A Young Bruins Fan Found Something Questionable In His Food
As part of the Bruins' "sorry about the lockout" apology tour (and Jeremy Jacobs being personally responsible for making it so long and acrimonious), fans are getting free food. Lots of free food! For each of Boston's five home games in January, each fan gets three vouchers for food or non-alcohol...

The NFC Is Running Low On Pro Bowl Quarterbacks
Matt Ryan hurt his shoulder when he was pancaked to the turf by Ahmad Brooks with 1:55 remaining. It looked ugly, and Ryan got up slowly. It was his left, non-throwing shoulder, but his next two passes were incomplete. When Atlanta recovered the ball with time left for one play, Ryan's "hail mary" o...
Football Recruit Who Said His Notre Dame Visit "Went Great" Never Actually Visited Campus
Georgia high school running back Stanley Williams committed to UGA two summers ago, but he may be having second thoughts.

Anderson Varejao Is Out For The Season With A Blood Clot In His Lung
I'd express sympathy for Cleveland fans, but they're probably pretty used to this sort of thing by now. Anderson Varejao, who with averages of 14 and 14 was putting up the best year of his career, is done for the season. The Cavs announced today that Varejao developed a blood clot in his lung, becau...
Michael Phelps Wouldn't Have Competed In The 2012 Olympics If Not For Ray Lewis
OK, before we go any further, we have to address Michael Phelps's new look. Apparently, Phelps has been hanging out in a lot of coffee shops and going to a lot of Japandroids concerts since the summer Olympics. Or perhaps he's just a really big fan of that crazy guy who used to edit Gawker....
The Union Wants Bud Selig To Force The Marlins To Spend More Money
Here's the projected payroll for the 2013 Miami Marlins. After a fire sale that began with trading star shortstop Hanley Ramirez and ended with trading star shortstop Jose Reyes (and everyone else), this isn't a rebuilding year. It's austerity straight from Christine Lagarde's desk....
Inauguration Day In Post-Racial America: George Stephanopoulos Thinks Bill Russell Looks Like Morgan Freeman
Never mind that Morgan Freeman looks nothing like the 6-foot-10 NBA Hall of Famer: The Celtics cap with Russell's number on it apparently wasn't enough of a clue for Stephanopoulos, either. With a nudge from David Remnick, Stephanopoulos—a Massachusetts native—quickly corrected himself. But not bef...
Some Poor Bastard Bought 10,000 Lance Armstrong DVDs, And They're Now Worthless
We're a few years away from Lance Armstrong being sued to destitution, and signing bike locks with "I'm sorry I injected EPO," à la Pete Rose. But there was a time when Armstrong was a conquering hero, and everything he touched turned to gold. Hell, even last summer, before he copped to rampant PED ...
It Appears Bill Cowher Is A Skoal Man
The only bigger waste of time than watching insipid and moronic NFL pre-game shows is watching their post-game counterparts, in which washed-up former stars mumble vacuous platitudes and chickenscratch X's and O's. We noticed something curious last night, though, when Shannon Sharpe suffered a brie...
Watch Expert Troll Russell Westbrook Goaltend A Mascot's Backward, Half-Court Shot
At some point during every Nuggets home game, team mascot Rocky attempts to make a backward, half-court shot. The crowd gets into it, the scoreboard operator puts Rocky's half-court shooting percentage on the jumbotron for all to see, and Rocky hams it up on the rare occasion that he sinks one. It...
Jets Owner Woody Johnson Now Says Tim Tebow Was "Forced" On Him
It's been a race in the Jets front office to deflect blame for Tim Tebow's signing, season-long benching, and the entire circus. First onto Tebow himself, with anonymous Jets sources saying Tebow refused to be used in Wildcat packages. Then coach Rex Ryan made it known it was strictly a football mov...

"Madison Square Garden" is a big deal for the Madison (S.D.) Bulldogs—an annual wrestling triangular, featuring "one of the most unique atmosphere's in the state for a dual.

According to USA Today, the latest piecemeal bit to be released in this bizarre saga is the revelation that Ottilia Te'o, Manti's mother, tried to convert Lennay to Mormonism via text message.

Shannon Sharpe Actually Makes Sense Talking About Bill Belichick's Refusal To Do Post-Game Interview
Following his team's loss at home to the Baltimore Ravens in the AFC Championship, Bill Belichick declined an on-field post-game interview with CBS's Steve Tasker.
