Whether you're chucking strikes or gutters, I'll have the odds for you.

A couple weeks back there was a crazy KHL bench-clearing brawl in which none other than Jaromir Jagr was forced to bear hug a dude for dear life and then cried about it to international media outlets. Puck Daddy coverage here.Now this. Small children fighting poorly. You can tell they're Russian due to the lack of equipment littering the ice (hey-oh!)and I just love how the adults (coaches?) just

Well this might just be the greatest time-wasting website ever: http://www.xtranormal.com/. Animation? Cuss words? Funny accents? Check, check and check. Go give it a go. If not, this little ankle-biter is going to jack you up like this... Note: You gotta wait like 27 seconds for it.Crokinole tourney's a-comin, kids. Keep yer ear to the ground.

About the only thing that could make this a better birthday is a dang beard like Mark Oliver Everett's - the dude better known as "E". Guy could hide a full mess of muskrats in there without batting a greasy eyelash. Respect.Started digging the Eels way back in the "Beautiful Day" days (which you may remember from the college cultish classic "Road Trip") and this latest album Hombre Lobo gets

All apologies about the video quality, gang, but I wanted to show something live and there wasn't exactly a lot to choose from. Anyway, you can hit up the studio version of 15 Minutes from his newest album Troubadour here. The album could be the big break he needs, featuring heavyweights like Damian Marley and Mos Def, while pumping out a record that's heavy on issues and light on its feet at the

I've been on a self-imposed sports wagering hiatus since football season ended. It's been good. Sometimes you have to take a step back in order to take a step forward. But when I saw my New York Rangers team priced as serious underdogs against a frilly Capitals team, I drew a line in the sand and put some straight cash money to the cause. Here's how I see the first round of the playoffs shaking

Huh? Pardon?I was listening to this on Q during the drive home and barely had any idea what Thornton was going on about. Watching it here cranks the Awkward Meter off the charts.*Trust me, you'd better take 10 minutes right now and watch the thing*I love the look on his face around the 50-second mark, just before he drops the "I don't know what you're talking about" quip that kicks off his

So let's just get this out of the way: Sean Avery's a jackass.That's not the debate here. The real question is whether he's the best professional jackass the NHL's ever seen. He's cut from the same mould of a long line of NHL agitators like Claude Lemieux, Esa Tikkanen, and Matthew Barnaby - guys who'd all backhand your grandmother and then slash your tires given half a chance.But Avery's a new

Shadows are fallin' and I've been here all dayIt's too hot to sleep and time is runnin' awayFeel like my soul has turned into steelI've still got the scars that the sun didn't healThere's not even room enough to be anywhereIt's not dark yet but it's gettin' there.I think I know how the crowd felt like when Bob Dylan first wearily waded his way though that opening of Not Dark Yet, on some stage

Personally, I'd say it was the bird calls that did it for Conan. Kinda makes you wanna hop in a canoe for a little paddle with a six-pack on a nice July eve, doesn't it? Furr's the title track of the album, but it's full of doozies if you dig this rambling folkish kind of thing. Wild Mountain Nation is worth a listen, too.What are the odds these guys end up touring with Wilco over the next couple

We’ve been lied to, folks.It’s 2009 and still nothing. No hoverboards, no personal teleporters, no aerocars, no jetpacks.Remember The Jetsons? In 2062 George worked three hours for three days a week. Robots doing everything for the guy. These days he’d be the office joker that still can’t figure out the microwave six months into the gig.Georgie had an aerocar. Elroy was a spoiled little asshole

Back during those crazy Democratic National Convention days when "the Obama poster" t-shirts started flying from New York sidewalk stashes like mustard packets at the good 'dog stand outside of MSG, we probably should have braced ourselves for the Obama Brand.Maybe we did – maybe half-heartedly. Everybody figured Obama was going to be the first black guy in the big White House. McCain kept
