempt to fire up his team before the big game. He's not the only Keystone Kop on staff. Three assistants were apparently involved with the vandalism, and one is ac...
Tough Love: Watching Football On TV While Sitting In The Snow
At first glance, it's just a photo of Big Blue fans watching the 1962 NFL title game while seated outside a Connecticut motel, beyond the range of the New York City-area TV blackout. (Green Bay beat the Giants that day at the old Yankee Stadium, 16-7.)...

This Wire Story Gives Not A Single Shit About North Koreans
The Associated Press just published a story about Dennis Rodman's latest endorsement venture and his untethered blather about what good buds he is with North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un.

A Three-Man Front Is A Late-Game Defensive Formation For Suckers
The weekend, as I watched the absurd denouement of the Northwestern-Michigan game, something struck me as familiar — beyond the now-routine bumblefuckery that inspires the Wildcats to turn fourth-quarter leads into triple-overtime losses. No, it wasn't simply that Michigan drove in the dregs of game...

Jerking Around. <em>Delivery Man</em>, Reviewed.
Vince Vaughn has an affable, doughy countenance that's so appealingly ordinary that sometimes it's impossible to believe he stars in movies.
