Ducks 2, Avalanche 1, OT - Even in a loss, Colorado's Peter Budaj proved why the goalie is the most important player in hockey. He made 36 saves to keep the Avs in the game, while his teammates managed just three shots in the third period and none in overtime. The final shots-on-goal margin was 38-12, so the scoreboard could have been a lot worse for Colorado. Anaheim showed a major improvement over their 16......

On Tuesday, the American -ists will be celebrating democracy and hitting the polls, letting politicians know what they really think. It just made us wonder: if it were up to the -ist-a-verse, what would we be voting for? Londonist votes for better skincare, alternative spaces for art, cute little birds and the men who keep them, and concrete. Lots of concrete. Shanghaiist votes for one of the Bee Gees and Air Supply (it's a double-ticket),......

improvident \im-PROV-uh-duhnt; -dent\, adjective: Lacking foresight or forethought; not foreseeing or providing for the future; negligent or thoughtless. As in: Terrell Owens alleged suicide attempt could be seen by some as another attempt at humanizing this otherwise arrogant and improvident man. Wow, LAist lives to use a word of the day in a sentence and it's just uncanny with the revelation today that poor, poor TO might have tried to off himself last night.......

But LAist would like to take this opportunity to intervene and suggest the perfect solution to his dilemma......

NBC4 reports today that ABC has issued an apology for their steamy pre-game intro to its "Monday Night Football" broadcast that featured some of the actresses from "Desperate Housewives." The intro, featured actress Nicollette Sheridan, wearing only a towel and pleading with Philadelphia Eagles player Terrell Owens to skip the game against the Dallas Cowboys to, instead, spend some quality time with her, and her towel. Both the NFL and viewers were quick to......
