Scott Hartnell is no fan of Jordan Nolan and the LA Kings in their early contest today with Columbus...
The HQ will stipulate that Nolan is a pest. It is something he is very good at...
Like today...
Watch for it...
The HQ suspects there may be a talking-to from Messrs. Pronger and Shanahan for both Nolan and Hartnell.
But, regardless of the numbers, stick swinging is too dangerous at any moment...
Last thing we need is another one is these incidents...

Smoke And The Blue Deuce Visit The Big Red Truck
((HT: NASCAR their own selves/NASCAR on ESPN))
You remember the end of the Charlotte race and all of the associated shenanigans...
Well, if you don't, we'll show you...
And, if that wasn't all, Keselowski did this in the infield garage. The long version was missed by ESPN cameras...
IN THE INFIELD GARAGE!!!
NASCAR came down with their decisions today:
NASCAR has assessed behavioral penalties to drivers Brad Keselowski and Tony Stewart for their involvement in post-race incidents on Oct. 11 at Charlotte Motor Speedway.
Keselowski has been fined $50,000 and placed on NASCAR probation for the next four NASCAR Sprint Cup Series championship events through Nov. 12 for violating:
· Section 12-1: Actions detrimental to stock car racing
· Section 12-4.9: Behavioral penalty – involved in post-race incidents
Stewart has been fined $25,000 and placed on NASCAR probation for the next four NASCAR Sprint Cup Series championship events through Nov. 12 for violating:
· Section 12-1: Actions detrimental to stock car racing
· Section 12-4.9: Behavioral penalty – involved in a post-race incident
“These penalties are about maintaining a safe environment following the race,” said Robin Pemberton, NASCAR senior vice president, competition and racing development. “We knew that the new Chase format was likely going to raise the intensity level and we want our drivers to continue to be themselves. However, the safety of our drivers, crew members, officials, and workers is paramount and we will react when that safety could be compromised.”
"Behavioral penalties..."
Never heard that one before...
Does anyone remember that Kevin Harvick actually won the race...???

When Was The Last Time You Saw This Penalty...???
((HT: BTN))
First, just watch the play in the Eastern Michigan- Michigan State game...
When had you seen that one before today...???
Yep... a long time ago...
Eastern Michigan center Dwayne Brown committed the infraction (so you can attach a name to a face) in the MSU-EMU game where the Spartans win 73-14

"Anchor Down" Almost Gets Vandy A Penalty
((HT: ESPN/SEC Network))
Let's face it...
It was a long night for Vandy football in their Derek Mason debut...
A long lightning delay and torrential rains kept fans out of the stadium, the doors locked, and kickoff pushed back an hour and fifty minutes. Temple took care of business 37-7 and there was even a fat guy TD in the game that ended close to 2AM eastern time.
But the game didn't even start well for the Dores. They had their catch phrase, "Anchor Down," on their backs instead of nicknames- which made for a very cool effect. The refs weren't sold, but they should have left the idea alone.
When was the last time you saw an e-mail shown to an official to wipe out a penalty...???
That was, definintely, a first...
1:30 PM Update:
This from Chuck Dunlap, SEC Director of Communications
"A miscommunication resulted in Vanderbilt wearing jerseys during its football game Thursday night that are not permissible under the NCAA football uniform regulations. Before production of the jerseys, Vanderbilt sought approval of the jersey design from the NCAA, which included the words “Anchor Down” on the back panel. The NCAA responded with written approval of the design as presented and Vanderbilt proceeded with the jersey production, assuming the approval was applicable to the slogan as well as the colors and overall design in the submitted layout."
"NCAA football regulations do not permit the use of slogans on jerseys. Vanderbilt was originally penalized for the jerseys during the game and after being shown the written correspondence, the head referee also interpreted the correspondence to mean the slogan had been approved. Vanderbilt has been notified it cannot wear the slogan on its jersey for future games and has agreed to comply."

So You Can Hit From A Tent, But Not Off Another Green
((HT: PGA Tour/Golf Channel))
You can go all Tin Cup like Phil Mickelson did in Round 2 of The Barclays...
He did bogey the hole by the way...
That you can do...
But Seung-Yul Noh's tee shot on the 11th hole landed on the green of the 3rd hole. He could have taken a free drop, but he didn't know that part of the rule...
He then hit is next shot as a chip shot off the green and was assessed a 2-stroke penalty.
Wonder if anyone else will have any other kinds of adventures for the final two rounds...

Mahan And Donaldson Play Each Others Balls... Which Is Wrong...
((HT: Golf Central Daily/BBC/USGA))
On a few different levels...
And it's a two-stroke penalty on the course...
On their 9th hole of the day (the 18th at Pinehurst No.2), Hunter Mahan played Jaime Donaldson's ball and vice versa. That is a two-stroke penalty for both golfers- regardless of intent- and both guys are having issues trying to make the cut at the US Open
Here's what you do next after you realize it...
Both double-bogeyed the hole...
Here's the rule in the books:
Rule 15-3:
If a competitor makes a stroke or strokes at a wrong ball, he incurs a penalty of two strokes.
The competitor must correct his mistake by playing the correct ball or by proceeding under the Rules. If he fails to correct his mistake before making a stroke on the next teeing ground or, in the case of the last hole of the round, fails to declare his intention to correct his mistake before leaving the putting green, he is disqualified.
Strokes made by a competitor with a wrong ball do not count in his score. If the wrong ball belongs to another competitor, its owner must place a ball on the spot from which the wrong ball was first played.
Exception: There is no penalty if a competitor makes a stroke at a wrong ball that is moving in water in a water hazard. Any strokes made at a wrong ball moving in water in a water hazard do not count in the competitor’s score.

Coach Q Did Not Like Your Call, Sir...
((HT: Josh Gold-Smith's Vine, NHL on NBC))
The Blackhawks-Blues game went into multiple overtimes and ended after midnight eastern time this morning...
At a key moment in the second overtime, Chicago head coach Joel Quenneville wanted a delay of game call for a puck that cleared the boards and went into the crowd...
He didn't get the call- which brought this display...
No word on whether Q-Stache should get a call from New York or Toronto over this. But the HQ hopes that the move just gets credited to the heat of battle...

OSG Prem: Hull City's Bruce Probably Is Getting Fined Again...
((HT: BPL))
Hull City manager Steve Bruce thinks he got jobbed in his 1-0 loss to Crystal Palace...
On two occasions, Bruce thought Hull should have been awarded two PK's and brings up an interesting point about holding referees accountable in the media...
Don't think it'll happen, but it's an interesting point...
Allan McGregor's nutty at the end by Hull City gave them a red and a trim to 10 men...
Interesting to see what happens to the keeper there as well...

Longhorns Davis Should Be Suspended
((HT: PlannedSickDays via Vine))
But he won't because there wasn't any kind of "targeting" attached to it...
This was on a touchdown by Joe Bergeron that gave Texas a 24-20 lead late in the third quarter in their dogfight in Ames with Iowa State...
So, what do you think...
"Cheap shot" is a good start...

Tiger Gets 2-Stroke Penalty, Furyk Shoots 59
((HT: Golf Channel))
It was an interesting day at the BMW Championship...
Jim Furyk joined the list of the immortals with a not-so-mythical 59...
Furyk's 59 was the first on tour since Stuart Appleby in the final round of The Greenbrier Classic in 2010. The others who scored 59 were Al Geiberger in the 1977 Memphis Classic; Chip Beck in the 1991 Las Vegas Invitational; David Duval in the 1999 Bob Hope Classic; and Paul Goydos in the 2010 John Deere Classic.
"There's not much I could have improved on today," Furyk said.
Check it out...the HQ agrees...
((HT: PGA Tour))
But Tiger Woods had the weekly phone in from a viewer that cost him...
Evidence Below...
Obviously, Woods thought the ball oscillated and didn't move...
And also, obviously, he didn't hang around for questions...

OSG Prem: Mourinho Chases Lambert In Postgame
((HT: BPL/NBCSN))
The Villa-Chelsea match will be more known for a couple of events on the pitch than anything else...
Should Ivanovic have been given a red card for his elbowing of Benteke for the challenge in the air...???
Should Villa have been given a stoppage time PK for a John Terry hand ball in the box...???
Answers are, probably, yes and yes...
Either way... Villa comes away from their first two matches with three points instead of four and Jose Mourinho decided to do some verbal jousting on his counterpart, Paul Lambert, in the postgame interview...

And We're Off: Sturridge Nets First Prem Goal Of 2013, Mignolet Comes Up Huge In Debut
((HT: BPL/Canal+))
Daniel Sturridge is the answer to your trivia question... as he opened the scoring of the 2013/14 Premier League season as Liverpool took on Stoke and their pesky defensive-minded soccer.
Iago Aspas found Sturridge on a pass across the outside of the box before Sturridge's shot went through the legs of Robert Huth and found the far post beating Asmir Begovic for the goal.
Liverpool's hearts were almost broken in the 88th minute at Anfield as Daniel Agger was called for a hand ball in the box. But Jonathan Walters penalty kick attempt was saved by Simon Mignolet- as was the follow- to preserve the shut out.
Here's the first of the firsts of this season in the 1-0 win...
And the HQ wonders if new Stoke manager Mark Hughes still thinks his squad stinks...

Everyone knows what the nation of Haiti has gone through this last few years, and the FHF was able to have a team qualify for the Gold Cup and had a chance to make it into the semi-finals...
But... and this is a big "But" in the game against El Salvador...

The HQ knows that there's a great deal of (what's the word) "acting..." "embellishing..."

((HT: Sky Sports))
Take you to the nPower Championships playoffs... Watford and Leicester City...
Anthony Knockaert has a penalty to ensure that his team makes it to the final at Wembley...
But... and this is the biggest of buts...
Troy Deeney's header sends them to the finals and the HQ wonders if Watford manager Gianfranco Zola has, in fact, recovered...
"I can't imagine a worse way to lose," Leicester manager Nigel Pearson said afterwards. "When you get a penalty you just hope he scores it - then what happened after that compounds the misery.
"Anthony is distraught as you would expect. I'm the first to admit it was a generous penalty decision. But to concede off the resulting penalty save is very hard to take.
"Unfortunately that's the nature of the beast."
Sky Sports gets all the credit in the world for the headline: "Knockaert Blow"
And Sky Sports News has this awesome program called "Soccer Saturday" which has a whip-around of all the action from all the games in all of the classifications as soon as they kick off...

DEVELOPING: Could Kenseth Win Be Blown Out...??? (UPDATE: The Boom Got Lowered And Kenseth Isn't Happy)
((HT: ESPN/Newton))
Remember how NASCAR said that they weren't going to tolerate any shenanigans when it came to any kind of tampering with the Gen 6 car...???
David Newton, while admittedly going on "sources," is saying that the Kenseth car that did this...
((HT: Fox Sports))
...is currently being evaluated...
The engine was brought back to NASCAR's Research and Development Center after passing the first inspection, failed the deeper inspection. The AP is saying the engine failed because one of the connecting rods did not meet the minimum weight requirement...
Well, then...
It's not the first time that NASCAR would be dropping the points hammer. Two weeks ago, Brad Keselowski and Joey Logano got docked 25 points for their alleged monkeying with the rear housing- a major no-no with the Gen 6
PM UPDATE: Kenseth loses 50 points, is fined $200,000, his crew chief was suspended six races, he loses his three bonus points for his pole, and his pole was wiped out.
"JGR is not involved in the process of selecting parts or assembling the Cup Series engines," Toyota Racing Development President Lee White said in the statement. "It was a simple oversight on TRD's part and there was no intent to deceive, or to gain any type of competitive advantage.
"Toyota is a company that was built on integrity, and that remains one of the guiding principles of the company," White added. "The goal of TRD has always been -- and will continue to be -- to build high-performance engines that are reliable, durable and powerful, and within the guidelines established by NASCAR."
The part in question was three grams under minimum weight...
THURSDAY UPDATE: Kenseth talked about the whole thing and he was less than pleased...

DEVELOPING: Tiger Penalized Two Strokes For Saturday...Updated
Well, there's the start for your Saturday in Augusta...
Here's what started the furor...
((HT: ESPN/Augusta National Golf Club))
After the round, Tiger admitted the following...
"I went back to where I played it from, but I went 2 yards further back and I took, tried to take 2 yards off the shot of what I felt I hit," Woods said.
Woods signed for a 1-under-par 71, which included the 6 on 15. With a two-stroke penalty now added, it's now an 8 on 15 and a 73 on Friday. He will be at 1 under par overall, and five shots out of the lead.
Now, he'll be just mad...the issue with his drop was whether or not he was dropping "as nearly as possible" to the spot where the shot was last played- violating Rule 26-1.
Reaction has been all over the board...
@danjenkinsgd In other news, everyone gets a mulligan off the first and 10th tees and one free throw from trouble on each nine
Jason Sobel @JasonSobelGC
New TV rule is meant for situation such as when ball moves and player doesn't see it. Player ignorance toward rules does not apply here.
Sir Nick Faldo also disagrees. Tiger "breached the rules. Simple as that."
And... discuss...
**NoonUpdate from Tiger his ownself** (or whomever does his Twitter feed):
I didn’t know I had taken an incorrect drop prior to signing my scorecard. Subsequently, I met with the Masters Committee Saturday morning..
and was advised they had reviewed the incident prior to the completion of my round. Their initial determination...
was that there was no violation, but they had additional concerns based on my post-round interview. After discussing the situation...
...with them this morning, I was assessed a two-shot penalty. I understand and accept the penalty and respect the Committees’ decision.
