This Is The Face Of A Man Who Earned His First Technical Foul In Six Years
Georgetown coach John Thompson III earned his first technical in six years last night, reacting to a questionable foul call on Nate Lubick in the second half of an embarrassing home blowout loss to Pitt.

Here Is A Bunch Of People Insisting Notre Dame Would Have Won Last Night If Not For The Referees
The Alabama Crimson Tide dominated Notre Dame in last night's BCS Championship Game. This really is not debatable. Alabama beat the Irish on offense, on defense, and on special teams. They led the game 35-0 at one point. They rolled up 529 yards on a Notre Dame defense that was supposed to be among...
BCS Who? Jon Gruden Decided To Have A Blast At <em>WWE Raw</em> Instead
So the BCS championship game was another Alabama-dominated snoozer, one most of us expected from the beginning. Few of us, though, were smart enough to seek out alternative forms of entertainment last night....
Brent Musburger Is A Bit Too Infatuated With A.J. McCarron's Girlfriend, Katherine Webb
As often happens during boring, blowout bowl games, the cameras and commentary shifted tonight from the action on the field to the stands and Alabama QB A.J. McCarron's girlfriend Katherine Webb. Okay, sure, mention she goes to Auburn and how scandalous that is—that's normal. ESPN announcer Brent...
An Autographed Jason Campbell Jersey Exists, And This Guy Behind Erin Andrews Is Wearing It
Jason Campbell's years as the Skins' starting quarterback were unremarkable; he accumulated an 18-27 record there, and while he does have the tenth-lowest career interception percentage in NFL history, he shares that mark with luminaries like David Garrard and Shaun Hill....
<em>Snowmageddon</em> And 18 Other Things Fox Affiliates Are Airing Instead Of Today's Historic Live F.A. Cup Broadcast
For the first time in history, an English F.A. Cup match is being aired live on American broadcast television. The highly-anticipated West Ham-Man United match on Fox didn't grab the excitement of all the News Corp affiliates, though, and that's not especially surprising. It's happened before. In f...

Petros Papadakis is busy preparing for Fox's Cotton Bowl broadcast tonight, so L.A. Times columnist and Around The Horn panelist Bill Plaschke guest-hosted Petros & Money on KLAC radio in Los Angeles on Thursday. Despite a world of sports topics worth discussion in Southern California at 3 p.m. Pac...
Next Year's Rose Bowl Pairing Is Already Set
Poor ESPN. They just can't seem to get their BCS bowl graphics right this year. Two nights ago, they ran a graphic several times showing the two teams that played in last year's Sugar Bowl. Last night's Fiesta Bowl featured a promo for Tuesday's Rose Bowl, the one Stanford won handily. We wouldn't ...
Only Two One-Point Safeties Have Ever Happened In NCAA Football History, And Brad Nessler Called Them Both
Tonight's mostly-boring Fiesta Bowl has featured the expected Oregon offensive firepower, but it's how they scored a single point that will make this a game to remember.

Colorado Hits Buzzer-Beater To Upset Third-Ranked Arizona, Referees Wave It Off For No Reason [UPDATE]
Colorado guard Sabatino Chen—who came into tonight's game averaging just 4.1 points per game—hit a buzzer-beater in Tucson to down third-ranked Arizona, only to find referees waving it off after a video review that appeared to back up the original call on the court of a good shot....
Stephen Jackson Injured When He Trips Over Courtside Waitress Serving Mayor Bloomberg
Spurs veteran wing Stephen Jackson suffered a bizarre injury at Madison Square Garden tonight when he appeared to trip over a courtside waitress in the first quarter of San Antonio's bout with the Knicks. Even stranger, it appears the waitress was serving Mayor Bloomberg himself. Of course, we hav...
ESPN, Local Stations Remain Confused On Which Teams Are Actually Playing In This Year's BCS Bowls
ESPN ran out the above graphic several times during Louisville's dominating 33-23 victory over Florida, a reminder that not all your New Year's treats are as fresh as you'd like them to be. But it's not just ESPN who's recycling last year's graphics; here's a shot from yesterday's 6 p.m. newscast o...
Tom Rinaldi And Tim Tebow Shared A Very Special Moment On The Sidelines During Tonight's Sugar Bowl
Resident ESPN tearjerker Tom Rinaldi caught up with resident ESPN topic-jacker Tim Tebow tonight in the first half of the Sugar Bowl in New Orleans, and from the looks of things it was a blissful moment. We'll warn Tebow now, though, that if he hears any tinkling piano he'd best start running. (Al...
Angry Cowboys Fan Fills Washing Machine With Explosives, Fires Rifle At It Just To Blow Up Tony Romo Jersey
Courtesy our friends over at the Dallas Observer, here's an example of the sort of responsible gun ownership we've come to expect from the Lone Star State.

Refs Botched Last Night's UConn-Marquette Overtime, Had Teams Shoot At Wrong Baskets, May Have Cost UConn The Game

A Rusty Barry Alvarez Struggled With Some Of The More Complicated Aspects Of Coaching, Like How To Wear Sunglasses
Barry Alvarez ascended himself to the post of Wisconsin Badgers head football coach for the Rose Bowl, filling in for a Bret Bielema who'd abandoned his team for the bright lights of Fayetteville.

ESPN's Heather Cox After Postgame Interview With Stanford Coach David Shaw Cut Short: "Are You Kidding Me?"
Rose Bowl officials—apparently ignorant to various contractual obligations involving ESPN's access to the winning football coach—pulled away Stanford coach David Shaw moments after his team defeated Wisconsin, and interrupted his postgame interview with ESPN's Heather Cox. Cox made every attempt t...
