Chargers Doing Their Part To Help Saints Recover
A heads-up tipster sent in this picture of a sign posted in front of the Chargers' practice and main office. You'll note that the spelling is a little off, but I think the individual (hopefully child) has his/her heart in the right place. Regardless, it might not be a bad idea for the Chargers to ...
Eye Of The Wildcat
I have asked for video of the Allan Ray eye injury last night, and you guys have responded like champions. Thanks to all of you who sent in links, but this is the best one I've gotten. All I can say about the video is AHHHHHHHH! AHHHHHHHHH!...
Squeaky Johnson Was Not Well-Oiled
Memphis won the Conference USA tournament this afternoon with a 57-46 victory over the UAB Blazers and my favorite name in the nation, Squeaky Johnson. Squeaky finished with just four points on 2-of-10 shooting. The win probably wraps up a 1-seed for John Calipari and the Tigers....
Allan Ray's Eyeball
A couple of readers e-mailed last night to say that they saw Villanova senior guard Allan Ray's eyeball actually get popped out of his head last night. ESPN is apparently refusing to show video of it. We here at Deadspin have no such scruples, so if any of you have the footage, feel free to send i...

• Syracuse 58, Georgetown 57. The 'Cuse advances to the Big East conference finals, and Jim Boeheim decides he's going to start cursing like a drunken sailor after every game....
Mark Cuban Is Keeping Busy
Mark Cuban fascinates me. He's a bazillionaire. He owns companies, he owns basketball teams... I think he might actually own a couple of people. And he could win a couple of Oscars tonight, as a producer for a couple of movies: Good Night, and Good Luck, and Enron: The Smartest Guys In The Room....

Tiger vs. Phil. Without The Phil.
They were tied heading into the weekend at the Ford Championship at Doral, and they played together on Saturday. And, as has become traditional in such situations, it didn't work out that well for Phil. Since teeing it up on Saturday morning against Tiger, Tiger's only ahead by 8 strokes....

Two More Teams Do The No-Pants Dance
In the Southern Conference (SoCon, as the kids call it) tournament final, Davidson beat the hell out of UT-Chattanooga, winning 80-55. It's nice for Davidson, who went undefeated in the regular season last year, but didn't win the tournament, and thus, did not dance. Brendan Winters had 33 for the...
Today In The 50-Yard Indoor War...
• Orlando Predators 59, Los Angeles Avengers 34. If you've been wondering what former Texas Tech QB Sonny Cumbie's been up to, not much has changed. He's still throwing 40 times a game for about 300 yards and 4 TDs. He's losing, though. The Avengers fall to 1-5....
Doug Gottlieb Makes Positive Contribution To Society
If you were looking for a new derisive term for the Duke Blue Devils and were growing tired of "Dookies," Doug Gottlieb may have improved your life last night. He referred to the Duke fellas as "Floorslappers," and it already appears to be a hit....

A Post About Nothing
Absolutely nothing. That's the news coming out of the NFL labor talks. They still don't like each other. They still can't agree. There's still not a lot of hope. I still don't care....
