The black gloves and helmets littered the corner of the ice. The sticks were strewn about, joyously tossed aside as the mob of white and red jerseys piled onto each other against the boards.
The giddy hollers and yelps of Canadian fans, who only ten minutes earlier were gagging on their beers wondering if their team [...]

Yesterday was President’s Day. The one day a year everyone gets together and asks, “Why do we have this day off again?” Well, since the Pump Fake had to postpone its show, due to being locked out of the office, we thought we should honor those brave Presidents who have come before.
Since there are exactly [...]

Since President Barack Obama gave his first State of the Union address last week, we thought it would only be proper that look at the State of the Sports Union. No we don’t mean a rehash of what your two lowly graduate students are up to–as poor as ever and as time pressed as ever [...]

“Defense wins championships.” I’m told I should sear that into my brain.
It’s a true statement that being able to stop an opposing offense is a prerequisite to winning.

The key to Saturday’s NFC Playoff game is the Arizona Cardinals offense.  The key to the Arizona Cardinals offense is Kurt Warner.
Cardinals Game Plan: Score. Score. Score. The Cardinals will look to continue their scoring ways from last week as they lean on their ageless leader, Warner.  If the Cardinals can score it will put [...]
