Could a morbidly obese goalie shut out an NHL team? In an excerpt from 'Andy Roddick Beat me With a Frying Pan,' Todd Gallagher explores and tests the burning question of if very very large could effectively close off the net.

McLaren lose 2007 points, fined $100m but Alonso and Hamilton keep their driver's points. They are, however, barred from appearing on the podium the rest of the season. More news here.

Why Cyclists Really Shave Their Legs The cycling columnist for The Guardian has something to get off his chest today about his silky-smooth shaven legs: Cyclists don't do it for aerodynamic reasons. "Experts may try to tell you instead that smooth legs are worth a couple of seconds a kilometre, so this male depilation can mean the margin between victory and defeat," Matt Seaton writes. "But if this were true, we would all be shaving our forearms. And perhaps our eyebrows, too. ... we shave our legs because we think it looks good."

they do it so the hair doesn't get stuck in the chain. Same with the balls.

Panthers release Keyshawn Johnson When the Carolina Panthers drafted Southern California receiver Dwayne Jarrett in the second round Saturday, Keyshawn Johnson was ecstatic. "This is a great pick. We need another wide receiver," Johnson gushed while working as a draft analyst for ESPN. "This guy is much like me. I'm going to teach him how to play from the point of attack." He won't get the chance.

New car no fun for most drivers. NASCAR’s grand experiment, the Car of Tomorrow, took the next step last Saturday night in Phoenix, and it was not a big hit with many of the Nextel Cup drivers. “I could see the leaders almost the whole race, and it was like we all were just out there running the exact same lap times,” said Dale Earnhardt Jr. “It was a parade. I was bored".

black hand as I remember Jr. made the chase last year. He even finished 6th in points.

So OK everyone has come to the conclusion that this idot is a DUMBASS. Now don't you think everyone also understands that drinking and driving is wrong? Not everyone always makes the right choice , but we don't come here to be preached to either. Just enjoy the banter

Suspected Knee Ligament Damage for Beckham David Beckham, ... seemed to have twisted his right knee in the 69th minute, while attempting an on-the-run cross, and hobbled of the pitch clutching it.

Martin finds himself odd man out ... again Kevin Harvick comes from 7th in the final laps to win the Daytona 500 by .020 seconds. The ending was well worth waiting for. Congrats to Kevin Harvick and the Sportsmanship Award should go to Mark Martin.

Heres the thing that everyone has seemed to look over. How much of a slap in the face would it have been to Jack Rousch, if Mark would have won in a chevy the first time out of the box, after not being able to do it in his Ford in the 19 years they spent together. I was pulling for Mark , but was just as happy to see Harvick win his first 500. So why would he have just followed Martin to the line as other suggested that he should've done?

Tradin' paint over control of DEI Dale Earnhardt, Jr., and his stepmother, Teresa, are locked in a battle for majority ownership of Dale Earnhardt Inc. Could the son end up leaving the race team his father built, and would he be better off if he did? One NASCAR commentator seems to think so.

which ever route she decides to take she loses. If she signs JR then she lost her stake in the company. If she doesn't she loses him , bud , fans, endorsements, and becomes a museum in two years. I hate to say it but she's got her TA TAS Stuck in a ringer.

Joe Buck and Jim Nantz, Sportscasters or corporate shills? Slate asks - yawn - are Buck and Nantz the best TV can do?

What i would like to see is an announcer who unbiasly calls a game. You are broadcasting to everyone not the winning teams fans. Just look at the Eagles - Saints game and Darrell Johnston. He was pulling for the Saints the whole first half, and even on the half time show, they asked if he was aware that two teams were playing? The second half he called a total different game. Call the game, not who you want to win.

"World's Oldest Hockey Stick" goes for $2.2 million! The curved hunk of hickory, believed to have been carved between 1852 and 1856, was purchased by an anonymous bidder. The purchase price will go to charity. Here's a shock: a Canadian bought it.

'Scuse me while I whip this out... Florida Marlins pitcher Dontrelle Willis arrested on suspicion of DUI after cops observe him get out of his car and urinate in the street in Miami. Personally, I'd have held off on drunken shenanigans until after I'd finished with my contract negotiations. Then again, that's just me.

urallcloolis I don't make millions either so my picture also isn't on the cover of S.I. It goes along with the stature. If he doesn't like being on the lime light get a real 9-5 job. Then his life won't be talked about. So what he can throw a ball. I can build houses can he? NO would I be treated different?

When I was 22 / 23 I would go to clubs and if I had to much I would call a cab. I was only a carpenters helper with no money, but I had responsibility even in a drunken state. So it appears to me that if you can afford a Bentley than you should be able to afford a cab if not a fleet of them. Celeb status makes you no better or above the law. Treat him just like any other Tom, Dick, & Harry would be.

and after the puck entered the crease everyone would just push you into the net and the line would be exsposed resulting in a goal.
