Shirtless Ryan Kesler Creeps, Eats Pizza Behind Teammate's Locker Room Interview
At first glance this is a routine, fairly boring post-game interview with Canucks forward Raffi Torres.

Erik Spoelstra Has One Job, And He's Not Doing It
Believe it or not, there was a logic behind pairing no-name, unassuming Erik Spoelstra with the great collection of free agent talent basketball's ever seen. But by launching a day's headlines worth of "crying" stories, then keeping it in the news by backtracking, he's blown that logic to hell....

Front Row At The Spurs Game Is Awesome Until Ron Artest Spills Coffee In Your Face

The Broken Phenom, The Overzealous Enforcer, And Some New Ammo For The Anti-Fighting Crowd
Try to justify the institution of the enforcer in hockey to an outsider, and you'll likely pull out the usual arguments. It's about protection, about fear, about retribution. So yes, on a basic level, it's about pain. But it's never, never about injury. So with two players still out in the wake of a...
