Playoff beards are apparently pretty popular in the NHL. Click the link for a playoff preview that predicates success based on the strength of a team's respective beards. I gotta give it to the Ottawa Senators: "Normally, this would be a slam dunk. He's like a lumberjack version of Ronald McDonald. Commodore proudly wore that fine thing in runs to the Cup final with Calgary in 2004 and Carolina in 2006. In order to get his helmet on, Commodore had to dunk his head into the shower to soak that 'fro down. Unfortunately, Commodore's team situation isn't ideal. The Senators are a injured, splintered group. Odds: 20-1."

Now that the Pennsylvania state-championship basketball tournament is over, Terrelle Pryor can stop pretending like he maybe wants to be a Nittany Lion. (The tournament was held at Penn State.) The nation's top QB recruit is ready to choose... it's gonna either be OSU or Michigan.

"Pryor led his basketball team to a 76-72 overtime win over Strawberry Mansion in the Pennsylvania Class AA title game Saturday."

Is she good? I don't know. Does it matter? Is figure skating even really a sport? Just kidding. Of course figure skating is a sport. So is voyeurism.

Terrelle Pryor hasn't even figured out where he'll play QB next year (probably OSU or Michigan) but someone has already gone to the trouble of creating a customized Terrelle Pryor action figure.

QB Terrelle Pryor is the #1 unsigned college football player in the country. He is a threat both on the ground and through the air... and also reportedly in H.S. basketball gyms.

POLICE: "You're lucky we didn't take your kid (Pryor) in. He threatened to go into the crowd."

The incident occurred after Pryor led his school's basketball team to an OT victory on the road with a hostile crowd. His stats were as gaudy as his threats: 24 points, 21 rebounds, seven blocks and six assists.

On his football short list: Michigan, OSU, PSU and Oregon.

Second-rate ice hockey league folds. Players respond with rampage. "Bar stools were smashed through doors, and virtually every piece of glass in the building had been shattered, the broken shards unavoidable underfoot."

The proposal would "create five new teams in major markets to form a "European" division within the NBA," with teams competing for the league's championship and all the teams having to travel to play games across the Atlantic.

Which European cities would get selected? Five guesses off the top of my head: London, Madrid, Milan, Moscow and Berlin. Maybe Rome instead of Milan.

Stealing is wrong, but so is carrying around a purse that looks more at home as part of a breakfast platter than it does on a woman's arm. Ryan O'Byrne of the Montreal Canadiens was doing her a favor when he stole her purse. Still, he faces five years in jail for the indiscretion.
