One doesn't have a lengthy hockey career just by mistake. It takes skill and, sometimes, a little cheating.

The Indianapolis Colts beat the New York Giants 40-24 on ESPN's "Monday Night Football" at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, N.J. But the NFL football game took a back seat to something that happened with about 11 minutes left in the fourth quarter...

On Thursday night, Vincent Stover, an autistic player on the Mountain Ridge High School football team near Phoenix, entered the game against late against North Canyon. On his first play, he was tackled pretty hard an excessively by an opposing player. That's all it took for retaliation to happen and both benches to clear.

Free Beer is once again calling college football games for Compass Media Networks this season. This past weekend, he was in Happy Valley calling the Penn State-Maryland game. At the beginning of the second quarter, Penn State QB Christian Hackenberg dropped back to pass and started to scramble. He managed to get the ball away, but not to the intended receiver.

On Friday, New England Patriots Head Coach Bill Belichick was a guest on ESPN's "Mike & Mike" radio show with co-hosts Mike Greenberg and Mike Golic. Since it was Halloween, both hosts were in costume.

Recently, legendary NBA Hall of Famer Michael Jordan sat down with the Back 9 Network to talk golf. When asked by host Ahmad Rashad about who would be included in his ideal foursome, Jordan didn't really hesitate when he said: "I never played with (President Barack) Obama, but I would." But then, well.

Hockey is an intense sport. Post-game hockey interviews with coaches can be even more intense, as proven by Paul Fixter, head coach of the Ontario Hockey League's Sudbury Wolves.

During a recent interview between Fox Sports' Allie Clifton and the Cleveland Cavaliers' Tristan Thompson, Thompson did something very unexpected. After being interviewed, he made an awkward wink to the camera. However, it's what the NBA player did next that is really strange.

Hockey fans are a special breed. Near or far, they always seem to bring out the quirks when in an arena.

Postgame interviews aren't easy to do, but that doesn't make them any less miserable to listen to.
