Ah, that warm feeling of schadenfreude.

No players were elected to the National Baseball Hall of Fame this year in a polarizing vote that reopened the wounds of the steroid era.

The first question I had when I heard this was: are they going to even have a ceremony, if nobody was elected? Answer:

For the first time since 1960, the Hall of Fame — located in Cooperstown, N.Y. — will host a ceremony with no living inductees. The July 28 ceremony will honor the three inductees selected by a committee on baseball’s pre-integration era, but all of those inductees have been dead for at least 74 years.

The Toronto Maple Leafs have fired their general manager, Brian Burke. The Maple Leafs, as I understand it, play an obscure sport known as “hockey” which is popular in Canada.
