Shut Up, Joe Lacob

The NFL Now Has James Jones And Joey Porter Rules
As pointed out by Mike Pereira, the NFL makes a bunch of rule changes each year that aren’t technically rule changes—the rulebook wording can be adjusted under existing rules without having to send something to the Competition Committee.

The Sharks Are In The Finals, Finally
Joe Thornton and Patrick Marleau were the first two picks in the 1997 draft. They’ve played a couple thousand games in teal.

This Is All Joe Lacob's Fault

Holy Shit, That Joe Thornton Pass
The Sharks lead the postseason in plays that make their opponents’ fans exasperatedly say, “oh come the fuck on.” It’s a remarkably aesthetically pleasing brand of hockey they play, all speed and puck cycling and a preternatural awareness of their linemates’ positions only made possible by playing t...
Why Are Bad Laws Still Protecting Penn State And Temple?

How Will Bryce Harper Deal With The Barry Bonds Treatment?
Bryce Harper hasn’t logged an official at-bat in his last 11 plate appearances.

The Sharks Thought They Got Screwed On Joe Pavelski's No-Goal

Yeah, OK, I'm All About The Sharks
The NHL’s playoff bracket is a little bit broken when each conference’s best two teams are playing each other in the second round, but a nice side effect is that we’re getting close series—and through two games, they look close all around. That includes Sharks-Predators, even if San Jose is up 2-0. ...
