For most players who went to Europe during the lockout, it was just business: an opportunity to make a paycheck and stay in shape until the NHL returned.

The Consumer Electronics Show, held in Vegas every year during the second-ish week in January, is an odd duck.

Crazy Person Tackles Runner Mid-Race; Runner Wins Anyway

In Defense Of Mike Shanahan
Three months ago, the head coach of a professional football team made a terrible, terrible decision.
