The AHL Playoff MVP Made Some Buffalo Wings Inside The Damn Calder Cup
One of the best traditions in hockey is the customary “players’ day with the Cup” that happens after a team wins a championship.

Umpire Rob Drake Makes Compelling Case For Umpire Robo Drake
The way the robo-umpire experiment down in the Atlantic League is configured, it should not especially threaten the jobs of human umpires, who are still tasked with communicating balls and strikes and acting as a failsafe against computer glitches. That’s good news for all human umpires, but perhaps none more so than…Read more...
Keon Broxton Earns Ejection With Badass Long-Distance No-Look Glove Slap
I prefer to live in a world where the action that got Keon Broxton ejected from Monday night’s Yankees-Mariners game was 100 percent intentional.

What Should Andrew Luck Do With His Superpower Of Making Dumb People Mad?
