Your Gold Cup Finals Open Thread
At stake in tonight's Gold Cup final between the soccer teams of the United States of America and Mexico is a berth in the 2013 Confederation Cup. And bragging rights. And all that. Granted, the USA pretty much dominates El Tri in the land of the free, but Mexico's got itself a worthy side. Then a...
Your NHL Draft Open Thread
Here's your draft order. Expect a lot of Canadians and Europeans to get picked. Expect interviews with, and commentary from, guys named Gord. The TSN simulcast is on Versus, right about now....
Your NBA Draft Open Thread
It's time for the Passion of the Jimmer, and, allegedly, lots of other young men. Come for the comically sized suits, stay for David Kahn's asinine decisions!...
Your USA/Jamaica Gold Cup Quarterfinals Open Thread
The Gold Cup's knockout stage commences for Estados Unidos de América this afternoon.

Your Canucks/Bruins Game Six Open Thread (Body-Painted Canadians Edition)

Your Heat/Mavs Game 3 Open Thread
The LeBron-DeShawn Stevenson saga is like a Bizarro version of King James' public image. In 2008, Stevenson started a spat when called LeBron "overrated." Now it's all water under the bridge:...
Your Heat/Mavericks Game Two Open Thread
The Miami Heat try to retain home-court advantage with a win over the Dallas Mavericks tonight. Nowitzki'll wear a middle-finger splint, so unless he has experience excelling with his middle finger all doctored up, they probably will. Or won't. Most Americans don't seem to care....
Your National Spelling Bee Open Thread
Yeah, this is going to get MURDERED by the Finals tonight. But the Spelling Bee really is the tits.

Your Barcelona/Manchester United Open Thread
Best I can tell from the handy 'Countdown to UEFA Champions League Wembley London Final 2011,' the FC Barcelona v. Manchester United game should kick-off at precisely 2:45 p.m. eastern. It's a match between the two best club teams on earth, worthy of not only U.S. network coverage but a day when th...
Your Sharks/Canucks Game Five Open Thread
The Vancouver media loves the Sedins again. We'll see how venomous the rancor can get should San Jose win tonight, to make the series 3-2 and send it back Sharkward....
