No disrespect to today’s Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series drivers, but most of them don’t come across as brawlers.  As a group, today’s racers are far more physically fit than the drivers of yesteryear, although with few exceptions, they aren’t exactly an intimidating lot. In honor of Sunday’s contretemps between Joey Logano and Kyle Busch following the Kobalt 400 at Las Vegas Moto Speedway, we thought about some…

(Fredrik Olastuen/EPA) When Joakim Jensen finally put the puck in the net, giving the Storhamar Dragons a hard-earned victory over the Sparta Warriors, it would have been entirely understandable if everyone, from the fans to the players to the broadcasters to the refs, had just collapsed, grateful tears as they…

NASCAR is a contact sport, but that usually only involves the cars. That happened Sunday during NASCAR’s Kobalt 400 in Las Vegas when Kyle Busch spun after contact with Joey Logano. After the race, Busch was a man with a plan — to punch Logano in the face. Logano said after the incident that Busch didn’t land a direct blow. “There wasn’t much talking, just a lot of swinging,” Logano…

Look no further than last week’s Minnesota boys’ state high school hockey tournament, where cascading mullets, flowing locks, and attempted mustaches have become a tradition as rich as the hockey itself.  Every year, Edina-born ad exec John King assembles a compilation of the best follicle action at St. Paul’s Xcel Energy Center. The 2017 All-Hockey Hair supercut, currently skating at 120,000-plus views, is destined for viral fame, just like its predecessors. The video isn’t…

GIF via Jeff Gluck Today’s race at Las Vegas Motor Speedway saved all the action for its last lap and of course, after the race. After Joey Logano got loose on the last lap and collided with Kyle Busch, Busch was sent sliding into pit lane. So, Busch went to go “chat” (and by chat, I mean fight) with Logano after the race. Logano was quickly pulled from the center…
