The Devils Had A Grand Old Time At The Clubs After Their Game 6 Loss
Here we go again. Time to have that age-old debate over whether it's acceptable for athletes to have fun and go out partying after losing a championship. It seems like we just had this argument four months ago, but the answer remains the same: Yes, it is always acceptable. ...
LeBron James Cuddled The Larry O'Brien Trophy Like It Was One Of His Children
I had a conversation about LeBron James with my grandmother at a cousin's wedding in Colorado this weekend. My Баба lives outside of Cleveland, and like all awesome old ladies she has strong opinions about sports. Our discussion turned to basketball and LeBron James's psyche....
The Thunder Are A Matchup Nightmare For Copy Editors. So Is The Heat.
Tonight's tipoff between the Oklahoma City Thunder and the Miami Heat is a milestone for American pro sports. For the first time, a major championship is pitting two teams whose names are mass nouns rather than ordinary plurals. The naming fad that gave us the Heat and the Orlando Magic at the end o...
Bristolmetrics: The Miami Heat Got 120 Minutes Of <i>SportsCenter</i> Coverage Last Week; Every Other Sport Shared 130
When last we met, the Heat got more coverage than the Western Conference, Stephen A. Smith was inexplicably promoting a sci-fi blockbuster, and the NHL was discussed less than the Indy 500. What would this week bring? ...
Lynn Shelton Is The Next Great American Director
Can you believe that only two American women have ever been nominated for an Academy Award in the Best Director category? Two. Awards are too often lazily used as some sort of actual shorthand barometer of quality and consensus—Jesus, people, Crash won, which should have eliminated that notion forev...
Send Us Your Photos Of Rob Gronkowski Wearing A Shirt

Kenyan Schoolchildren Reenact Game 6 Of The 1986 World Series
This has been going around for a week (we saw it when Keith Law tweeted it this morning) and it is picture perfect. From "Mookie Wilson" waving Kevin Mitchell to the plate, to "Bill Robinson" jumping up and down as the ball rolls through Buckner's legs, to "Ray Knight"'s hands on the back of his h...
The Goat, The Goalie, And Another Easy Win For The Best Hockey Team In The World
Drew Doughty spent the last 10 seconds of the 2011-2012 NHL season standing around and doing nothing. As the Devils made a token effort along the boards in the Kings zone, and as the Kings made a similarly token effort to chip the puck out, Doughty stood on the edge of the crease, never leaving his ...
Dustin Brown Sums Up Joy Of Winning Stanley Cup With Big Ol' F-Bomb On Live TV
Pierre McGuire had just asked Los Angeles Kings captain Dustin Brown whether he could have envisioned this moment several months back.

We told you earlier about Rob Gronkowski's appearance Saturday night at a Children's Hospital charity event in Boston, after which he danced shirtless and may or may not have purposely dumped a drink on a woman.

L.A. Kings PR Staff Plans To Withhold Stats From The Devils, Accidentally Tells Every Reporter About It
It's the responsibility of the home team's PR staff to compile statistics after each period, then rush print-outs down to both teams' locker rooms. It's not vital information, but it's nice for a coach to be able to quantify things like ice time and shots taken. During Saturday's game 5 in Newark, D...
The Dumbest Story Written About Derek Jeter (Post-3,000th-Hit Edition)
Really, Brian Lewis of the New York Post? This is an actual sentence that ran in a newspaper story after, say, 2004, and not something Tim McCarver said on air? OK:...

Rob Gronkowski Attends Charity Event, Removes Shirt, (Maybe) Pours Drink On Woman [UPDATED]
It began as a busy offseason of funneling beers, wearing Zubaz, and lying around with cats for Rob Gronkowski, but it's been a while since we've had a genuine sighting of yo soy fiesta. That relative quiet may or may not have had anything to do with negotiations for the lucrative contract extension ...
LeBron James Is Finally Good At Basketball
Now that LeBron has finally won a game people think is important, maybe we can talk about how good the guy has been. We've talked some in these parts about Rajon Rondo and his Fuck You brand of basketball. LeBron James, with that one three point shot late in the game and follow through pose, ushere...
Tonight No One Will Remember Hockey, Not Just Los Angeles
The Los Angeles Kings have had a pretty strange post season. They have completely dominated their opponents throughout each round of the Stanley Cup Playoffs and endeared themselves to an increasingly Twitterized public all the while California has no idea who they are. The Devils meanwhile, are ha...

Found: One University Of Kentucky Prosthetic Leg
OK. So. We have here a prosthetic leg emblazoned with the University of Kentucky Wildcats logo. The leg was pulled in by a shrimping boat in Florida. It appears to be a right leg. Guessing from the footwear I am assuming it belonged to a male, outdoorsy type. Of course, it is possible that it's a f...
Wearing A Fish Bib And Singing An Italian Song Did Not Give Tommy Lasorda Or Lou Piniella A Heart Attack, TMZ Says
This was the scene Sunday evening at Bamonte's, an Italian restaurant in the Williamsburg section of Brooklyn that's been open since 1900. Bamonte's is a wonderfully old-school red-sauce joint—try the stuffed peppers appetizer and the eggplant rollatini—and it's not uncommon there for a couple of ol...
