When I try to think about a good theme party to host I always end up with a long list of ideas, but tend to fall back on a classic theme that everyone ends up loving: the ’80s.

If you picked Lamar Odom’s tenure with the Dallas Mavericks to last longer than his marriage to Khloe Kardashian, you were wrong. On Monday, the Mavericks agreed to part ways with forward Lamar Odom.

Sometimes the most entertaining part of watching a baseball game in person is the dugout. If you’re close enough, or the big screen flicks over to the bench, you’ll either see a bunch of happy guys chattering, some serious gum-chewing, stern stares or a very angry team manager and staff.
