There Was A Big Ol' Brawl Between Patriots Fans At Their Super Bowl Parade

Isn't The Super Bowl Supposed To Be Fun?
The Patriots are, in all likelihood, going to win again, and it’s going to be awful. The question now is: What is the worst possible way they could win? A 52-6 blowout?

Artemi Panarin Wants Out
The NHL, for reasons cultural and historical, is not like the NBA: You don’t see a lot of outright trade demands.
