Complaining about money is generally a way for a famous athlete to bring down the ire of the internet on his or her head, but Lolo Jones' recent money complaint might mask a legitimate, larger point. Jones tweeted out a Vine video of a $741.84 paycheck she received for training for the U.S. bobsled team. That's not bad for a week's pay, but the check was for seven months, a fact that Jones mocked in her video. Some fellow bobsledders were not amused, calling the video insulting. Jones said her point was to make people appreciate how hard Olympic athletes work, but her delivery might have muddled her message.

• Time to make the donuts bro: "She's right. You work seven months for $741. See how that works for you."
• choate_sedition: "This is an insult not because she is complaining about $741 - she is right that is insulting. None of the other bobsledders there have her million dollar endorsement portfolio to fall back on, they are doing it for the love of the sport - something she clearly lacks - for her to complain in the face of it, that is insulting."
• bsheff98: "Clearly she was kidding. People in the sport and critical fans need to chill. We don't have to start squawking every time someone famous says something that can be taken the wrong way."
• abuja19: "Credit to Lolo for this. She's right. She (and others in here sport) may need to be better supported. I don't get all the foolish comments on here bashing her. It seems to me that people just want to be disrespectful than actually listen to what she's saying."
• asentientcheeselog: "I think the point Jones was trying to make is entirely reasonable, and the way she did it really wasn't a problem."

The Blackhawks and Bruins are doing their level best to engage in as many overtimes as possible in the Stanley Cup finals, but that'll make raising the trophy all the sweeter in the end. That even goes for when the player who wins the Conn Smythe Trophy is on the losing side -- a rare feat, but one that's happened more than once. Can you name the past 10 players to hoist the Conn Smythe?

Johnny Manziel is at the center of attention again, but not for being the first freshman to win the Heisman. The Texas A&M quarterback reportedly said on Twitter that he "can't wait" to leave the College Station, which is the home of the Aggies.

That tweet was taken down and followed up by another, but it's not yet clear whether the second message -- in which he said he loves A&M, but asked his 361,000-plus followers to "please please walk a day in my shoes" -- smoothed things over. Is there trouble ahead for Manziel with the Aggie faithful? Should he take break from Twitter?

How do you go about retrieving a Super Bowl ring from the president of Russia? If you're Patriots owner Bob Kraft, it seems like the only recompense you have is publicly accusing Vladimir Putin of theft. Surely, Putin will realize his mistake and return the ring to -- oh, wait, never mind. A spokesman said that Kraft offered the ring to Putin as a gift and that Kraft's comments were ''weird.'. Oh, well. If we were in Kraft's position, we probably would have kept quiet and tried to finagle an ambassadorship out of the whole thing.

• YeaStevers: "If somebody says 'I could kill someone with this!' and then walks away with the KGB...you don't ask for the ring back until years later when you are secure in your own country and friends with Tebow. He made the right call here."
• Calmer Than U Are: "I'm surprised nobody on the Pats got it on camera."
• vonsteve1668: "If I were Kraft I'd want this story buried a quickly as possible. He looks like a sucker either way. And Putin looks like a boss either way."
• washheightsboy3: "Kraft is realizing he won't get another one anytime soon."
• penulaberry: "Between this story and the signing of Tebow, the Patriots have officially jumped the shark."
