The World Junior Hockey Championships Is Worth Checking Out
By Beaker

An Idea for My New NHL
By Beaker
Dear Mr. Commissioner Gary Bettman,
You don’t know me (even though you should) but I have a crackpot idea that might be of interest to My New NHL (MNNHL).

Clemens’ Epidural Hasn’t Worn Off
By Beaker
I know. There are too many important things to talk about than sports. Like how Paris Hilton’s grandfather gave away 97% of the family’s inheritance to charity. Grandpa Hilton is, like, so cool. The Trampstick may have to flip burgers after all.

I really hope ‘Glen Or Glenda’ Is On

The New York Kickerbockers Hold Fans In Contempt
By Beaker
New York Knicks basketball brass is attempting to do.Head coach (only in name and title of course) Isiah Thomas is an unmitigated disaster in New York. A horrible basketball team and sexual allegation charges will usually hurt a person. His legitimacy has been, naturally, undermined. Yet, it’s as if Alfred E. Neuman is running [...]

Inter Tops AC In Milan Derby
By Beaker
Inter Milan notched a 2-1 derby victory at the San Siro over their counterpart, AC Milan. It is no wonder that a single goal separates both teams. Inter top the Serie A table with the best defense, having conceded a miserly 9 goals in 17 matches while Milan boast the second best defense with [...]
