Lou Piniella Made A Super-Awkward Reference To Rape During Today's Yankees Broadcast
So the Toronto Blue Jays took a lot of talent from the Miami Marlins during the last MLB offseason. One could probably find lots of words to describe the trade effectively. "Raided." "Pillaged." "Ravaged." "Pilfered." "Devastated." "Looted." "Purloined." One would probably not want to say "raped." ...

While The Jets Try To Trade Him, Darrelle Revis Is Embracing His Inner Hipster In Paris
Darrelle Revis wants a lot of money from the Jets to extend his contract, which expires at the end of 2013. If the Jets opt not to give him that money, and to trade him, he wants the money from whichever team acquires him from the Jets. And if the Jets don't give him that money, and let him play out...
The "Icing The Kicker" Menace Has Spread To MLS
On Sunday, the Red Bulls found a new way to lose a game. (I don't know if MLS keeps that record, but New York surely owns it.)

Who Shot? J.R.: Why We Love The Knicks' Gunner
Here are all the players in NBA history who shot 29 or more times in a game but attempted two or fewer free throws. It's quite the list, really. Among other things, it's also a pretty good list of the best fadeaway artists in NBA history. You can almost see these games in your head. Catch-and-shoot...
The Citi Field Amway Store Has A Juice Bar That Doesn't Sell Juice
Lost in all of the hullabaloo about the New York Mets' tone deaf decision to lease a Citi Field storefront to Amway was any kind of explanation regarding what exactly is inside of an Amway store.

So it turns out that Brian Cashman's skydiving mishap from earlier today probably didn't result in him suffering a compound fracture. That's good, because compound fractures are gross. Cashman did end up with a broken fibula and a dislocated ankle, though, and he just got out of surgery for the lat...
