As of today, a petition on the White House website calling for Justin Bieber’s deportation back to Canada has over 103,000 signatures. (100,000 is the number required for Obama to consider petitions.) Who says there’s no bipartisan agreement in this country?

Gregg Williams was originally hired at St. Louis, but never coached when he was suspended for his role in the Saints bounty scandal. Now the Rams have hired him again as defensive coordinator. Proving once again in the NFL, that most sins are easier to forgive than the sin of losing.

Despite sub-freezing temperatures. The New York Rangers looked good in sweeping the two outdoor NHL games at Yankee Stadium this week., Maybe the Knicks will offer to set up an outdoor court in the Bronx next?
