If he hadn’t hit the car, he would have gone flying into the trees. So, who knows? mighta-coulda been worse. Also, major props to motorcyclist for taking out a pair of cyclists with one blow.

Kane, whose citywide Stanley Cup bash on Saturday was canceled in favor of a private party at his home, is being represented by a prominent local defense attorney.

Why would you go “over” the wall, when you could run around the fence first, maybe even get an attendant to swing the bullpen door open first? Wouldn’t that be the smarter thing to do?

“. . . Andruw sees the ball, runs to where it’s hit and waits for it.”

Having a hard time reconciling this —

...police are investigating some sort of incident...

They did, but CFL considers them completely different franchises. The Stallions are, of course, the winningest expansion franchise in American pro sports history. 32-10 career W-L record (27-9 regular season, 5-1 playoffs). Two seasons, two finals, one championship. The Stallions ended in Baltimore on a 16-game…

Rugby Union currently has a 5-point TD (“Try”), but up until the early 1970s it was only worth 3 points — same as a penalty kick (yuck) — so they smartened up to 4- and then 5-points fairly quickly. It does seem ridiculous in retrospect that the CFL still fancied itself as “Rugby Union,” but then the Grey Cup was…

Commentators (one is surely Chris Cuthbert) say that (the 5-yard rule) only applies to players who are “off-side.” The onside players from the kicking team can go grab that ball. It’s surprising that onside kick ins’t used more often. The kick could be a 10 yard grubber through the corner and safeties and an onside…

They don’t? They used to. Thought they still did. But they have a 5-yard rule -or something — where a tackler can’t be within a 5-yard or 5-metre radius, I think. Geezus, it’s been oooh, a couple decades since the best football team in Baltimore history — that would be the Stallions — perished, so it’s been a while,…

(It existed, a century ago.)

Seth Rollins and Jon Stewart have an on-going feud. (Please don’t tell me you don’t watch RAW. Please.)

Justin Bieber.

Even co-opting a moment as cool as Joe Carter swatting a World Series walk-off home-run can’t eliminate the inescapable whiff of lame poo Mr. Drake has offered up here.

“Black Grantland”... lemme guess, because there’s so much damn NHL coverage choking the life out of the “regular” sports desk.

Looked to me like he was deliberately trying to lay on the ball and use his body to protect it... let’s face it, it looked like a ruck (breakdown) situation, Torres was trying to kill the ball on the deck, like a desperate Frenchman panicking to defend his tryline, and got pinged by the ref.

Corey was a close personal friend of Michael Jackson, the late great musical genius, so I guess you can call them musical peers.

“White supremacy, the most destructive force in the world, will be what ultimately destroys it.”

John Cole at Balloon Juice weighs in, and not a minute too soon.

Scott Walker, the aspirant Presidential Candidate campaigning to rip up Obama’s peace deal and nuke Tehran on Inauguration Day. Yup, same ignorant assclown imbecile.
