Newly signed Colts quarterback, the formerly retired Philip Rivers, spells his first name with just one "L" and two "P's." I'm guessing during games he's going to need several pees.

I’ll concede Canadian Toronto Raptors star RJ Barrett is an outstanding basketball player. That said, what kind of goof goes by the name RJ?

According to the Huffpost, Moscow police recently were searching for a man seen viewing paintings in Tretyakov Gallery without any clothes on. Remind me not to go there to see what’s hanging.

In the 2009 draft, the Blue Jays chose Chad Jenkins 20th, passing up on Mike Trout who went 26th. That's right, Trout — talk about the one that got away!

Yesterday was American Thanksgiving. Giving the most thanks were fans of the Cincinnati Bengals — for finally getting Joe Burrow back at quarterback.

Three things I'm thankful for on American Thanksgiving:

3. I am not a Tennessee Titans fan;

2. I am not a Toronto Maple Leafs fan;

1. I am not a turkey.

A Copenhagen waste-treatment facility with an 85-metre-high sloped roof has turned trash into a summer ski slope. It's a great way to pad your stats — every minute is garbage time.

Today in the women's draw at the Canadian CurlingTrials: Brown vs. Black. For this one, I always favour Black — it's more slimming.
