The Lockview Dragons Have Some Meat Between Their Buns
A Canadian high school hockey coach was fired on Wednesday when it was discovered that some of his players changed their bio information in the team program. Kevin Brown of Lockview High was dismissed when some parents complained about the program. So, did the players pad their stats, or taunt the o...
Yet Another Reason To Loathe Starbucks And Ridicule Dumb Defensemen

Emmeneck'er? I Hardly Know Her!
The College Basketball Closer is written by the gang at Storming the Floor....
LeBron Is Human After All
The NBA Closer is written by Matt McHale, who isn't going to cover the Blazers/Clippers game, because of the pain it caused my eyes to watch. (Although I will tell you that Portland won 82-80.) When he isn't recovering from the ugliness of professional basketball, he can be found making fun of it at...
Uncle Joey Is Babysitting Today
Imagine my surprise when I got in this morning and found this note: On vacation. You're doing the site for the next two days. Do not try to contact me. Beer in the fridge. — Will. A sudden chill ran through me, for I knew instantly what the implications were: There was in fact no beer in the fridge....
Welcome To Levitra Field, Home Of The Cubs
So, much grumbling today over the latest blasphemy in Chicago: Owner Sam Zell says he "wouldn't hesitate" to sell the naming rights to Wrigley Field. Of course our friend Mariotti is all in a sweaty panic over this, which kind of makes me think it might be a good idea. But then I'm not a Cubs fan. H...
About Last Night
What you missed while taking Will to the airport in a rickshaw ... • College women's basketball: Vivian Stringer joins the 800 Club. Don Imus apologizes out of habit. • NBA: LeBron's milestone doesn't impress the Celtics all that much. • NHL: Not tonight, I have a Paddock ... just wanted to say that...
Book Tour's Over: Time To Hit The Beach
It has been a long month, what, with all the shameless book shilling, and since we just can't work ourselves into a lather over yet another boring development in the Roger Clemens case, it probably means it's time for us to take a little vacation....
To Watch Tonight
What to watch as Dateline's Chris Hansen reads a court transcript ... • College basketball: Kansas at Iowa State (7 p.m., ET); Georgia Tech at Duke (9 p.m., ET) [ESPN]; West Virginia at DePaul (9 p.m., ET). Blue Devils or Blue Demons? Ah, can't decide! [ESPN2] • NHL: Minnesota at Tampa Bay (7:30 p.m...
Stephon Marbury Should Be A Professional Prognosticator
It's particularly amusing in the wake of the great Zach Randolph "possession." How young we were back in July 2007 ... how little we knew!...
Brewers Fans Are Focused, Dedicated
This photo is somewhat old, apparently, but it's the first I've seen of it. Brewers fans, so used to disappointment, will take their excitement where they can get it I suppose. Later, at home, Erin Andrews found two tiny burn marks on the seat of those slacks....
Jay Mariotti Is Moved (Again)
One of our all-time favorite Deadspin posts was pointing out the ridiculous platitudes shelled out by sports columns in the days after September 11. (We were not immune from this ourselves.) One of those columnists was Jay Mariotti, whose signature schtick doesn't lend itself well to tragedy. Fortun...
R.I.P. Myron Cope
Beloved Pittsburgh Steelers broadcaster Myron Cope died today at the age of 79. We asked Mondesi's House to put together a retrospective....
The Super Bowl Commercial They Wouldn't Let You See
Can't decide if this is great or merely interesting, but my dog liked it a lot. Here's a Bud Light commercial that was supposed to have been shown during the Super Bowl, but was banned by the FCC. Found this over at BostonSportz. It's new to me, anyway....
Jon Stewart Still Won't Use His Hands
Long before he was hosting the Oscars or beating up Conan O'Brien, Jon Stewart was a Whirling Dervish on the soccer field for William & Mary....
