I clearly have my priorities right. The first I hear about him being killed is watching that video on SpoFi.

Glad that a Phila. pro sports facility is linked to a positive national moment. I knew it wasn't just a snowball Santa town.

But the Donald is gonna have to see the death certificate.
Going off the existing time-table, he'll see it in late 2013...

Lightning win Game 2 of their series against the Caps 3-2 in overtime. Goals in the game for Tampa from Lecavelier and St. Louis. This is starting to get some major shades of 2004 going in my head, but this time with extra Stamkos. Lightning take a 2-0 series lead home to Florida.

Georges St-Pierre retains title at UFC 129 St-Pierre did just enough to send the largest crowd in Ultimate Fighting Championship history home happy. The mixed martial arts star successfully defended his welterweight title in front of more than 55,000 partisan fans in Toronto's Rogers Centre Saturday night, beating Jake Shields by unanimous decision. In the other big bout on the card, Lyoto (The Dragon) Machida ended the storied career of Randy (The Natural) Couture with a second-round knockout, landing a jumping front kick flush on the MMA legend's chin. Machida was awarded a $129,000 Knockout of the Night bonus for the move.
