Oh, that’s not a thing? Well, someone better let Wrigley Field know.

A Cubs fan doused her husband with a cold one Sunday afternoon in what appeared to be a completely unprovoked act of malice. As the wife explained after the game, however, the suds-dumping was actually in retaliation for the husband accidentally spilling his beer on her earlier in the game.

When the cameras caught the move, though, it looked like something else. The husband had just tried to shield the wife from a home run in the Wrigley Field bleachers, and she appeared to be repaying his chivalry with a lowball move.

Check out the splash — and hear the wife’s explanation — in the video below.

Video of the Day

There’s a circus in Miami, and that’s not an insult about the baseball team!

Hanrahan told ESPN.com he will visit Dr. James Andrews on Friday to get further diagnosis on his injured right elbow, which caused him to leave Monday’s game and land on the disabled list. The injury is being called a flexor muscle strain. Hanrahan said he’s already had some tests and sent them ahead to Andrews, with the early thought — that the injury wasn’t as bad as it could be — being weighed against the possibility that it could be worse.

“Doesn’t look good,” Hanrahan told ESPN.com. “Leave it up to the experts. See what they say. Let them put their heads together and go from there.”

Hanrahan was initially optimistic after an MRI showed that no ligaments had been damaged, which could have meant Tommy John surgery.

“I think in the long run we dodged a bullet,” Hanrahan said at that point.

Now, though, the concern is that other damage may have been done. The inside of Hanrahan’s elbow is “bruised and badly discolored,” which sets this tweak apart from elbow injuries he’s had in the past. He missed 10 games in 2009 with elbow soreness then had a strain in spring training of the following year that led him to miss the first six games of that season.

Hanrahan has had few appearances for the Red Sox since signing a one-year, $7 million deal in the offseason to avoid arbitration after being traded from the Pirates. Looking at the injury this week, he alluded to the possibility of serious, long-term damage.

“If it is bad, I’m still 31,” he told ESPN.com. “My personal setup will be all right. On the [bad] side, I’ve been here, and I haven’t been able to do anything I want to, to show anybody who I really am. So that part will stink if something bad happens.”

Red Sox manager Ben Cherington told ESPN.com that the team is still collecting information on the extent of Hanrahan’s injury and that decisions about rest or surgery will be made after that.

Hanrahan has already spent time the disabled list this year on after injuring his hamstring.

In the commercial, Woods and McIlroy one-up each other from the course, plunking shots into all kinds of cups and glasses.

Woods did one better Thursday. Jay Busbee of Yahoo! Sports tweeted that Woods actually dropped a shot into someone’s drink at The Masters. Judging from the time of his tweet, it must have been before Woods teed off for the real competition, but that’s still pretty impressive.

Check out the breathtaking report in the tweet below.

Tiger Woods put a shot into some dude's beer. Were it any other major, that would've been a mortgage payment's worth of beer spilled.

And, as Busbee notes, the victuals at The Masters are reasonably priced.

It’s only spring, but is the mountain still the preferred destination over the beach? Well, you decide.

In this week’s edition of the SnoCountry report, Halley O’Brien checks in from Jay Peak in Vermont. So, if you’re thinking about spending your St. Patrick’s Day weekend hitting the slopes, check out the local mountain conditions in the video above.

If you ever head out west, Crested Butte in Colorado is a picturesque snow setting. However, if you’re sticking around the local New England mountains for this snow season, don’t worry, we’ve got you covered.

This week Halley O’Brien checks in with the SnoCountry report from the Rocky Mountains, but she brings news of the conditions in New England. Check out the video above to see how the mountains are doing and which one might pique your interest.

As you know if you live in New England, the area has been hit with a ton of snow in recent weeks. While that may be bad news if, for instance, you have to dig your car out, it’s great news if you’re heading out to the slopes.

In this week’s edition of the SnoCountry report, Halley O’Brien checks in from Mount Snow in Vermont. They boast the Cadillac of all ski lifts, as you’ll see, and its just one of a number of mountains you may want to head out to while the weather’s still cold.

Check out the conditions at some local mountains in the video above.

The World Golf Championships-Accenture Match Play Championship found that out the hard way Wednesday when a freak snowstorm stalled play. Now, the Arizona Diamondbacks must be wondering whether they, too, need to consider a move to Florida if they want spring training to go off without a hitch.

One of the Diamondbacks who awoke to a world of white Thursday morning and had practice canceled was new outfielder Cody Ross, who must have thought he would get to avoid Boston-like winters when he finished up with the Red Sox after last season.

Check out a photo from Ross as he and his Diamondbacks teammates waited for the weather to, ahem, clear so that practice could begin.

Late practice today due to this yesterday http://t.co/an81d9F6Vz

Vince Wilfork has been known to lend a hand around the house before, and with football season over, he had a shovel in hand as snow fell in the Boston area over the weekend.

Check out Wilfork at work in the photos below.

With age creeping up on the Boston core,  more pressure has fallen on point guard Rajon Rondo to carry the load. Although few in the NBA may be more capable of taking on such a task, it hasn’t been a seamless transition for the 26-year-old guard. An overwhelming leader in assists per game this season, Rondo will need more and more contributions from his veteran teammates if he hopes to be at the reins of a potential contender come playoff time.

According to Bovada’s NBA oddsmakers, the Celtics have a modest 30-1 shot of winning the championship this season. Considering where they’ve sat on that same NBA futures list in years past (10-1, 5-1, etc.), it’s clear that the franchise is in need of a rejuvenation if they have any intentions of making one last genuine run at a title before the window on Paul Pierce and Kevin Garnett officially closes.

The reason, though, that the Celtics remain within reach of the upper echelon on the NBA odds (and not off the radar altogether) is because oddsmakers, fans and critics alike can never truly rule out a veteran bunch as wily (and accomplished) as Boston’s.

If first-round draft pick Jared Sullinger can continue to make a name for himself off the Celtics bench, and if guard Avery Bradley can thrive following his return to the court for the first time this season, the C’s may not need to look externally for their second-half momentum boost after all.

All things considered, the Boston vets might not have enough gas left in the tank to do it singlehandedly, but with a promising handful of young prospects and one of the best point guards in the NBA, they can’t exactly be ruled out.

Michael Strahan is also still the official sack king after J.J. Watt and Aldon Smith failed to break his mark.

The rookie quarterback trifecta of Robert Griffin III, Russell Wilson and Andrew Luck did do some damage, though. Griffin ended the year with a 102.4 passer rating, passing Ben Roethlisberger’s mark from 2004. His completion percentage fell just short of the record, though, but he’ll take a playoff appearance in its place.

Russell Wilson also tied Peyton Manning’s record for touchdown passes for a rookie with 26. He said after the Seahawks’ victory over the Rams that the record was on his mind at one point, but he was happy to take the win — and Seattle’s playoff trip — instead.

“I was about to throw it to Zach [Miller] to break the record,” Wilson said. “Then I realized, ‘That’s not me.’ I wasn’t worried about that. The whole thing was to win the game.”

7:47 p.m.: Off the leg of Blair Walsh, Adrian Peterson finished nine yards short of the single-season rushing record. He made a valiant effort on his last carry, taking the ball 26 yards.

He finished the game with 199 yards on 34 carries and the season with 2,097 yards. Pretty impressive for a guy coming off serious knee surgery.

7:41 p.m.: Peterson now has 173 yards in the game on a career-high 33 carries. He needs 35 to break the record.

7:38 p.m.: With 169 yards, Adrian Peterson needs 39 yards to pass Eric Dickerson with 1:54 left in the fourth quarter. The game is tied 34-34.

7:23 p.m.: Unless Cameron Wake can channel Derrick Thomas in Sunday night’s Cowboys-Redskins game, it looks like Michael Strahan’s sack record is safe.

Aldon Smith was held sackless against the Cardinals.

7:16 p.m.: With 7:54 left in the fourth quarter, Adrian Peterson needs 45 yards to break the single-season rushing record. He has 29 carries for 163 yards. On the season, he has 2,061 yards.

6:57 p.m.: Adrian Peterson is 61 yards away from the record now. He has 25 carries for 147 yards. There is one quarter of play remaining.

6:45 p.m.: Russell Wilson has tied Peyton Manning for most touchdown passes for a rookie. Wilson connected with Michael Robinson for a 10-yard TD.

6:34 p.m.: Adrian Peterson is now 64 yards away from the record with 22 carries for 144 yards on the day against the Packers.

6:23 p.m.: We haven’t forgotten Aldon Smith or Russell Wilson over here, but they just haven’t done anything to increase their chances at accomplishing their records. Smith has been held sackless and Wilson has been held without a touchdown.

6:15 p.m.: Adrian Peterson’s goal is to break Eric Dickerson’s record against the Packers, but he has accomplished one feat. He passed 2,000 yards on the latest Vikings drive. With 19 carries for 117 yards, he has 2,015 on the season and needs 91 to pass Dickerson.

5:44 p.m.: Adrian Peterson now needs 117 yards to pass Eric Dickerson. Peterson has 91 yards on 17 carries with 1:07 left in the first half against the Packers.

5:09 p.m.: Adrian Peterson needs 140 yards to break the single-season rushing record. He has 13 carries for 68 yards and one touchdown on the game against the Packers. The Vikings are also fighting for a playoff spot.

4:50 p.m.: With 61 yards through nine minutes, Peterson needs just 147 more yards to break the record. He rallied off a 22 yard run and a touchdown on the Vikings’ second drive.

4:40 p.m.: Peterson rallied off 15 yards in the Vikings’ first possession and now needs 193 yards to break Eric Dickerson’s record.

4:05 p.m.: Calvin Johnson just didn’t have enough coming his way today to further assault the record books. Still, the most receiving yards in a season ever is a pretty feather in his cap, even if he did miss out on a couple of other distinctions.

Now it’s on to the 4:25 games — the good stuff. Aldon Smith gets a chance at the single-season sack record, and Adrian Peterson looks to take home the rushing crown. Keep it here!

4 p.m.: The Colts have given J.J. Watt plenty of time to break that sack record today, but it looks like it’s not going to happen. Indianapolis has controlled this game throughout, and Watt and his teammates haven’t been able to do much.

Andrew Luck is also going to fall short of Sam Bradford’s rookie completions record.

3:45 p.m.: Matthew Stafford is still gunning in Detroit, but it’s not to Calvin Johnson. Nevertheless, the Lions are clawing their way back against the playoff hopeful Bears.

Andrew Luck, meanwhile, keeps damaging his chances at that completion pass record by throwing really long passes. Come on, Luck. Split those 70-yard completions into a few smaller ones if you want the record.

3:10 p.m.: Well, hello, Calvin Johnson.

It doesn’t take too much to get Megatron going, and Matthew Stafford and his favorite receiver have finally connected. Stafford hit Johnson with a 14-yarder and an 18-yarder, and — poof! — Johnson has 65 yards on the day.

The Lions are also within 20-17, by the way.

2:45 p.m.: The second halves are getting started around the NFL. We’ll be watching Andrew Luck, who has 337 completions right now and needs 18 more to pass Sam Bradford’s rookie mark. That will be a tall task.

In Detroit, Matthew Stafford has broken the mark for pass attempts in a single season, but Calvin Johnson has just 23 yards receiving. He’ll have to do some serious work in the second half to notch a record 12th 100-yard receiving game for the season, and to get the the first 2,000-yard season for a wide receiver.

J.J. Watt remains sackless.

2:15 p.m.: The Chicago Bears are roaring in Detroit, and the Lions’ offense has failed to do much of anything since that opening drive.

In Houston, the Colts’ defense is the bigger storyline. A Vontae Davis interception got the ball back to Indianapolis, then the Houston defense folded under the pressure of rookie sensation Andrew Luck, who has led his team to pay dirt one more time. The Colts now lead 14-6, with halftime just a few minutes away.

Calvin Johnson and J.J. Watt will have some work to do in the second half if they want those records.

1:50 p.m.: The Houston defense got a sack, but it was Antonio Smith in the middle of that three-player scrum, not J.J. Watt.

Meanwhile, in Detroit, Drew Bledsoe’s single-season pass attempts record has officially fallen to Matthew Stafford. And you thought the Lions couldn’t win anything!

1:20 p.m.: Our first record of the day has taken a hit thanks to Matthew Stafford’s tendency to throw the ball — a lot.

This is one of the more meaningless stats, as it doesn’t matter how many times you throw if those throws are not being caught, are not counting for scores or are not winning games. Nonetheless, Stafford’s six pass attempts in the Lions’ opening drive has given him 691 pass attempts for the season, tying Drew Bledsoe. The record will fall with just one more toss.

Stafford’s passing buddy, wide receiver Calvin Johnson, is also well on his way to his 12th 100-yard receiving game of the year, also a record. He had 23 receiving yards in that first drive. Johnson also needs just 108 yards today for the first 2,000-yard season by a wide receiver.

Finally, Andrew Luck has passed Peyton Manning for rookie pass completions. Luck’s 330 trails just Sam Bradford’s 354.

1:15 p.m.: J.J. Watt is his usually voracious self on the field today, but a little too much eagerness may be detrimental. Watt and the Houston defense tried to come out against the Colts with pressure early on, but the Colts responded with a 75-yard touchdown drive.

Watt had the first tackle of the game, a one-yard takedown of running back Vick Ballard, but no sacks. And the Colts now have a 7-0 lead.

1 p.m.: Gentlemen, take your places at the starting line.

J.J. Watt, Calvin Johnson, Matthew Stafford and Andrew Luck get the first crack at the record books as their games kick off. Most of the attention will be in Houston, where Watt is chasing the single-season sack record while his Texans are chasing the No. 1 seed in the AFC East.

Check back here to see who’s making noise as the games begin.

11 a.m.: With all the records being challenged or broken in the NFL this year, it’s worth asking what’s happening to the game. Is this a trend in one direction, or just a statistical anomaly?

The funny thing is that, while the bulk of the records are on the offensive side, a major defensive record is being challenged, too. And even among the offensive records, the expected passing and receiving numbers are accompanied by Adrian Peterson’s pursuit of the single-season rushing record in an era where the rushing game has shrunk. People could expect passing and receiving records to fall, considering how the game has been developing over the past decade, but for the big rushing and sacks records to also be up for grabs is just strange.

There’s no denying that the NFL is becoming more offense-friendly, but the stash of records that could be broken by the time this year is over doesn’t support that claim as much as it seems to say that this is a perfect storm for people who like measuring the game by the numbers.

10:20 a.m.: Eric Dickerson hasn’t been shy about saying he wants his single-season rushing record to stand. Now he’s giving his professional opinion on whether Adrian Peterson can break the mark.

Dickerson said on the NFL Network this morning that Peterson can certainly rack up 208 yards in a given game, but it’s not going to happen today against the Packers.

10 a.m.: While the records waiting to be broken will be getting most of the attention today, this season has already seen some big ones fall.

Detroit’s Calvin Johnson broke Jerry Rice’s single-season mark for receiving yards last week. Rice amassed 1,848, and Johnson finished Week 16 with 1,892. With one game left, Johnson could be the first wide receiver to notch 2,000 yards in a season.

Andrew Luck has also already broken a rookie passing record. With 4,183 passing yards, he smashed Cam Newton’s record from last year of 4,053. Luck can build on that total today and further distance himself from future challengers.

8 a.m. ET: It all comes down to this.

While many NFL teams are shoring up for the playoffs, another pursuit awaits for those chasing individual accolades. For some of the NFL’s best players, just 60 minutes remain to break records after a long season of work.

In a year that has seen all kinds of benchmarks fall, a couple of the big ones remain. The Vikings’ Adrian Peterson needs his third 200-yard rushing game of the season to match Eric Dickerson for the single-season rushing record. J.J. Watt and Aldon Smith are both within reach of Michael Strahan’s single-season sack total.

Those records, which have received most of the attention, aren’t the only ones left, though. Rookie quarterbacks Andrew Luck, Robert Griffin III and Russell Wilson can all break benchmarks for first-year passers. And the Lions’ two biggest offensive weapons, quarterback Matthew Stafford and wide receiver Calvin Johnson, can also do damage despite their team’s losing record.

Most of the fun starts at 1 p.m., with Bears-Lions and Texans-Colts kicking off first. Take a look below to see which records are at stake, then swing back here throughout the day to see what’s happening. We’ll keep you updated as each record pursuit unfolds.

Did you know that 40 percent of the power for Jiminy Peak comes from a single wind turbine? Just a sample of the things you can learn by clicking to NESN.com.

Halley O’Brien of SnoCountry is back with another weekly report on the local New England mountains, and the conditions look pretty promising if you’re planning to head out to the slopes. Everywhere from Pats Peak to Loon Mountain is looking good, so check out the video above for all the winter info.

Looking to have some fun in the snow this winter? Then you may want to check out Killington Ski Resort.

Killington’s been utilizing the snow guns since October, leaving the mountain primed for some great winter conditions. They’ll keep it going as long as the weather allows, so check out a sneak peak at the conditions in the NESN Snow video above.

Thinking about heading out to the mountains and wondering what the conditions are like? NESN has you covered.

As SnoCountry’s Halley O’Brien explains, the local mountains have seen a “sampler platter” of conditions lately. So, whatever your appetite, there’s probably a mountain and a slope or run calling your name.

Check out the latest SnoCountry snapshot in the video above.

It wasn’t so long ago that the defending Super Bowl champion Giants looked the part, but after a 34-0 thrashing at the hands of Atlanta, New York’s future is very much up in the air. Coupled with wins by the Redskins and Cowboys, the Giants’ loss leaves New York tied for first place in the NFC East, and very possibly on the outside looking in come playoff time.

Meanwhile, the other team in last year’s Super Bowl didn’t fare too well on Sunday either. Unlike the Giants, the Patriots have at least clinched a playoff spot already. However, their road in the postseason got a heck of a lot tougher with a loss to San Francisco costing them a first-round bye (for now).

The Patriots and the Giants have a couple of games left to straighten themselves out in time to make a push for the Big Game, but their struggles are only one of many surprises from Sunday’s slate of games.
