A Face Only A Hockey Puck Could Love
Once upon a time, NHL goalies played without masks. Unsurprisingly, their faces often got all fucked up. In 1966, LIFE published an article, "The Goalie Is the Goat," that not only aimed to put a human countenance on "hockey's reviled and bludgeoned fall-guys," but featured a photo of what looked li...
Nothing Is Better Than Football In The Snow
That's it. After four hilarious, exciting, sloppy, just downright fun snowbound games, I don't want to hear a single person complaining about the possibility of bad weather at the Super Bowl. Football isn't just designed to be a cold-weather sport; it's so much better that way....

The Badassest Rookie Linebacker The NFL Has Ever Seen
I was never a Bears fan, although I do admire the uniform — orange, black and white together just feels football-y, somehow — and I bawled like a crazy person while reading I Am Third and again while watching Brian's Song. (Damn you, James Caan. Damn you to tearjerking hell.) But recently I came acr...
How A <em>Life</em> Photographer Got This Ridiculous Shot Of 14 NFL QBs In 1961

Tough Love: Watching Football On TV While Sitting In The Snow
At first glance, it's just a photo of Big Blue fans watching the 1962 NFL title game while seated outside a Connecticut motel, beyond the range of the New York City-area TV blackout. (Green Bay beat the Giants that day at the old Yankee Stadium, 16-7.)...
The Kennedys And Their Goddamn Football, Fer Chrissake
Everyone's talking about JFK these days, and why not? He and his messed-up brothers from that twisted, doomed family certainly had style, even if the lads were — by and large — narcissists congenitally addicted to strange. Style. It's a slippery thing. Here, for example, is a picture of Jack tossing...

This Guy Yells At Girls All Day, But It's Cool
In September 1965, LIFE magazine profiled a man named Bill Horan, a World War II vet who spent his days yelling at young women. That's not all he did, though. He also instilled the sort of character traits one might expect from a former paratrooper — tenacity, discipline, resilience — through cheerl...

This wonderful artifact surfaced on Imgur earlier today, and it will be enjoyed by people all over the world for years to come. If Duke haters have any sense at all, they will start referring to Coach K as "Mick Krizilonski" from here on out. ...
The Jubilance And Trauma Of Victory Displayed On One Tennis Court
Today in London a pair of Spaniards took the doubles finals of the ATP World Tour. The emotion David Marrero displays on the left? Triumph, of course. And Fernando Verdasco, on the right? Why, that's triumph as well, albeit laced with relief and exhaustion....
Florida State Running Back Demonstrates How To Run Over A Defender
Turns out, it's a lot like it sounds. The defender's lucky that James Wilder Jr. was close to the end zone, otherwise he probably would have been dragged along for another ten yards or so. Photo by Nell Redmond/AP Images...
