The 5 Things You Need to Know Before You Go

The United States Patent and Trademark Office cancelled six of the Redskins' trademarks because it considers the team's name disparaging to Native Americans.

Does this mean that the Redskins legally have to change their name? No.
Does this mean that the Redskins will eventually legally have to change their name? No.

Number of No Hitters pitched all time = 284

Number of Perfect Games pitched all time = 23

See how huge that would have been for our boy Clayton? Whomp Whomp.

There is an 11 year old competing in the LPGA's US Open this weekend. Eleven, I said. At age eleven I was struggling to keep my Tamagotchi pet alive and trying to track down all 10 of the Happy Meal Beanie Babies. I wonder how many cartwheels she's done on the back nine?
