NHL Network: No lockout coverage?
The NHL and NHLPA have reached a deal on the framework of a new collective bargaining agreement. In summary, the agreement will pave the way for an abbreviated 48-game or 50-game season that will salvage the 2012-13 campaign. The news of the deal spread like wildfire online Sunday morning with news outlets, bloggers and fans on Twitter discussing and analyzing the deal and what lies ahead as soon as the story broke in the wee hours of the morning. Except NHL Network. If you flipped on NHL Network hoping to be filled in on the news of the tentative bargaining agreement or news on the shortened season, you were met with replays of the World Junior Championship. Leave it to NHL Network to miss out on covering the biggest NHL story of the year. NHL Network still hasn't provided a single second of live coverage on the lockout news. This is laughable. ?

Once a strength, the Steelers Wide Receivers now a question mark?
Before we dive into that question, we should look back a couple of years first, just to set the stage if you will. Going into the 2010 season there were question marks surrounding the Steelers receivers. Hines Ward was aging, Santonio Holmes was gone, and Mike Wallace; who had a solid rookie year in 2009 but still you wondered how he would respond in his sophomore year. Antwaan Randle El?s best years were behind him, and two unknowns were just drafted in Antonio Brown (6th round) and Emmanuel Sanders (3rd round). Things were sketchy at best but there were hopes for optimism with young talent in the fold. Wallace finished 2010 with 60 catches for 1,257 yds and 10 touchdowns. Antonio Brown finished with just 16 catches but made his mark as a returner; 17 kick off returns for 397 yds and 1 TD to go along with 19 punt returns for 197 yds. His circus catches late in the year especially made you think there was more to this kid than just a dynamic returner. Emmanuel Sanders had 28 catches...

Bucknell announcer loses it on routine layup
The above clip comes to us from an early season college basketball game between Dartmouth and Bucknell in late November. �Under normal circumstances, this wouldn't be of any significant note, but just listen to how the Bucknell announcer describes a routine lay in by former Patriot League player of the year Mike Muscala early in the second half. �Listen... then slowly back away from the computer and run for safety.
Williams sisters play ping-pong in iPhone ad
On New Year's Day, Apple released a new iPhone 5 commercial starring tennis pros Venus and Serena Williams to promote the phone's Do Not Disturb setting. In the ad, the narrator dreams that he's beating the Williams sisters in a ping-pong match. Ironically, users were reporting glitches with the Do Not Disturb setting as the new year began. Talk about bad timing. Video via Apple. H/T BI. Visit us at holdoutsports.com and follow us on Twitter @HoldoutSports.
Stubbornness killed Shanahan, RG3 and eventually the Redskins
Forget the 2012 NFL playoffs, Robert Griffin III is the future of the Washington Redskins, or do they�understand�that?�It seems that Mike�Shanahan may need to put into perspective what exactly the Redskins gave up during the 2012 NFL draft to�acquire�RG3.�For a second time, in the Wild Card game against the�Seahawks�the Redskins faithful watched as�RG3�walked back to the training room after tweaking his knee. It took until he laid helplessly on the ground and hobbled off the field until something was finally done about it.? Read more
Henry pays tribute to school victims
He will wear his emotions not on his sleeve, but on his hat.
S.H.E.S.
Emblazoned in a position usually reserved for sponsorship reasons, the letters will be with J.J. Henry as he plays the season opener, the Hyundai Tournament of Champions. "A couple people have asked, and a lot of people have already figured it out," Henry said.
Sandy Hook Elementary School.
The sheer horror still makes you shudder.
"Whether you come from the area or not, just the devastation and the unthinkable that happened ...," Henry said.
But here's the thing. Henry is from the area. He grew up in Fairfield, Conn., about 20 miles from Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown. When the massacre occurred Dec. 14, he was like nearly every other person who heard the news. He was frozen with fear. Twenty young children and six teachers and administrators gunned down.
"It's almost too hard to talk about," he said.
But it's something that needs to addressed. More to the point, the families need
