• Did you miss Bud Selig's press conference on the steroid inquiry committee today? Fret not; it has been live-blogged. [Talking Baseball] • NHL refs has Jack Abramoff's back. [Hockey Dirt] • Nothing funnier than pretending your...
Nothing that can happen the rest of the day is going to top that. I'm done. No more basketball for me. I'm quitting while I'm ahead.
All right, kids, 'twas the night before the NCAA Tournament kicks off and everything goes right plum crazy for four days, then takes three days off, then goes slightly less nuts for four more days. We can't wait, and we suspect you can't either.
• Kyle Orton and his buddies Jack and Daniel give us enough traffic that we are currently sunbathing on a beach in Boise. It's nice here. Orton says he's sorry, by the way. No need, Kyle! • Jesus don't want Josh McCown for a sunbeam....
Seriously, what's in Manny Ramirez's hair thingee? [The Sports Hernia]
I'm writing this post from the other side, where Grandpa Nibbles seems to have passed on. I'm dating back an hour, but we've got all these published posts that have yet to appear on the site, and my last three PL liveblog updates have not taken...
• Vlade Divac, being sued over cologne. [WBRS Sports Blog] • Charles Barkley and the Golden State fans are having some fun with each other. [Merc Extra] • This is pretty much exactly what was going through Brady Quinn's mind on...
• NFL Playoffs. Philadelphia Eagles @ New Orleans Saints. Ah, what the hell, I'll stick around. 8:00, FOX. • College Hockey. Bowling Green @ Nebraska-Omaha. Quick vote. Should we liveblog this, or the football game? 8:00,...
If you were undecided about who to root for today... Jesus.
(UPDATE: That video is dead... but you can see it here. You should probably hurry.)
Bradley's up 7 right now with about 5 minutes to play. It should be a great finish, if Carl Krauser stops punching people. Krauser missed a lay-up, Aaron Gray put it back in, and Krauser got up and on his way back down the court, threw an elbow...
Since it only takes two minutes, and because it's so goddamn exciting, I decided to liveblog the Kentucky Derby. Let's get to it.
We bring you this picture of Tennessee coach Bruce Pearl, from The Dirty, because, well, because the tournament's about to kick back going again, and it's Bruce Pearl.
Slight adjustment of plans with the liveblog, as you may have noticed. We're getting a little bit of a late start because of some technical issues. It's still a liveblog, but sort of... delayed. Sorry.
What to watch from the comfort of your giant toilet ... • Boxing: Super middleweights, Lucian "I Love Big" Bute vs. Sakio "Super Happy Fun Time" Bika, at Montreal. [ESPN2] • College World Series: North Carolina vs. Mississippi State....
• Taking issue with some of Bill Simmons' points about journalism and blogging. [Metsquire] • That "Michigan Bar" where you're watching the game today? Yeah, they don't really give a damn about Michigan. [Wall Street Journal]...
Via YAYSports!, here's video of Kobe Bryant's appearance on TNT last night. We're not sure what much more we can add to Free Darko's live-blogging of the experience, except to marvel in that soon-to-be-infamous blue sweater vest thing. As one...
• The Mets/Phillies game tonight will be liveblogged. [MiracleMets.Net] • Jason Giambi gets a little testy when they give him the infield shift. [BlogNYC] • The 50 greatest WWF rivalries [Rivalfish] • Checking back in...
• Well, kind of. [Yard Work] • Some classy folks they're adding there in West Virginia. [The Realests] • Bill James, on working with the Red Sox. [SethMnookin.com] Some poor souls live-blogged the ESPYs. Ooof. [Three True...
• Looking at Ryan Leaf's first interview in four years. [The Sports Pulse] • Those looking for live-blogging of the Champions League final can go to the Guardian. [The Guardian] • We never thought of this as true, but we guess it...
• Two moos for Virginia Tech, one moo for Miami and an extra moo for all our people upstate. [ActionBerg] • Yeah, we thought that Castilla-for-Lawrence trade was really weird too. [The Sports Frog] • The two Moneyball acolytes,...
So the more and more we think about this NCAA rule about no live-blogging in the press box, the more insane it seems. It might be one of the dumbest Internet decisions we've seen an athletic organization make, and considering Major League Baseball...
- Liveblogging a halftime show is a first for me. I'm sticking here with Prince, but if anyone has any pictures of the Lingerie Bowl that they feel like they should share with the group, feel free: mjd@deadspin.com.
As part of our preparations for the lunacy that lands on our sports radars this Sunday, we've been digging around the irreplaceable Basketball Prospectus, trying to find those odd little tidbits on Oral Roberts and Siena. And we discovered...
Roger Clemens is making his 2007 baseball debut today for the Yankees at the Stadium. He will be paid roughly 1 jillion dollars* per start. (* - Rounding up.)
All right, well, we've all waited long enough: The World Series is finally starting tonight. All the storylines have been exhausted by this point. Probably just time to get going.
If the Phillies and Cubs were planning on winning some games this post season they'd be wise to get things started tonight. Chicago is already underway with Arizona and things are going just as expected, 1-0 Diamondbacks after a third of an...
