Gamblers Can Finally Take a Deep Breath

Just as it looked that Cleveland would run out the clock (if Romeo can't win he can...

Bob Ryan Is Drunk On Basebahol
I've always had a soft-spot for Bob Ryan. Oftentimes I disagree with the guy, but I love the way he puts himself out there (like with Juwanna Joumanna Kidd!). I want you to know that I respect Mr. Ryan and I wouldn't every want to unfairly malign the man. But either the Fenway press box was pouring...
Breaking Down Pacquiao/Barrera II
Last night I decided that if I was going to spend $60 on this fight then I might as well offer you my thoughts on the action as it goes down.

Defective Trojans Produce Disastrous Results
Ho-ly shit. In what can only be described as delightful surprise the Stanford Cardinal (Stanford!) upended USC in the biggest D1-on-D1 upset of the season decade.
