On the NHL's low U.S. audience figures, Chad wrote: "Nielsen no longer releases ratings for NHL games on Versus. It simply lists the names of all viewers on its website."
Donaghy was accused of betting on games, including some that he officiated. When it was speculated he would implicate other referees, Leno said, "He has reportedly hired a Florida attorney who specializes in defending whistleblowers. But aren't all referees whistleblowers?"
A long suspected doper, Jones admitted to cheating. Scott Ostler of the San Francisco Chronicle wrote: "Some likened her to a gazelle, but I'll always picture her as a cheetah."

"This guy may never win a Super Bowl, but he has a great shot at the Breeders' Cup," Leno said about Denver Broncos running back Travis Henry, who fathered nine children by nine women.
Not surprisingly, Cherry defended fighting in hockey. "The fans love the fights. The players love the fights. The people go nuts on the fights. I hate to give NBC heck, and everything, but I'm told the reason they cut it down [the fighting] is because they wanted USA people to watch it - families. Can you believe it? That's the dumbest thing I've heard in my life - U.S., NASCAR, where they're crashing; football, kill the quarterback; Ultimate Fighting. Who's kidding who?"
"Guess I won't be taking the garbage out naked any more," Toronto Maple Leafs tough guy Wade Belak said after naked pictures of rookie teammate Jiri Tlusty were posted online.
When O.J. Simpson was caught breaking into a Las Vegas hotel room, Leno said, "There are a lot of different versions of what happened. Luckily, Patriots coach Bill Belichick was there and videotaped the whole thing."
Cote wrote: "Hockey great Gordie Howe is suing a Michigan neighbour whom he claims is invading his privacy by spying on his activities and constantly photographing his house, which is weird. Who knew Bill Belichick even lived in Michigan?"
