So...can the NFL fine them now?

If you saw the end of yesterday's Texas/Arizona NCAA basketball game, you saw Texas get called for a five second violation in the closing minute of the game. Arizona took possession, and took the lead...and won the game. The CBS/TNT crew in New York timed it themselves and found that Texas did have the five seconds, even if the referee bungled the call. Haven't we heard this story before? You bet. Instant karma gonna get you...

....again. Ha.

Alexander Ovechkin was ejected from yet another game for yet another dangerous hit. This time he blatantly kneed Carolina D-man Tim Gleason (video here). Fortunately, Ovechkin appears to have blown out his own knee instead of Gleason's. The NHL gets to take a big stance and suspend Ovechkin from games he'll be unhealthy to play in anyhow.

The Toronto Maple Leafs are under investigation for tampering because of comments made by head coach Ron Wilson about the club’s interest in Daniel and Henrik Sedin prior to the free-agent deadline on July 1. It's funny, because as the article itself states: All eyes and ears will be on Daly to see how he rules in this case because last summer Burke, when he was running the Anaheim Ducks, accused then Edmonton Oilers general manager Kevin Lowe of tampering. A year earlier, after sniper Corey Perry re-signed with the Ducks, Lowe remarked in an interview that, "Corey Perry is a hell of a player. What I really want to say about his [Burke’s] bickering about parity and the salary cap is if you’re unhappy about them, then trade him [Perry] our way. We’ll be glad to have him."
