Clumsy Dodgers Fan Drops Foul Ball, Falls Onto Field, Knocks Over Beer
This poor joker just couldn't do anything right in his pursuit of a ball that was pretty much hit right at him. And to top it off, he was wearing a glove. Watching this, I half-expected to see O.J. Simpson stumble into a bear trap, trip into a wedding cake, and fall off a boat....
Devils Launch "Don't Sell Tickets To Rangers Fans" Campaign
Compared to the old place at the Meadowlands, the Prudential Center is clean and modern...and really, really easy to get to from New York City. This tends to lead to the Rock being lousy with Rangers fans, something that could get a little embarrassing come playoff time. So the Devils aren't going t...

So, fantastic news. ESPN will announce at today's upfront that they will roll out a second series of sports documentaries under the 30 For 30 umbrella, even though it's no longer the network's 30th anniversary and there may not be 30 of them.

Los Angeles's Favorite Hockey Team Is A Basketball Team

Undrafted NFL Rookie Andrew Sweat Is Making A Mistake By Going To Law School [UPDATE]
This is Andrew Sweat. He was a linebacker for Ohio State, and he recently signed as an undrafted rookie free agent with the Cleveland Browns. "Andrew Sweat" is the perfect name for an undrafted linebacker on a Midwestern team who makes lots of frenzied tackles, but Sweat has decided to forgo the NFL...
The Capitals Are A Team Without A Coach Or A Plan
Dale Hunter will not return as coach of the Washington Capitals, it was announced just two days after the Caps lost a Game 7 in the Eastern Conference semifinals. It's a shock to just about everyone but the Capitals. As GM George McPhee said, "It wasn't unexpected." ...

As always, be sure to send in any would-be penises to the t...
Andy Pettitte Makes First Start Since Retiring Before The Original Roger Clemens Perjury Trial
Earlier in the week, Jon Heyman wrote something silly about Andy Pettitte not being trustworthy anymore because he said something potentially helpful for Roger Clemens, while being cross-examined by Roger Clemens's lawyer. Never mind that that is kind of the point of cross examination, but why not ...
Dan Majerle Caught An Automatic Double At Tonight's Diamondbacks Game
In his 14-year NBA career, Phoenix Suns star Dan Majerle made his name with intensity and a freakish body. Tonight "Thunder Dan" showed skills in a sport other than basketball, as the swingman—while grabbing a bite at a Chase Field picnic area—nabbed an automatic double off the bat of Geraldo Parra...

USHL Goalie Stephon Williams Makes Barehanded Save
USHL goalie Stephon Williams was left all alone on an island to face a point blank shot and he did not even have his glove. It wouldn't matter, though. He went ahead and made the barehanded save anyway. Williams would stop 29 of the 31 shots fired his way on Monday, as he anchored the Waterloo Bla...
Don Nelson Finally Will Graduate From College This Weekend
You know what they say. All these dumb NBA players go to college to play basketball, not to learn; it's a farce. No one gets a degree. Things used to be much better in the 1960s before John Calipari and all his fancy sneakers came to town....
