The Cleveland Browns are having such a difficult time this season, they can’t even win coin tosses, let alone games. The Browns dropped to 4-7 on the season after losing to the Bengals Sunday. Even more improbably, they lost the coin toss for …
One middle school basketball team is so good it was scrutinized for a blowout win over an opponent earlier in the season. Pikeville (Ky.) is 17-1 on the season and beat an opponent 100-2 in a preseason tournament three weeks ago (highlights above). …
Bengals wide receiver Jerome Simpson has 3 100-yard games this season, including an 8-catch 152 yard effort against the Ravens in Week 11. Though he’s had some bright moments on the field, nothing he does in the future will ever compare to …
Urban Meyer may be a fantastic football coach, but he’s a horrendous liar. Two years ago, he retired citing health concerns. The reason was legitimate given that he went to the hospital after a game for heart problems. He was spooked by the …
Amare Stoudemire has really been embracing his roots since learning that he had some Jewish heritage on his mother’s side of the family. He’s visited Israel, learned a little Hebrew, and he’s even consuming somewhat of a Kosher …

I have no idea what caused this brawl, but Puck Daddy informs us that the teams involved (HIFK, Pelicans) set a league record by amassing 465 penalty minutes. If you watch the video (particularly after the 1:17 mark), you’ll know why. These …
