Whatever Choice Was Made, It Was Going To Be Wrong
We enjoy this picture of Georgia center Fernando Velasco, taken after the Bulldogs' win over Georgia Tech Saturday, because he is holding an orange. Presumably, a fan through him — and some other Bulldogs — an orange to symbolize the Orange Bowl. This is odd not because Georgia is not going to the O...
Fun With Knicks' Math
• R.I.P., Sean Taylor. • Enough, Eli, enough. • We miss Saturday NFL too. • Pau Gasol poops. • The Daily Illini rules. • The Patriots could possibly lose. Possibly. • The Bob Knight Gun Show • God, we love Canada. • Bill Conlin would like you to get off his lawn. • Covering the Knicks is miserable. ...

This is the logo for 2009 Final Four in Detroit: It's a tire that's on fire. Flaming tires! Billy Packer! What's not to love?...
The Final Word On Sean Taylor (For Now)
We've always enjoyed David Aldridge; he seems like one of those guys who found his true self once he left ESPN. We appreciate that he keeps the sports for what they are, and knows who he is: He's an information guy, and he's one of the best. But he knows when to step out and make his voice heard whe...
When Ya Gotta Go ...
