Islanders Furious After Big Hit Leads To Lightning OT Win
As sexy as playoff overtime is, it tends to overshadow all the good stuff that came before. And the Lightning’s 5-4 win over the Islanders was very good, very fun hockey, even before Brian Boyle finished things 2:48 into OT to give Tampa Bay the 2-1 series lead. The teams traded body blows throughou...
Islanders Take 2-1 Series Lead With Overtime Goal

Smash Mouth Singer Flips Shit; Band Just Wants To Play "All Star"
Remember how when the Titanic sunk, the band kept playing on the deck so the passengers wouldn’t completely lose it as the ship went down? This video is sort of like that. In it, you see Smash Mouth frontman Steve Harwell flip his shit as the crowd hassles him and pelts him with crumbs of bread. But...
Nobody Hits Harder Than Giancarlo Stanton
It’s always fun when an advanced baseball statistic definitively backs up what you see on the field. For example, if you were to watch a few clips of hulking outfielder Giancarlo Stanton mashing taters out of the ballparks of America, you might come away from the experience thinking that nobody else...
How To Make Mashed Cauliflower, Because It Goddamn Tastes Great
This article originally appeared on October 12, 2013. I'm republishing it today because I went on an insane cauliflower kick this week, and also for the lesser reason that I couldn't find good ingredients for what I wanted to cook. If you're looking for something especially St. Patrick's Day-ish, ...

How To Eat Thanksgiving Dinner: A Strategy Guide
How does one eat a Thanksgiving meal? On its face this might seem like a ridiculous question, and also everywhere else too. I mean, who doesn’t know how to eat? (Excepting the British, of course.)

How To Make Potatoes Au Gratin, A Step Beyond Good Ol' Mashed Taters
Hey, look, mashed potatoes are wonderful. They're smooth and hearty and comforting; they land in your stomach with a satisfying, almost audible whump; they are the food equivalent of dropping your entire body onto a soft, overstuffed sofa. Kids love them, grownups love them, everybody loves them. ...
We Improved A Billy Joel Song By Replacing Him With Jay-Z
We all know that Billy Joel sucks (especially lately), but as SB Nation's Spencer Hall recently noted, there's a portion of nearly every one of his songs that's really great. (You can usually blame Joel's rock-solid rhythm section of Liberty DeVitto and Doug Stegmeyer for that.) ...
Angry Brazil Fan Destroys TV In Street
This is a (possibly drunk?) Brazil fan flinging a high definition television around in the street after finding himself on the wrong end of a 7-1 thrashing. YouTube (with the help of Google translation) fills in some details:...
Tomas Hertl Continues To Be Adorable
The Sharks' 20-year-old Czech center Tomas Hertl had a pair of points in his first career playoff game, but I don't really care about that right now. I care that earlier this month, Hertl was introduced to the wonders of Dave & Buster's. ...
Zenit Player's Face Was A River Of Blood After Getting Kneed In Head
Unlike Antonio Valencia yesterday, Zenit's Tomas Hubocan was looking more Jake LaMotta than Rocky after Robert Lewandowski opened a vein with an unfortunately well-timed knee to the side of the head. Soccer is a blood sport....

The Foodspin Thanksgiving Reader
Hey whoa Thanksgiving is here!

Below you'll find all the Thanksgiving-relevant Foodspin action you'll ne...
How To Make Mashed Potatoes (Because That's All They'll Let You Make)
Insofar as your entire life, to this point, can be understood as a series of undertakings begun in earnest, gradually disintegrated by pressure and time, and then finally destroyed with sudden, spasmodic violence, you—exactly you, you there, reading this now—are the perfect person to make and bring ...

M*A*S*H's Great Football Scene
