Raccoon Cheats Death At Yankees Spring Training
Raccoons are attracted to shiny objects, so it makes sense that this Tampa-area raccoon would choose to attend Yankees spring training. Maybe this is the same raccoon as the one who snuck in two years ago to watch the same team practice at the same field? Perhaps. I think, at this point, the evidenc...

Report: The Islanders Are Struggling In Brooklyn
I’ll admit, I called this one wrong: when the Islanders moved into the Barclays Center, I gave up on getting tickets for a few years, thinking it would take at least that long for the novelty to wear off and face-value seats to become available. Well, the Isles’ first regular season in Brooklyn isn’...

Jerod Mayo Retires At Age 29
Jerod Mayo was probably not going to be a Patriot next season, at least not at his current salary.

No One Showed Up To That Anti-Beyoncé Rally, Which Might've Been A Prank To Begin With
A whole bunch of Twitter eggs took offense with Beyoncé’s Super Bowl halftime performance of “Formation,” which used imagery inspired by the Black Panthers.
