The Oscars come around ...
Justin Williams Sacrificed His Face To Score The Hurricanes' Opening Goal Against The Panthers

There's Only One <i>Game Of Thrones</i> Fan Theory That Matters Anymore

The Sports Highlight Of The Day Is These Noble Ski Dogs
The setting is a ski slope in Montana, per the tag on the video. The conditions are fresh and powdery, with even more flakes coming down. The dogs are dumb and happy, until they are fast, sleek, and hurtling like little fur missiles downhill. This is pure....
