Novak Djokovic, Rogers Cup mascot dance to Daft Punk (VIDEO)

The National Football League has recognized that players spinning the ball after scoring a touchdown is a threat to our way of life. In Major League Baseball, Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Yasiel Puig has become a flashpoint for an endlessly tedious debate over celebration etiquette.

That is why they call him the Joker.

Meantime, Tuesday was a landmark day for Canadian tennis, and here's hoping it continues.
