Kids on a 10 & under New Jersey hockey team have been suspended by the team’s owner after the moms of the team made their own custom gear without paying the owner his royalty. 👀👀👀 https://t.co/kV6htBNyoo

The issue here gets cloudy from a legal standpoint. The owner actually does not own “Hitmen” alone. He owns “New Jersey Hitmen” and the logo. Hitmen alone is trademarked by former wrestler Bret Hart. https://t.co/E0vO7aZBss

(From the reporting, the jacket seemed to use the generic name Hitmen and logo, and not the tacky mafioso logo)The suspension of the 10-year-old hockey players due to their mothers making unlicensed team gear is apparently over.

NEW STORY: It's been historically downpouring ever since the Celtics got to Charleston for training camp. Joe Mazzulla challenged his team not to skip their golf plans. “He said you got to prove how much you love something. If you don’t play in the rain, you don’t physically love it — and I’m about to see how many guys on this team truly love what they do.” https://t.co/phjsXD6U1R

Really pleased to finally say that Chris Remo and I were the lead writers on Star Wars: Galactic Racer. The team at Fuse are the absolute best in their field, and it really shows. It was a great project to work on and is an even better game to play. Sebulba forever

The International Taco Bell 50k Ultramarathon is this weekend
It has been described as Urban Legend. More mysterious and barking spiders than the Barkley Marathons. The International Taco Bell 50k boasts a higher DNF rate than the famed Leadville 100 Trail Race.
Some of the rules:
Be present at all 10 Taco Bell stops along the courses.
Eat a menu item from at least 9 of the 10 Taco Bell stops.
By the 4th stop, all entrants must have consumed at least one (1) Chalupa Supreme or one Crunchwrap Supreme (dietary restrictions will be allowed within reason).
By the 8th stop, all entrants must have consumed at least one (1) Burrito Supreme or one Nachos Bell Grande (dietary restrictions will be allowed within reason).
Finish under 11 hours.
SURVIVORS will eventually get a commemorative item after successful completion of the run.

The Habit (I like their Cobb) has various Dodger-related promotions including discounts when the team turns a double play at home, and lately have been featuring Vesia-inspired menu items. I guess I'm glad the bobbleheads aren't being given away at my local shop so I'm not tempted into wasting the day:
