Antoine Griezmann's New Contract Means He Isn't Going To Manchester United—Yet

Dennis Rodman Is Back In North Korea For Some Reason
Former Jordan sidekick Dennis Rodman, last seen palling around with North Korean dictator Kim Jong-un and offering some quarter-baked thoughts about protestors, is back doing what he does best, which is wedging himself back into the spotlight in the most moronic way possible. Rodman has visited Nort...
To A Predators Fan Feeling Awful Today
Drag yourself out of bed, depressed Predators fan. Peel your face off the pillow; blink away the light that means a new day came anyway, no matter how little you wanted it to. Let the memories of last night, and your Stanley Cup final loss, rush in. It’s all going to hurt. I’m going to show you a co...
Penguins Fans Celebrate Stanley Cup Victory By Eating Raw Catfish
Penguins fans celebrated last night’s Stanley Cup victory the way most fanbases do: by gathering in the streets and getting rowdy. Some fans were a little wilder than others, and by “wilder” I mean “more willing to consume mashed-up raw fish.”...
Penguins Win Fifth Stanley Cup
A Patric Hornqvist goal with 90 seconds left in the third period gave Pittsburgh the lead they needed as the Penguins claimed the Stanley Cup for the second straight year, winning by an eventual score of 2-0 after a late empty-net goal by Carl Hagelin....
Officials' Blunder Costs Nashville Game-Opening Goal

The Stanley Cup Final Has Gotten Nasty
For the first time since 2011, we’ve got a final that appears to have some legitimate bad blood.

Subban and Sidney Crosby boiled over into a ground-a...
Mike Milbury On Sidney Crosby Grinding P.K. Subban's Head Into The Ice: He "Had It Coming"
NBC broadcaster Mike Milbury is scarcely a month removed from declaring P.K. Subban a “clown” who deserved a “rap on the head” for daring to get loose during warmups by dancing on the ice.

<i>Fargo</i> Remains The Best, Most Inexplicable Show On TV
The three seasons of Fargo do not share any of the same characters, timelines, or even locales. The show’s anthology drama allows it to pull in talent like Ted Danson and Billy Bob Thornton for a single season, and what it lacks in the sort of continuity that sustains any long-running TV show, it ma...

But his time was off the charts: a wind-legal 9.82 ...

Sidney Crosby Can't Do This Himself, But He Damn Well Tried
It’s me, the guy who thinks Sidney Crosby doesn’t get the attention or credit he deserves for his play. No wait, don’t leave!...
Pekka Rinne Is Good Again
“I don’t know what he needed to prove to anybody,” Austin Watson said of goaltender Pekka Rinne, but I think it was pretty obvious. Rinne had been awful in the first two games of the Stanley Cup final. He needed to prove he hadn’t collapsed completely—that he could, at the very least, again be the p...
