Pay attention to international athletics enough and you start to realize that, hey, maybe there are more violent sports out there than football. Case-in-point: this über-violent rugby hit, courtesy of a bunch of New Zealand high school kids. To really, truly appreciate what happened, make sure you turn the volume all the way up. That loud thwack? Bone-on-bone, no shoulder pads to speak of. Keep that in the back of your head next time you see a big hit during a NFL Sunday. H/T: [...]

Some really strange news broke Tuesday afternoon when it was confirmed that Patriots tight end Aaron Hernandez was questioned this week as part of an ongoing homicide investigation in Attleboro, Massachusetts. Sources tell  Sports Illustrated  that State Police questioned Hernandez on Tuesday, but the 23-year old Connecticut native is not being considered a suspect in the investigation at this time. Police were reportedly interested in talking to Hernandez because a vehicle that may potentially be involved with the crime was registered in the tight end's name. According to CBS Boston , On Monday, a  [...]

We've featured a few of the CBC's "Hockey Night In Canada" intro videos on the site throughout the course of these playoffs but this one has to be the best so far. It features highlights from Games 1 & 2 set to the tune of Neil Young's "Hey Hey, My My" and is one of the best intros to a sporting event I can remember seeing in a long time. Goosebumps. Goosebumps everywhere. The post Hockey Night In Canada's Game 3 intro video was incredible appeared [...]

So pictures of Bron Bron's new shoes were leaked today and in addition to there being a slight resemblance to my butt hole, the shoes show that Lebron is still the biggest douche among douches. Ugly as all hell, the biggest surprise is something that most people wouldn't even see. On the inside of one sneaker is the bold prediction "2-time champion" and the other shoe states the years "11-12 12-133. Problems with these shoes are as follows: -Lebron is [...]

According to ESPN Los Angeles , the Clippers have once again rejected the Celtics' trade proposal involving Doc Rivers and Kevin Garnett and walked away from the negotiating table, this time possibly for good. The Clips refused the Celtics' offer of Kevin Garnett straight up for DeAndre Jordan and two-first round draft picks for the rights to head coach Doc Rivers. It was rumored yesterday that the two sides were closing on a deal  that involved KG and either Jason Terry or Courtney Lee for Jordan and Caron Butler, but those talks fell apart. [...]

This is a pretty great video showing a Chicago area sports reporter attempting to hand out some Blackhawks playoff towels to Bruins fans around Boston. He's met with the reactions you would pretty much expect from downtown Massholes - disgust, foul language and, yes, even some spit.

Follow @TheNosebleeds Follow @Davis_VanOpdorp What seemed as a dull rivalry earlier in the season has heated up astronomically after the Red Sox flew down to St. Petersburg last week. The little spat between Matt Joyce and John Lackey, which Rays manager Joe Madden stimulated further with his comments on Lackey's professionalism, rekindled the roughness of the Red Sox-Rays rivalry. Whether that event will prompt further tit-for-tat exchanges will be worth watching. The Red Sox have dominated the Rays so far in 2012, only losing to the ball club from the [...]

Follow @TheNosebleeds Follow @Davis_VanOpdorp With the double header on Tuesday, the Red Sox have a lot of additions to the roster. The one big subtraction may be Clay Buchholz, as he might be headed to the disabled list. First Things First: Napoli, Carp Available After sitting out three of the four games in Baltimore due to illness, Mike Napoli is back and better. He is in the lineup for Game 1 of Tuesday's double header against the Tampa Bay Rays, batting in his usual No. 5 spot. The [...]

Chicago Tribune hockey writer Chris Kuc tweeted out this screenshot of the TD Garden wireless networks while covering Game 3 of the Stanley Cup Final. One of these is unlike (and by "unlike" I mean "way funnier than") the rest: To be fair, Patrick Kane is a little bit of a weenie. Stupid mullet. Stupid beard. No SCF goals. The kid is an L...7...weeeeeeenieeee. [ LAF ] The post [...]

NBC has been having some tough luck with their postgame interviews during this year's Stanley Cup Final. First, Andrew Shaw dropped an F-bomb after his Game 1 winner. Then, following Tuukka Rask's Game 3 shutout in Boston, the Bruins goaltender let a curse of his own fly when asked about rebound control. "It's tough because the ice gets so sh**ty towards the end of the period." But, hey, I guess you can get away with that when you've allowed one goal or less in 8 of your last 9 performances. [...]

Daniel Paille netted his second game-winning goal in as many games and Tuukka Rask made 25 saves for his third shutout of the playoffs as the Bruins won 2-0 and took a 2-1 series lead. The Bruins improved to 8-2 at home this postseason while the Blackhawks road struggles continued, falling to 3-5 and losing their fourth Game 3 of the playoffs.  The Bruins defense played spectacularly, killing five power-plays and keeping the Blackhawks chances at bay. Much like Game 2, the home team came out flying in the [...]

The Celtics and Clippers are reportedly close to finalizing a deal that would send forward Kevin Garnett and head coach Doc Rivers to Los Angeles, according to LA Times reporter Brad Turner . With the Celtics' moving past their desire to acquire point guard Eric Bledsoe as a part of the deal, the Clippers would likely send DeAndre Jordan, Caron Butler and his , and a first-round pick to Boston in return. Boston's Jason Terry or Courtney Lee could also be shipped to LA as part of the deal, according to ESPN's [...]

Celtics-Clippers still actively discussing deal involving Garnett, Rivers Follow @TheNosebleeds I t appears that the idea of Doc Rivers remaining the Boston Celtics' head coach beyond this summer is growing increasingly unlikely. After reports stated that trade talks between the Celtics and Clippers involving Rivers and Kevin Garnett had significantly quieted down this weekend, it looks like both teams are still very active in discussing a deal. Celtics and Clippers are still engaging on a Doc Rivers-Kevin Garnett deal and hope remains of finding an agreement, league [...]

It may not be the best looking suit ever, but at least the material is pretty stain resistant. [ @Edubbs08 ] The post Here's a Bruins fan wearing a suit made entirely out of playoff towels appeared first on The Nosebleeds .

It's hard to really compare the 2013 NBA Finals to any other series we've witnessed in recent memory. On one hand, there really hasn't been a favorite, as is evident by the back-and-forth, you-win-one-I-win-one style that the series has gone. On the other, with the exception of Game 1, every game has been decided by the middle of the fourth quarter. How will Game 6 go? It's sink or swim time for the Heat, and they know it. No more excuses, no more speculation surrounding the future of their squad (and their coach); [...]

After getting sentenced to 30 days in jail following an ill-advised courtroom butt slap , former Patriots wide receiver Chad Johnson has been released from prison after just seven days. On Monday, Johnson was brought in once again to face Judge McHugh, the judge who made the decision to deny Johnson a plea deal after he slapped his lawyer on the butt during a probation violation hearing stemming from the domestic violence arrest involving Johnson's then-wife, Evelyn Lozada. According to TMZ , McHugh again "blasted" Johnson for his history of disrespectful behavior and called his alleged [...]

If you thought about it, what is the most cliched saying in all of sports? I'd argue that a team or a person "having someone's number" is probably in the top five. That is all you could hear or read if someone read the papers or listened to sports talk radio in the Boston area. "The Orioles have their number." The sad part about the cliche? It may be true. The Red Sox have a winning record against the teams they have faced this year except for four: The Kansas City Royals (won one out of [...]

Jimmy Kimmel has been doing some great things recently with the NBA and different segments on his show. The latest piece of goodness involves ‘Cousin Sal’ messing with one unlucky fan who wanted to have a simple meet and greet with Rajon Rondo.
