Why? Why not? Just watch it if you want.

It was a rough night for the San Jose Sharks (lost 7-3), especially Ben Eager who somehow logged 20 penalty minutes. But on the bright side he did manage to get flashed by a Canucks fan while sitting in the penalty box.

Somehow Versus didn’t manage to catch this on air. Fortunately for everyone the CBC did. (NSFW)

Can we all be thankful that the Green Men didn’t flash their junk.

As a guy you have to feel for Allen Goodwin. You are lucky if you see one foul ball come into your vicinity in your fandom lifetime. So when it does and you have to watch as your wife snags it from your grasps while holding your 8 month old son it has to hurt.

Can one ever get over this? Will his friends make fun of you for the rest of his life?

The Richmond Flying Squirrels need to let him throw out the first pitch.

Wonder what Wayne Rooney will do if Manchester United beats Barcelona on May 28th.

It looks like Sergio Ramos isn’t the only soccer player with butter fingers. Ajax fresh off their 30th Dutch league championship celebrated in grand fashion with a bus parade through the city of Amsterdam. Goalkeeper Maarten Stekelenburg had the honors of hoisting the trophy on the ride. Unfortunately for him the plate hit some overhead train wires and flew off the bus rolling around on the ground as fans looked on.

Action starts about 33 seconds in.

You may not know this, but before he was the successful host of “The Chair” and the pitchman for some rental car company (Budget? Avis? I can’t remember,) John McEnroe was a tennis player. He was very good one, in fact. His rivalry with Bjorn Borg is one of the best in the history of sports. It all came to a head 30 years ago, in the finals of the US Open. Author Stephen Tignor is taking on the rivalry in his new book, “High Strung,” which hits stores this week.
