Halloween for 82 games. 50+ photos of the NHL's masked men and their masks. Better than anything you'll find in your local drug store's Halloween section. (SI)

2,250 boxy, 7-foot soldiers. The best of the green ones, the 300 that can blend into the scenery as much as a portable toilet can, will be stationed near the Central Park finish line of Sunday's New York City Marathon.

Gimme a High Four! On the football field, a place where Trevor Wikre says "time slows down", he felt something like "wet popcorn" in his right lineman's glove.

Giants' Receiver Burress Shoots Leg in Gun Accident New York Giants wide receiver Plaxico Burress accidentally shot himself in the leg with his own gun at a New York City club Friday night. The injury required hospitalization but is not life-threatening, a source told Newsday. Burress had a concealed weapon permit in Florida that might be active, but New York does not recognize the permit so he could face charges.

Interesting that the article states his license had expired in May 08, and that some states allow up to 6 months to renew. And that puts the deadline at tomorrow. We'll see if they push that paperwork through in time.

What this article doesn't state is the amount of people that Citibank has already laid off (or is planning to). 'Ahh, we don't need those 500 employees, they'll just take up money we need for naming a stadium.'
I am just unable to figure out why the economy is where it is. I don't get it.

I heard conversation about this yesterday on the radio. It also involved other banks that sponsor PGA events as well. It does make sense, If you don't have the money to sustain your institution, then how can you justify the spending of $400 million for naming rights or xxx amount of dollars for other sponsorships. That would be similar to the average Joe applying for food stamps because his money is going towards a Ferrari.

NFL overtime rules? Don't ask McNabb "No, I didn't know that," Donovan McNabb said at his postgame press conference, saying he was not aware that one overtime is all you get in the NFL in the regular season. Then McNabb compounded his error by not knowing the postseason overtime rule. Those games do play to a conclusion for obvious reasons, but McNabb said, "I hate to see what happens in the Super Bowl or I hate to see what happens in the playoffs. You have to settle with a tie." A real student of the game.

Are you just dying to keep this thread going, BI?
I realize who you are talking about, but this isn't unusual for Philly, and has happened before, so what is it that you don't get? I've come to expect this out of the City of Brotherly Love.

Pirates sign 2 Indian pitchers — and, no, not from Cleveland The two 20-year-old pitchers, neither of whom had picked up a baseball until earlier this year, signed free-agent contracts Monday with the Pirates. They are believed to be the first athletes from India to sign professional baseball contracts outside their country.

Okay fine, Japan! We won't court your players anymore. We'll just go to...ah...India...right! Then we'll have a TV show see...and...who knew? It's a friggin hotbed of arms not destroyed by our Little League. Ha! We'll show you!
On a serious note, Are the young men in the US just not good enough anymore? There has to be another small Texas town or Florida school with a few golden arms left. Right? Are we (US) "tapped"? Really? 3 to 4 years of minor league ball is a pretty significant amount of time to devote to game show contestants, no matter where they are from.
From a future note, In 10 years, I can see Ryan Seacrest hosting the new hit TV show The American Baseball Idol. Fox is gonna make a killing. And the World Series games will be 6 hours long and will end on Christmas Day. (Because of the 2 month International Inter-League Play schedule.)

QMJHL suspends another Roy son The Quebec Major Junior Hockey League suspended another of Patrick Roy's sons Monday, handing Quebec Remparts forward Frdrick Roy fifteen games for a high-sticking incident during Friday night's game against the Juniors in Montreal.

I love that Jonathon is pleading not guilty for the past incident. What's his excuse? "My dad made me do it?" (Which may be true) And this play is every bit as criminal. A cross check to the face, and then a pansy-ass move to pull up your sleeves and skate away. If both Roy's do continue to play, all I can hope is "what goes around comes around". Where's Chris Simon? I think we may have found him a new home.
And to think I was going to post more (Patrick)Roy cards on eBay because of the jersey retirement, now I just can't do it.

Golfer Plays Illegal Ball in PGA Qualifying Round After two rounds of PGA Tour qualifying last week, golfer J.P. Hayes made an excruciating discovery -- a ball he had used during the first round was a Titleist prototype that wasn't approved for competition. He could say nothing and go on to a likely berth in the final qualifying stage in December or turn himself in and be disqualified. "I called an official in Houston that night and said, 'I think I may have a problem,'" he said.
