Why You Don't Mess With Coach K

Mic’d Up Coach K Gets Caught Telling Kyrie Irving ‘F*ck You’ For Interrupting Team USA Practice

During his short time at Duke, Kyrie Irving probably learned that it’s not a good idea to mess with Mike Krzyzewski’s practice sessions.

During yesterday’s Team USA practice, Kyrie decided to goof around and interrupted practice while Coach K was attempting to coach the team which led to Krzyzewski telling the Cavs superstar to fuck off.

Thankfully, the NBATV mics were on hand to pick up the hilarious exchange.

2016 Offseason Team Review - Los Angeles Kings

Kings on lookout for more offense 

With Milan Lucic leaving as free agent, Los Angeles must spread scoring

The Los Angeles Kings won the Stanley Cup in 2012 and 2014 and advanced to the Western Conference Final in 2013. But since winning the championship two years ago, they have failed to get past the first round; after failing to qualify for the postseason in 2014-15, the Kings lost to the San Jose Sharks in five games in the first round last season.

The good news for the Kings is they still have Vezina Trophy finalist Jonathan Quick and Selke Trophy winner Anze Kopitar, their new captain, who has led them in scoring nine straight seasons.

Defense rarely is a problem for the Kings, with Norris Trophy winner Drew Doughty leading the way. They allowed the third-fewest goals per game last season but were 14th in the League in goals scored. They won too many games 3-2 or 2-1. They didn't make many moves on offense but are hoping to spread the scoring more this season.

Did They Choose The Right Pair From Your Team? - AL Edition

Picking best Hall of Fame position player/pitcher pair for each AL team

Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim 

• Position Player: Rod Carew, 1B (1979–85)
• Pitcher: Nolan Ryan (1972–79)

For as much of owner Gene Autry’s money that the Angels would spend trying to buy a championship during the early years of free agency, they didn’t pay to keep Ryan. Los Angeles stole Ryan from the Mets in exchange for an over-the-hill Jim Fregosi in December 1971 and watched him develop into a famous fireballer who threw four no-hitters and led the AL in strikeouts seven times in his eight-year tenure, setting a single-season record with 383 whiffs in '73.

As for position players: Someday, Mike Trout could rank as the Angels' signature Hall of Famer, but until then, the spot is occupied by Carew, who spent the last seven seasons of his career in Anaheim. There, he made six All-Star teams and two postseason appearances and collected his 3,000th hit in 1985.

2. San Jose Sharks

• The Stanley Cup finalists are deeper and faster with the addition of speedy winger Mikkel Boedker. If keeper Martin Jones can match his playoff performance, they'll be the favorites to claim the Pacific Division.

9. Anaheim Ducks

• There's lots to like about the defending Pacific champs, but still so many questions to be answered. Randy Carlyle brings a new voice, but is he really an improvement on Bruce Boudreau? Can Cam Fowler be flipped for a top-six left winger? If not, who steps up to fill the role? Nick Ritchie and Mason Raymond won't cut it.

10. Los Angeles Kings

• After the Kings blew a 16-point lead over the Ducks, then bowed out meekly in the first round to the Sharks, there was pressure on GM Dean Lombardi to pump new life into this roster. Instead, cap issues cost L.A. top-six winger Milan Lucic and the best option to patch over the holes on defense was Canadiens castoff Tom Gilbert. That's not going to get it done.

Everything You Need to Know About Geoducks

 
What is a geoduck? 

First off, it's pronounced "gooey duck." Contrary to what one might think, it's not related to a duck at all. The Nisqually — a Native American tribe located in western Washington — coined the term gweduc, meaning "dig deep" and referring to the way this bivalve burrows far below the seafloor. Europeans later reinterpreted the native spelling and pronunciation.

Geoduck is a large clam with simple anatomy. There are two major parts to remember: the siphon or neck, which hangs out of the shell, and the mantle (also called breast), the meaty part that sits inside the shell. Native to the Pacific Northwest and Western Canadian coast, geoducks anchor themselves into the ground with a small "foot," and remain in one spot for their entire lives. Several feet below ground, the massive saltwater clam sucks in seawater, filtering for plankton and precious vitamins, and squirts out the excess through its impressive siphon. Their necks easily stretch from banana to baseball lengths, depending on how comfortably situated they are (they're happiest and longest when they're underground).
