The Miami Heat were punchless in a Game 3 blowout loss to the San Antonio Spurs Tuesday night, but fortunately, the Los Angeles Dodgers and Arizona Diamondbacks brought some fight to Chavez Ravine, where a bunch of old timers lowered the boom in a bench-clearing brawl.

Elsewhere, Tim Tebow made his New England Patriots debut on Tuesday — but Bill Belichick didn't want to talk about it (so we talked for him) — and the Bruins talked about playing for Boston as they prepare for Wednesday's Game 1 of the Stanley Cup Finals.

As for the rest of the news, here are some of the stories and videos that we liked — and you may have missed — from the Tuesday that was:

• Darnell Dockett's new face mask is both awesome and terrifying.

• Add DeSean Jackson to the list of Philadelphia Eagles who want to know who their quarterback is.

• We now pause for another revealing in-game interview with Spurs coach Gregg Popovich:

• Now in Baton Rouge, Cam Cameron got his Super Bowl ring.

• Devon Walker is staying upbeat after being paralyzed in a Tulane football game last season.

• Gerrit Cole's Major League debut was an overwhelming success in Pittsburgh.

• Here is your weekly bunny-playing-basketball update:

• Carolina Panthers tight end Greg Olsen is a big fan of Carolina Panthers tight end Greg Olsen.

• Meanwhile, another Panther sees 50 sacks in his future. (The NFL single-season record is 22.5.)

• Will Tebowmania finally die under Bill Belichick's thumb in New Engalnd?

• Watch a killer whale steal a halibut off a fishing line (some NSFW fisherman language):

• Did Jim Brown hint that some Cleveland Browns players are partying too much?

• The new Superman says he did not use steroids to become the Man of Steel.

• Check out the high-tech new weight room at Iowa State.

• Maria Menounos told Conan that Jack Nicholson had her removed from her courtside seat a Lakers game:

• Rex Ryan is not concerned at all with how the Patriots use Tim Tebow.

• Chicago Cubs minor-leaguer Ian Stewart was suspended without pay after a strange Twitter rant.

• A poorly organized bike race in Washington DC led to a crash that looked worse than it really was:

• Rochester radio host writes racist screed against Asian LPGA golfers, gets wiped from station website.

• Seattle Mariners prospect Taijuan Walker is a is a big, big fan of the Fresh Prince of Bel-Air.

• This is probably the best-case scenario if your leap over a moving car fails. (Don’t try to jump over a moving car.)
