In sports, everyone is a winner—some people just win better than others. Like Kobe Bryant, who has been in much worse jams than Tiger Woods and he's doing just fine now. Can you sink putts at the buzzer? More »

Craggs was wrong: Mangino wasn't fired, he "resigned." After a parade of former players claiming abuse, Kansas finally made like the Catholic Church and decided it's time to move on. Baby Mangino sheds a tear. And burps and poops. [KU] More »

The hand you see here belongs to a former Kansas defensive lineman, who says that in 2003, surly parade balloon Mark Mangino made him "bear-crawl" across a hot AstroTurf field. It was punishment for missing, oh yes, a weigh-in. More »

Former Kansas football players are coming out of the woodwork now to tell the us all how awfully "inappropriate" Mark Mangino is when he yells at his players. It's clear that when it comes to emotional devastation, he's the king. More »

Jason Whitlock offers his funky-fresh perspective on the absurd Mark Mangino poking situation by positing that the beleaguered coach's problems could have all been avoided had he not weighed "450 to 500 pounds." Fat-on-fat crime ensues. More »

Does this look like the face of someone who would berate and threaten his players? Or worse, a parking enforcer who was only doing his job when he gave the Kansas football coach two dozen parking tickets? You'd be surprised. More »

Kansas has launched an internal investigation of football coach Mark Mangino, which combined with five straight losses and an upcoming shellacking against Texas, could spell doom for the rotund coach. But what will become of his infant doppleganger? More »

You know, when this loveable little tyke first appeared in the inbox, no one knew where he lived or what his secret Clark Kent-like identity was and, frankly, I didn't want to know. The mystery was part of his charm, like a magic trick you can't figure out, but after the strong outpouring of support that he received in the nomination process for Sports Human Of The Year, natural curiosity got the better of me. I had to know more. And now the whole world will know, because Baby Mangino has gone from master celebrity impersonator to bona fide celebrity. More »

Ok, I did not see this one coming. Believe it or not, there are least two different families somewhere in the United States that decided that the perfect Halloween costume for their young infant was to dress him up like Kansas football coach Mark Mangino. What are the odds of that happening twice in one year? This is like one of those Extinction Level Event asteroids, right?
This one—hereafter referred to as Baby Mangino II or BM2—is actually named Alex and lives in New Castle, PA ... birth place of the original Papa Bear. I'm not sure if the resemblance is quite the same, but I give him points for the sweet props. What do you guys think?
He's definitely got the drool down.
And just for reference ... Boy ... I am not looking forward to my dreams tonight. More »

I went to two pretty decent Halloween parties last weekend and saw a lot of clever costumes—Tony Stark with glowing chest plate, Anton Chigurh, Carmen Sandiego, Sewer Urchin, half the cast of "The Maltese Falcon," two Sarah Palins, 16 Jokers, and a dude in a Chinese gymnast leotard. But none—none—of them compare to the most perfect costume from the sports world and beyond ... Baby Mangino. More »

Ditto for 'Our Coach Beat Anorexia.' Kansas football players are so sensitive. They wouldn't last a day in the Iowa Athletic Department. Mark Mangino is svelte in their loving eyes. More »

Is Mark Mangino leaving Kansas to become the new coach at West Virginia? Well, no, obviously. Who would think that? Unfortunately for him, Lawrence Journal-World reporter Ryan Wood, who became the victim of one of them thar hoaxes. More »

You have to credit the athletic departments of Kansas and Missouri for thinking ahead. Before anyone knew how important this game was going to turn out in the national championship picture, they scheduled this one as a night game at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City. That means they're going to be drinking all day, and all night ... it's gonna be trouble tomorrow night. More »

We don't know about you, but we're entranced by Kansas coach Mark Mangino. He's like Rick Majerus, but less cartoonish. He looks like what we want football coaches to look like; sorry, ladies, but he's married! More »
