On this date in WWF history: Stone Cold Steve Austin forfeits the Intercontinental belt and dumps it in a river

Can We Stop With The False Equivalence?
From Bruins fans to idiotic media personalities looking for attention, there's a lot of criticism of Max Pacioretty as well as Habs fans this morning. It should be expected that any time anything remotely controversial happens, Damien Cox has climbed atop his pedestal to troll fans and then...
WWE: Mick Foley no longer advertised for Nov. 13 Raw, Rock reunion also dropped
Sorry, folks, it looks like we may not be getting "This is your life, Rock" part deux after all. That's because Mick Foley has been removed from any and all advertisements for the Nov. 13 edition of WWE Raw. He had previously been listed on both WWE.com and the TD Garden Arena website, which is...
Losston Cannons
Well, Boston had another chance to clinch a playoff spot and they failed. As of right now, I would say that their best shot is for Denver and Chesapeake to continue losing and to wait for the season to end. Their defense seemed shaky in the first quarter by falling behind 3-0 to the Nationals. They...

Pythagorean Win Expectancy
A few days ago, Tim wrote up his mid season power rankings and this got me thinking about how the teams would finish. Being the stats nerd that I am, I started working on Pythagorean wins for lacrosse. When most people see Pythagorean, they think of the Pythagorean Theorem (a2+b2=c2). Well this is...
Wednesday with Dani: Patience is a virtue
