We back one or another Penguin, when's it not even clear which is the best on his own team. We even, for a feverish couple of weeks, decide on Claude Giroux; whoops. Bu...

How Did Logan Mankins Play An Entire Season With A Torn ACL?
Last week, we learned via Adam Schefter that Patriots offensive guard Logan Mankins played the entire 2011 season on a torn ACL.

Giancarlo Stanton Nearly Killed His Cutoff Man
With the Marlins well on their way to being blown out (Ozzie Guillen called it "the worst game we've played all year"), at least Giancarlo Stanton and Logan Morrison found something to laugh about.

Logan Morrison Was Demoted Because Wes Helms Is A Super-Secret Double-Agent Mole: A Theory
Marlins outfielder/tweeter Logan Morrison was demoted to AAA New Orleans on Saturday night. It was a weird demotion, because Morrison ranks second in OPS on the team (ahead of first baseman Gaby Sanchez, and any outfielders who might replace him) and because the Marlins are 56-64, burnt toast....

On Saturday, Trader Jack benched Twitter-happy outfielder Logan Morrison, who's hit .189 in June. McKeon said he would try "something different. Give 'Twitter' a rest." McKeon once thought "Twitter" was Morrison's dog. Now it's just a chiding nickname....

Florida Marlins Rookie Hazing Takes Uncomfortable, Fake Pube-y Turn

Is Notre Dame Basketball Coach Mike Brey Illicitly Humping This TV News Lady?
Even if he is, Notre Dame media relations person Bernadette Cafarelli told us over the phone that "Mike Brey is the men's basketball coach at Notre Dame." (Her inflection suggested a "PERIOD!" so I'll add that.) Onto the smutty rumor-grinder....
