Rangers closer Joe Nathan, a huge New York Giants fan, bet teammate (and Cowboys fan) Mike Adams that the defending Super Bowl champs would have no trouble taking down Dallas in their opening week matchup. The loser agreed to wear the other team's uniform (helmet, pads and everything) on the field before a game this week. Nathan is a man of his word, as the photo above demonstrates. Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers, on the other hand, isn't the best sport when it comes to lost wagers.

Busy day in hockey yesterday. The Bruins signed Tyler Seguin to a six-year, $34 million contract extension; Chicago agreed to a one-year deal with veteran defenseman Michal Rozsival, and the ECHL's Bakersfield Condors offered a contract to Justin Bieber. That's right, Justin Bieber. The team's coach has seen the Canadian-born popstar on film and thinks he has some natural hockey skills. So will Bieber give up a lucrative music career to ride the buses of minor league hockey? Stay tuned.

Skip Bayless has earned a reputation as one of the most annoying controversial blowhards analysts on television. Just ask Kevin Durant, who took issue with Bayless' claims that he is "owned by LeBron James" because the two are working out together.

Bayless vs. Durant

Durant wasn't the only one upset with something on ESPN yesterday. Maple Leafs GM Brian Burke took issue with the Worldwide Leader placing Toronto at the very bottom of its Ultimate Fan Rankings. Said Burke: "ESPN's hockey coverage stinks. I don't think they know anything about Canada. I don't think they know anything about hockey."

Whether you like Ray Lewis or not, you can't argue about him being a powerful public speaker. This was evident on Tuesday, when he delivered this sermon at Art Modell's funeral.

Eulogy Of The Day

Cubs first baseman Anthony Rizzo collides with Astros first baseman Brett Wallace while trying to leg out an infield single. Safe to say, Rizzo took the worst of the collision.
