Joe Thornton Scores Freak Goal On The Luckiest Puck Bounce In History
A little over a minute into last night's Canucks-Sharks game, the puck bounced off the boards on a Joe Thornton dump, rolled up the net, and knocked off Roberto Luongo's shoulder for a goal.

That Is One Mighty Looking Sandwich
Here's a Foodspin reader offering up this monstrosity as a notable foodstuff of the state of New Jersey.

James Harden Really Didn't Feel Like Playing Defense Last Night

Just this week, the severed head of a former Brazilian professional soccer player was delivered to his wife's doorstep.

Everything That's Ridiculous About Steph Curry, In Two Shots
Chris Paul's 42 points and the return of Lob City were great, but last night's Warriors-Clippers game was also about Steph Curry further cementing his status as the league's most singular talent....
