To Go With An Injury And A Loss, A Fan Stole Kobe Bryant's Towel
Not the best night for Kobe. After briefly leaving the game in the first with an ulnar nerve contusion (that's a bruised funny bone, and you don't need to be an athlete to know how obscenely painful it can be), and then seeing the Thunder shrug off an attempted comeback, Bryant had a towel pilfere...
Eric Fehr Used Some Kind Of Dark Wizardry To Score This Overtime Winner
I'm especially taken by the screengrab at the top of the Puck Daddy post on Eric Fehr's OT goal that gave the Capitals a 4-3 win over Boston last night, completing a comeback from 3-0. Fehr was all alone entering the Bruins zone, with two defenseman directly in front of him—Dougie Hamilton to his ...

There's been no update on Rangers defenseman Marc Staal, who left the game after taking a deflected puck in the eye. He did not go to the hospital, which is great news. (The puck appears to have struck just above the soft tissue, in the brow or orbit. It was only a matter of chance and of millimeter...
Here Is Every Known Gruesome Angle Of Marc Staal Taking A Slapshot In The Eye Tonight
I'm old enough to remember a few dudes in the NHL who played without a helmet. Dinosaurs of an earlier age like Brad Marsh and Greg Smyth Craig MacTavish were grandfathered in, showing what was left of their mullets and their intelligence while substituting machismo for brains (or the prospect of ...

New uniforms! Nothing is more exciting than the first chance to purchase see new college uniforms, especially when they're the result of a two-year Nike overhaul for that "other" Oregon school. Oregon State unveiled the new look last night, so let's dive in....
The Best (Or Maybe Worst) NBA Rule-Change Idea You'll Ever Hear
I was in New York on business last week (as much as what I do can be called "business" with a straight face) and I was working out of this office building downtown one morning when I had to go take a shit. So I grabbed my guest pass, beeped my way through a set of hallway doors (I always pretend I'm...

St. Andrew's School (R.I.) led by two and was 3.3 seconds away from winning the New England Preparatory School Athletic Council (NEPSAC) Class AA title against Cushing Academy (Mass.) on Sunday. But Cushing sophomore Jalen Adams took the inbounds pass, dribbled a few steps across halfcourt, and la...

JaVale McGee Spikes A Shot Into The Crowd, Preens, Throws Down Alley-Oop
Some advice for Anthony Tolliver: Next time, just forgo the pump fake and shoot the ball over Wilson Chandler. Chandler may have gotten a hand in your face and disrupted your shot, but he probably wouldn't have infantilized you with a vicious volleyball-spike, mean mugged at the crowd until he got...
It Takes A Space Cadet To Be An Aston Villa Supporter These Days
These are dark days at Villa Park. The Claret and Blue helped found the Premiership 20 years ago, but find themselves in danger of being relegated for the first time unless they can climb out of the EPL basement. Facing the defending champs is never going to inspire much confidence, though, and whi...
Jeff Carter Scored A Hat Trick On Hat Giveaway Night
The Kings' win over Nashville was bizarre, as far as 5-1 wins go. Scoreless through one, just 1-0 through two, Los Angeles just couldn't put pucks on net. The Predators blocked shots, clogged up the blue line, and made this one look like it would go down to the horn. Only, Pekka Rinne couldn't sto...

The Miami Heat easily dispatched with the Minnesota Timberwolves 97-81 tonight but early in the fourth quarter things were still relatively close. Then J.J. Barea decided to go rogue.
