Bill Clinton not hip to South Florida's own Florida Panthers.

​The New York Rangers haven't been a hip hockey team since Bill Clinton was president.

That said, his appearance last night at Madison Square Garden to watch the Rangers take on the Florida Panthers actually makes sense.

The Rangers are on a hot streak right now, and beating the Panthers last night 3-2 in overtime gave them the highest point total in the NHL.

That's Reggie Jackson on the left, the guy who's supposed to win you the game. And then the other guy, yeah, that's Bucky.

​Growing up in southern New Hampshire as I did, kids knew there was one way to curse around parents and teachers. You put Bucky before the four-letter word and then Dent afterward. As in, Bucky F-ing Dent. As in the Yankees shortstop who seemed to draw upon the powers of the indian burial ground below Fenway.

But here's the thing about Bucky Bleeping Dent (if you were polite). He's a hell of a guy. Nicest guy you'll talk to today if you go see him at the Seminole Casino Coconut Creek, where he's appearing tonight as part of a charity event.

And that's really too bad. Because everything in my upbringing tells me that Dent ought to be regarded as baseball's biggest villain, on par with the Black Sox and Pete Rose and

Darren Heitner

​In September, Joshua Kusnick -- the son of convicted Scott Rothstein associate Howard Kusnick -- sued local attorney and sports agency owner Darren Heitner, claiming he made libelous comments on his blog about Joshua Kusnick's sports agency and the elder Kusnick's role in the company.

Now, Heitner says that lawsuit has been dismissed, and now there's a complaint going the other way.

In January 2010, attorneys representing Joshua Kusnick's sports agency -- Double Diamond Sports Management -- started writing letters to Heitner, accusing him of making "blatantly libelous" statements about the Kusnicks and the agency on his blog, sportsagentblog.com.

Is it fourth down yet? We gotta punt this friggin' thing.

​There are three things Tony Sparano is really good at -- chewing gum, wearing a mustache, and sending in the field-goal unit.

Apparently none of those helps the Miami Dolphins win football games, so he's out at head coach.

Assistant head coach/secondary coach Todd Bowles was named as the interim head coach at a news conference this afternoon.

Carl Pelini

​Carl Pelini -- the former defensive coordinator and defensive line coach at Nebraska -- is officially the new head coach of the Florida Atlantic University Owls.

Replacing the retiring Howard Schnellenberger, Pelini signed a five-year contract that starts with a $450,000 base salary.

Pelini becomes the second coach in the history of FAU football, since Schnellenberger was at the helm since the team was founded as an NCAA Division I-AA squad in 2001.

Austin Stock, in his days before the transfer and the resulting headlines.

​A cub reporter at the Sun-Sentinel landed a major headline back in mid-November. Writer Dieter Kurtenbach claimed he had uncovered documents and found sources that showed a star high school quarterback may have transferred schools in violation of state policies.

His big story landed on the Sentinel's homepage November 17 and as a front-page story in the print edition. It began with an ominous paragraph: "A nationally recognized high school football team's championship may be jeopardized by questions about the transfer of their star quarterback."

The story claimed Austin Stock transferred from Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Coral Springs to powerhouse Miami Central without actually moving to Central's territory. That could, under certain circumstances, violate rules that keep athletes from transferring just to get on better teams. It could jeopardize Stock's chances at a college scholarship and at Central's chances of repeating as state champs.

But things haven't gone well for Kurtenbach since his big story. Investigations into the More >>

Too soon?

​After ten straight failed attempts at winning a football game (13 if you include last season), the Florida Atlantic University Owls finally figured out how to score more points than the other team.

FAU, the only team in the NCAA Football Bowl Subdivision that went into this weekend without a win, beat the University of Alabama-Birmingham Blazers 38-35 at FAU Stadium on Saturday.

The reason for that victory: probably FAU senior running back Alfred Morris.

​We understand it's been a tough stretch for athletics at Florida Atlantic University over the past few months (like the whole football thing), so we won't blame any Owls fans for getting a little excited on Saturday night.

See, George Mason University's basketball team -- ranked 63rd in the nation in Ken Pomeroy's listing -- traveled to Boca Raton to play the Owls on Saturday night, and FAU ended up winning 80-75 in overtime.

After FAU beat a team situated between Oral Roberts and Northern Iowa in the rankings, some of the fans made an interesting decision -- to rush the court.

​The Florida Atlantic University Owls managed to remain the only team without a win in the NCAA Football Bowl Subdivision after getting steamrolled 34-7 at Troy this weekend.

Today is the 374th day since FAU last won a game, beating the Ragin' Cajuns of the University at Louisiana at Lafayette by a point last November.

However, we bring some good news.

​The Florida Atlantic University Owls are now the worst team in college football, as FAU remains the only team without a win in the NCAA Football Bowl Subdivision.

The New Mexico Lobos were consistently rated as worse than FAU, but after a 21-14 win over UNLV on Saturday, FAU takes over the top spot in ESPN's "Bottom 10."

FAU tacked on another loss last weekend, with a 41-7 trouncing courtesy of FIU.
