I’m not a hockey nut, but the top three are pretty amazing.

There must have been something wrong with that rim, right? I mean, if a normal rim can hold up to a Shaq dunk, why couldn’t this one hold up to Gallon’s?
Here’s an excerpt from a nice piece by Kelly Dwyer over at Ball Don’t Lie…
Worm your way into your second gun-related hassle of your professional career? Passable, to a certain extent. Most people Gilbert’s age (or, really, half his age) would understand that even bringing four unloaded weapons into the workplace is a no-no of the highest order, but Gilbert’s a professional athlete.
Even though he grew up broke, even though he’s less than a decade removed from remembering “what it was like,” he’s still a professional athlete.
And professional athletes, as has been proven time and again, year after year, just have no idea how life actually works. It’s not a basketball thing, or an African-American thing, or even an American thing. Follow the Sunday papers for the latest on the various soccer ball-kicking types overseas, if you don’t believe me. Or even the international rulers of open-wheel driving organizations.
Living in a bubble. That’s what it’s called. Some of our politicians live in a bubble. Our movie stars live in a bubble. And our athletes live in a bubble.
Only in a bubble does it seem okay to take four unloaded weapons to work. Common sense would tell most people that this is not a good idea, but common sense has a tough time surviving in a bubble. The aforementioned people only interact with a select few, and most of those lucky folks are living in their own bubbles.
Common sense can’t penetrate this much bubble.
The NBA has suspended Gilbert Arenas indefinitely, per ESPN.
NBA commissioner David Stern has indefinitely suspended Gilbert Arenas, saying the Washington Wizards guard is “not currently fit to take the court” for a game.
A day after the former All-Star was photographed before a game in Philadelphia pointing his index fingers, as if they were guns, at his teammates, Stern warned in a statement on Wednesday that Arenas’ conduct will “ultimately result in a substantial suspension, and perhaps worse.”
Because Arenas violated NBA rules by bringing guns into Washington’s locker room, Stern decided to punish Arenas now. He said the suspension begins immediately.
“Although it is clear that the actions of Mr. Arenas will ultimately result in a substantial suspension, and perhaps worse, his ongoing conduct has led me to conclude that he is not currently fit to take the court in an NBA game,” Stern said in the statement. “Accordingly, I am suspending Mr. Arenas indefinitely, without pay, effective immediately pending the completion of the investigation by the NBA.”
It was only a matter of time before he was suspended. Stern was going to wait until the investigation was complete, but with Arenas running around making a mockery of his situation, the NBA had to act.

The Arizona Republic is reporting that Anquan Boldin has a sprained left MCL, as well as a high left ankle sprain.
Receiver Anquan Boldin — He told me he has a high left ankle sprain and a sprained left medial collateral ligament. He worked with a trainer during practice but it’s questionable if he’ll play Sunday against the Packers.
Even though the Arizona Republic reports that it’s “questionable” that he’ll play, sprains of that nature can take players weeks to recover from. That said, Boldin is extremely tough and will likely suit up. Unfortunately for the Cardinals, even if he does play, he probably won’t be close to 100%.
This bodes well for a hot Packers team that already matches up well with Arizona’s passing attack.
