Over Bill Belichick's tenure with the New England Patriots, winning has been a constant. Beyond that, Belichick has shown time and time again that he's playing chess while the rest of the NFL is playing checkers. He's certainly a better on-field coach than a GM, but he's still built a 15+ year dynasty almost exclusively [...]

You ever see bros on the beach bouncing balls off a trampoline? Well the official name for that "sport" is Spikeball and apparently some people take it very, very seriously. There are leagues, highlight clips on YouTube; the whole deal. One of those clips is currently making the rounds and is actually a pretty impressive [...]

There are fewer great NFL coaches than you may think, and beyond a certain hoodie-wearing curmudgeon in Foxboro, ranking the top ones is a tricky proposition. Being an NFL head coach is an endlessly complex endeavor, filled with all sorts of high-level decision making, and the NFL is an environment that stifles creativity and individuality. [...]
Floyd Mayweather likes to assert that he is T.B.E. Now, it's not exactly rare for a boxer to talk himself up in promoting a fight, but Floyd really seems to believe that he's the G.O.A.T. Only, he's not. And this has nothing to do with his being a horrible human being who has an alarming [...]
UPDATE: According to Clark Forster from the Jackson Hole NewsGuide, Ryen Russillo was found naked and drunk in a stranger's condo with his pants around his ankles. He apparently went there thinking it was his condo, entered a bedroom and took his clothes off, and was too drunk to leave when confronted by the residents. [...]
Yesterday afternoon the Celtics and Cavaliers came to terms on a trade that will send Isaiah Thomas, Jae Crowder, Ante Zizic, and the Nets' 2018 unprotected first-round pick to Cleveland in return for Kyrie Irving. While the news did pop suddenly, it wasn't quite as shocking as the majority of people on social media would [...]

Hello Again, whilst researching for a book i am writing i came across this little article in a Winnipeg newspaper from 6/12/1912 it reads: RINK OPENING IN TORONTO DELAYED. An ice making expert W.J. McGee arrived from New York Monday and after a thorough examination declared that the piping at the Arena would all have to be taken up and relaid.
This meant that the ice already formed would have to be thawed out and hot water was forced through the TWELVE MILES of pipe with that end in view. The pipes will have to taken up and relaid properly. This will delay the skating and hockey practices for another week at least.
Above: The Arena. Right: This is the programme from the final game at the Arena Gardens in 1930 Toronto Maple Leafs vs Montreal Maroons.
My love of hockey started many moons ago, I suppose my brother David is to blame, he used to take me to watch football first and Sunderland were our team, after the game we headed back into town to the leisure centre and watch some Ice-hockey. The home team were the Crowtree Chiefs and one of my first games were against the Billingham Bombers it was a local derby and quite a feisty game I remember. Although I seemed to enjoy watching the Chiefs I definitely saw a big difference in quality when we visited our other local team the Durham Wasps (O`Conner, Brebant, Smith`s, Crapper etc....). The best matchups had to be against the Whitley Warriors many a time we went to see a fight and a hockey game broke out. These were memorable times and i loved travelling around the country visiting other rinks. But my love for the game cranked up a gear when Channel 5 started televising live NHL games. I was in total awe of what I was seeing, so began my fascination for this breath taking sport. I had to find out more about all of the different uniforms, logos and nicknames. I have read masses of books and magazines and will not be getting involved in where it began or who started this game. I am interested in the hockey logo and what it represents to the fans that follow it, hence the blog. I wanted to show people the interesting logos and try to find out about other ones that could end up lost through time. Hopefully with my readers help I can gather enough information to fill a book perhaps. I know through my research their are some great works out their already ( SIHR Sweater museum, and logo database). I want to find out about the grass roots of hockey the amateur leagues [...]
