It's College Baseball's Opening Day, And The Umpires Are Already Falling Over Their Own Feet
Believe it or not, there are a few of us who really do get excited for college baseball's opening day. (This may be a Florida thing.

Hulk Remains Our Soccer Hero
We've never shied away from naming Hulk our favorite international footballer, and with good reason: the dude launches rockets off his foot that are a far bigger threat than anything North Korea could stick together with Silly Putty. (Ex.) The Brazilian striker was back at his old tricks yesterday ...

These Fans At The Saddledome Last Night Are True Jagr Meisters
The world's favorite mulleted hockey enfant terrible isn't so much an enfant these days as elderly, but that doesn't stop fans of Stars winger Jaromir Jagr from showing up in arenas across the NHL to show their appreciation for one of the sport's greats. Several such fans showed up in Calgary last ...
<em>Around The Horn</em> Viewers Continue To Be Mystified By Ash Wednesday
For years, Around The Horn host Tony Reali has proudly worn the mark of Ash Wednesday upon his forehead while hosting that day's program.

Let's All Watch Marco Rubio's Panicked Drink Of Water In Extreme Slow Motion
It was the swig heard 'round the world. Florida senator Marco Rubio, tasked with delivering the official Republican response to President Obama's State of the Union address, found himself parched and distant from the necessary tool to quench that burning fire. In other words, he was thirsty. Usual...
Kentucky Star Nerlens Noel Leaves Game Against Florida After Suffering Knee Injury That Left Him Screaming In Pain [UPDATE]
This is tough to watch (and to listen to, since it might be the sound of a promising NBA career being tossed into the spinning wheel of injury fate). Midway through the second half of Kentucky's bout in Gainesville—one the Wildcats would lose by a 69-52 score—freshman phenom Nerlens Noel crashed ...
Here's The Balls-Out Levon Helm Grammy Awards Memorial Tribute Performance Of "The Weight"
First things first: as rock critic Steven Hyden said immediately after this performance, it only proved further that nobody could sing a song quite like Levon Helm could sing a song. Regardless, pulling together some superstars for a rockin' performance of "The Weight," that song cool guys sing at...
The College Football Video Game Supposedly Backed By Jamal Anderson Is The World's Saddest Scam
Four days ago, this Kickstarter campaign from "Dirty Bird Sports" popped up on the project-funding platform. The name is a reference to former Atlanta Falcons running back Jamal Anderson, the project's apparent patron, whose "Dirty Bird" touchdown dance was a fixture of the Falcons' 1998-99 Super B...
Bizarro World Laker Bros Have The Sadface
The Celtics flew past the Lakers in last night's early national broadcast to the tune of a 116-95 score. It was an offensive explosion unseen from Boston until now, and it left some New England Lakers fans grasping for hope (or perhaps their sunglasses)....

Two Weeks After Bizarre Radio Show Appearance, ODU Basketball Coach Blaine Taylor Fired
Old Dominion fired head basketball coach Blaine Taylor today following last night's loss to George Mason that dropped the Monarchs to a very un-regal 2-20 record on the season. While at first glance the firing isn't a surprise given the team's record, you'd expect a coach who has achieved so much—...
Watch CBS Herp And Derp Its Way Through The Super Bowl Power Outage
Drew already highlighted how last night's Super Bowl blackout led to some spectacularly bad television. From repeated assertions that the game would resume "in about 15 [or 20] minutes" to sideline reporters fumbling for words, the Tiffany network spread fecal material all over the Superdome and ...
The Best Super Bowl Coverage Could Be Found On Univision
On Super Bowl Sunday, you had your choice of pre-game coverage outlets; CBS (obviously), ESPN, and NFL Network led the way, but the more adventurous could find gameday news in some more unlikely locations....
This Is The Most Mesmerizing Video From The Super Bowl
This year's Super Bowl was heavy on the dramatic build-up but short, at times, on the execution. (The lengthy power outage delay didn't help.) There was one moment, though, that both inspired numerous emails from readers and captivated everyone's attention, if only for a few seconds. We have Frank...
