Montreal Canadiens Fans: Racist or Harmless Humour?

Posted: 12th March 2010 by Kyle W. Brown in NHL
You may have seen the picture from last night on a blog such as Deadspin or PuckDaddy. In case not, two Montreal fans dressed up in afros and blackface and went to the Bell Centre to cheer on the Habs, and in particular, talented prospect P.K. Subban. The two donned the outfits, complete with long black sleeves, and wore t-shits that said "Subbinator," complete with a Canadiens logo as they sat in ...

Sidney Crosby Looks To Spoil Ryan Miller’s Homecoming Party

Posted: 1st March 2010 by Kyle W. Brown in NHL
Oh, the irony. The Olympic gold medal hockey game was everything that everyone was hoping for.

Are the Seattle Mariners a legitimate threat? Now I realize that when thinking about who will be American League champions, your brain almost immediately makes your mouth say New York or Boston...unfortunately. But the boys in the rainy city have been slowly putting together a strong team, and could very well see themselves with a playoff birth and a chance to make some noise in the post-season. Now ...

Ron Artest: Hennessy at Halftime? What Gives?

Posted: 2nd December 2009 by Kyle W. Brown in NBA
Ron Artest is new to neither criticism nor controversy.á We all remember what happened at the Palace when he jumped into the stands and began fighting with Detroit Pistons fans. Last week, the Lakers' star showed up on Jimmy Kimmel Live in just his boxers.
