Weekend Hot Clicks: Welcome to playoff season; Happy birthday, Emma Watson!
Crystal Ball: Who will win the 2017 NBA Finals? The NBA Power Rankings Playoff Edition and five players facing most pressure this postseason. And in the hockey world, a pair of Canadian teams got huge Game 2 wins on Friday night and the Blue Jackets' Matt Calvert delivered a brutal cheap shot against the Pens.
70 years ago today, #42 made his debut. A look back at a timeline of the all-time great's best moments, achievements and plays. And, seven decades after Robinson broke the color barrier, MLB is still facing a problem with African American participation at youth levels.
While Robinson's debut is a great landmark, April 15th also is an unfortunately monumental day in history: Abraham Lincoln also died after being shot the night before, the Titantic sunk in wee hours of April 15, 1912 and the Boston Marathon was bombed.
Of all the things I'd do or say to a ref if I had an anger problem, pinching his butt would likely not high on the list. The head of a Tunisian soccer club kissed a referee on the cheek, bit his ear and pinched his butt ... TWICE. He got a lifetime ban.
Happy birthday, Emma Watson! The actress and activist is 27 years old today. (Click for full-sized gallery).
Of course P.J. Fleck held an Easter egg hunt (the Elite Egg Extravaganza), during which he awarded a scholarship to a walk-on.
An English soccer club didn't do any butt-pinching or ear-biting, but they did get pumped for their match by singing R. Kelly.
