In my schoolyard it was called "butts up." In yours, it might have been "asses up," "wallball," "red ass," "suicide," but the game is the same, and taps in to the primal center of young boys' brains. It's essentially handball, but the first one to run up a certain number of "outs" must lean against ...

Drew Doughty spent the last 10 seconds of the 2011-2012 NHL season standing around and doing nothing.
