NBA Fines: Ballers Behaving Badly - Crunchology →
“I smile, $25,000 lighter, but I’m smiling.” So said Golden State Warriors coach Mark Jackson after the NBA levied a $25,000 fine for “attempting to influence the officiating.” Must be real nice to still be smiling after a fine that size, right? It sounds like a lot of cash to normal folk who don’t have a multimillion dollar job contract, but it’s...

Ravens Take Matt Elam with 32nd Pick in NFL Draft
The worst part about having the 32nd pick this year is spending the evening worrying that the Ravens were going to take Manti Te’o. (Ok fine, I spent it monitoring the draft online while watching Scandal. Olivia Pope > Roger Goodell, all day every day. I love football, but the NFL draft is actually not compelling television.) I’m happy about the Ravens’ pick solely because...

‘If you are losing faith in human nature, go out... →
This morning, I was on the phone with some runners who have raced marathons to raise money for Spina Bifida research and awareness.  Their story was so inspiring that I actually felt a little ashamed that I wasn’t running marathons, too. (I’ve occasionally, briefly considered it before realizing that is a really long time to run when you don’t really like running.)  Between...

nhlbruins: In the latest BRUINS :30 video, Adam McQuaid checks in from the 6th Annual Cuts for a Cause with the “before” and “after” of his haircut. To mullet, or not to mullet? That is the question…. Normally, the answer is always not to mullet.  Except, of course, when it’s Adam McQuaid, and then the answer is always, always to mullet!  EXCEPT when it’s for charity, in which...

"Elite"? Sure, when it comes to his contract
“Now, Baltimore Ravens: It’s 2008. gonna sell you a quarterback for $120 million, more money than any qb in NFL history! You’re going to go to the playoffs every single year for his first 5 years in the league…and win at least one game each time. You’re going to win the division twice; you’re going to sweep your 8 home games and the AFC North for the first time ever during one of those seasons;...

– USC nose tackle Antwuan Woods on the Trojans’ new defensive scheme for 2013 As a fan of both the Ravens and USC, this makes me a little nervous. Sure, we won the Super Bowl, but the defense overall this season (and the last few years, really) hasn’t quite lived up to its dominant...

Mark Buehrle Will Leave His Family Behind Because... →
Saw this earlier this week on Deadspin. It’s not quite as dramatic as the header suggests (never is, is it?) but basically, MLB pitcher Mark Buehrle was traded from the Miami Marlins to the Toronto Blue Jays. If it wasn’t already depressing enough to be relocated from South Florida to Canada, one of his dogs is an American Staffordshire terrier which is banned in Ontario and,...
