Like You're Above That, Lewis
This isn't new, but with the upcoming onslaught of ESPN tournament coverage, I thought it might be helpful to revisit some of the masturbatory habits of your favorite ESPN analysts. Majerus likes Ashley Judd, and in the absence of Ashley Judd, likes hotel room porno....
The Patriots Are Dominating Free Agency
I'm growing increasingly uncomfortable with how the New England Patriots are spending money this off-season. The Patriots are a threat to win the Super Bowl when they aren't spending money. Adding Adalius Thomas, Wes Welker, Kyle Brady and now Donte Stallworth to the mix... it just makes me terribly...
That Lucky Janitor Saw Something Special
West Virginia isn't likely to hear their name called during this evening's NCAA Selection Show, so to cushion the blow, I thought we could check in with former Mountaineer stars Mike Gansey and Patrick Beilein and see what they're up to these days....
The Behavior In The WAC Is Very Disappointing
WAC commissioner Karl Benson (the Tiny Universe was unavailable for comment) is concerned about some of the behavior of his players and coaches during the WAC tournament. The Idaho Statesman runs down a list of poor WAC behavior, including Reggie Theus storming onto the floor and yelling at an oppos...
Can Pacman Jones Please Pick Up His 7-10 Split In Peace?
With "wrong place, wrong time" becoming less of a clich and more of a way of life, Pacman Jones is in the news again. A knife-wielding man went after Pac in a bowling alley last night, threatening to beat him up and slice a few holes in him. Jeff Fisher is not a suspect....
College Hoops Compendium: Where To Start...
An effort to hit the high points in yesterday's college basketball action would be futile... there wasn't much that happened yesterday that wasn't significant. If you sat on your ass and watched college hoops all yesterday, I salute you....

About Last Night...
• College Basketball: Georgetown 65, Pitt 42. I'm still waiting for Pitt to make their run. • Women's College Basketball: UMBC 67, Vermont 56. This was televised. I saw it. • New Mexico State 72, Utah State 70. I didn't see the game, but two of the AP's first three paragraphs were about how Reggie T...
Some Of Them Don't Even Look All That Happy
You may hate soccer ... I know this. Still, I promise that these will be six enjoyable minutes internet minutes....
To Watch Tonight...
• College Basketball. Big East Conference Final. Georgetown vs. Pitt. I can't wait to see whether or not Aaron Gray has stubble. 9:00, ESPN. • Movie. Harold & Kumar Go to White Castle. I didn't realize the dramatic range that role required of Neil Patrick Harris. 8:00, TBS. • College Basketball. WAC...

• I never really thought about it before, but the guys who conduct the steroids tests for pro sports leagues ... that can't be a pleasant job. [Litmus] • This is getting ridiculous, Tom Brady. [The Extrapolator] • Anyone else notice that the Sixers have won six straight games? [The 700 Level] • Bran...
Greg Ostertag Plays Ping Pong Exactly Like You'd Expect Greg Ostertag To Play Ping Pong
What a thrill that must have been for this young man ... to launch ping pong balls in the direction of Greg Ostertag while he stands there expressionless and forces himself to occasionally move his arms just a tiny little bit. Lucky guy got to experience the same thing experienced by every opposing ...
You Know Who'd Make A Great Terrorist? This Guy
The New York Times was slightly bemused by the fact that a large bearded man with a gun was able to walk into Madison Square Garden this week with no security hassle. The Mountaineer, WVU's mascot, cruised into Madison Square Garden with his .45-caliber rifle, no questions asked....
USC's Grand Week Continues
You'd have to consider OJ Mayo an extremely unlikely candidate to launch a white supremacy website, but that doesn't mean the much-heralded USC basketball recruit can't find another way to get into trouble. Mayo was busted for misdemeanor marijuana possession last night in Huntington, West Virginia....
Who Would YOU Trust To Get The Right Supplements In Your Body?
In life, I guess it's best to stick with what you know, which is how a guy like OJ Simpson ends up trying to sell books about how to kill people. Along those same lines, it makes all the sense in the world that Bill Romanowski, former linebacker and admitted steroid abuser, is launching a "supplemen...
Rasheed Wallace Cannot Be Made To Care
After you pick up 16 technical fouls in one NBA season, each technical foul thereafter earns you a one-game suspension. You'll never guess who became the first player to be suspended via that rule ... oh, hell, I'll just tell you. 'Twas Rasheed Wallace....
Lars, You Scamp...
Ah, the plight of the female sports reporter. If someone's not making a video montage of your ass and putting it on YouTube, than a Norwegian skier is sitting behind you, gesturing that you suck cock. These women deserve raises. Every single one of them....
The New Buzzsaw Regime Supports Local Business
Richie Anderson, former NFL running back and recently hired as wide receivers coach of the Arizona Cardinals, was finding it difficult to make friends in his new community....

About Last Night...
• College Basketball: Pitt 65, Louisville 59. Louisville has blown huge leads on two straight nights. Keep that in mind, tiny conference team that plays Louisville in the first round of the tournament. • NBA: 76ers 108, Lakers 92. Another game, another white man hit by a Kobe elbow. I guess someone ...
