This Is How You Looked In 1990, America
This isn't sports, beyond a Mets kid and what I believe is a Randy White Cowboys shirtsey. But it is America, in the summer of 1990, as pictured at your local mall. As someone who wasn't old enough to be dressing myself in 1990, I can say: shame on you, past people. [How To Be A Retronaut]...

Of Tangled Bibs And The Human Condition

Barack Obama Is An Irresponsible Anti-American Frat Boy, According To Pro-American Internet Commenters
President Obama filled out a March Madness bracket earlier in the week. Soon after, Newt Gingrich told Sean Hannity that Obama had "this fixation with the Final Four" and Fox Nation posted a story with the headline "Japan Melts, Libya Burns, Deficit Grows ... and Obama Fills Out NCAA Bracket." All t...

And we're back for more! Yesterday's gameplay was put on hold due to green beer being dumped all over our servers (or something), which means that today we've got double the drama. Grab your band-aids, because these match-ups will cut… [Jezebel] ...
Your Open Thread For The Second Block/Batch/Wave Of NCAA Tourney Games
Memphis-Arizona, Hampton-Duke (in Charlotte), FSU-Texas A&M, and UTSA-OSU. Fun fact: late afternoon is always the lowest-rated block of games on TV. It's why you see a ton of mismatches there, and we could be in for a few blowouts today. Let's hope not: go Hampton....

Barry Bonds Is Probably Guilty Of Being A Prick
The prosecution in the case, which begins jury selection today, really wants to make this trial about that. But it's not. It's not about steroids either, actually.

Eternal Sunshine Of The Luis Castillo-Less Mind
Today the Mets released Luis Castillo, and will try to forget the last three-and-a-half years ever existed. For my money, the maligned and malignant second basemen best represents the Mets' years as a black hole of a franchise. They'll have to eat his remaining $6 million, and it's worth it. Much li...
Tampa Bay's Dwayne Roloson Makes Incredible Save, Compelling Case That Hockey Is Also Still Going On
Here's a great save from Dwayne Roloson in the Tampa Bay-Montreal game that somehow found a channel to exist on last night. The Canadians won in a shootout, 3-2, so Habs fans will not get the chance to protest the NHL's overtime rules....

Today's Viewing Guide For March Madness: Office Tricks, Game Schedules, And Gus Johnson

Derrick Rose Dunks, Reminds Us That NBA Does Not Suspend Play For March Madness
Derrick Rose is so very fun to watch. Here's a give-and-go from Chicago's 84-73 win over New Jersey last night in Newark. It's a great play to watch because it's perfectly fundamental — he plants right, cuts left, and lets out a playground "woop!" for the pass from Kurt Thomas. Rose had 21 points ...
