A few years back, Jason Nark over at the Daily News did a couple of nice pieces on Rocky Lockridge, the two-time world super-featherweight champion who ended up homeless and addicted on the streets of Camden.

But lo and behold, Adrian Fernandez one-timed a turned-over deflection about, oh, 35 yards past the Tigre goalkeeper. That was the first…

Anyway, on Octonauts, they end each episode with a “Creature Report” about the underwater life-form with which they interacted. The educational moment of the show, in short. We watched one involving narwhals the other day (no plot spoilers). Here’s the…
