Sean Salisbury, Moving On Down That Road, Man

What to watch while wondering whether the stuff on the ice is leaked fluid from a Zamboni, or more blood... • Pretty People and Their Writers: 80th Annual Academy Awards. You bet your sweet ass I'll be making my picks known. [ABC] • NBA: Bulls at Rockets. I'm going out on a limb and taking Houston. ...
There's Mutiny Brewing In Indiana, Apparently
There's an FTD flower delivery scheduled for Kelvin Sampson later this morning, but will it be the 12 Stem Mixed Rose Bouquet, or the Funeral Assortment? CBS Sportsline's Gary Parrish is reporting that it will be the latter: Indiana University athletic director Rick Greenspan will announce at a pres...
May Isiah Thomas Never Leave Us
We know it was mentioned in the NBA Closer, but we really have to delve further into what happened with Isiah Thomas and the Knicks in Philadelphia last night....
Top 10 Things That Are More Boring Than The Bibby Trade
In case you missed it - and that would have been easy to do - Mike Bibby was traded to the Atlanta Hawks last weekend. I sincerely hope you don't care, but in case you do, the Hawks sent starting point guard Anthony Johnson, 2007 first-round pick Shelden Williams, backup point guard Tyronn Lue, vete...

Lawrence Frank Might Have Been The Knight Mole
The Indiana-Purdue game tonight has the makings of a classic, with the surging Boilers heading into Bloomington to tick down the last dying days of Kelvin Sampson at Indiana. It's gonna be fun. And another subplot? How about Nets coach Lawrence Frank ... and Bob Knight?...
Oh, How Matters Have Changed In Bloomington
We're a bit late on this, but continuing the Indiana pile-on this morning, apparently this guy wore a "Bring Back Bobby" T-shirt to the Indiana-Wisconsin game the other night. And they made him take it off....
Ryan Dempster Says ... No Wait ... He Says ... Really ... The Cubs ... Ha ... Sorry, We Just Can't
You'll have to forgive us, considering this happened pretty early in the day yesterday, but, well ... sometimes we just can't help ourselves. We have to point out legendary romantic Ryan Dempster's bold proclamation for the Cubs this season....
French Bulldog Wins At Westminster, Later Shoots It Out With Cops
How often do we get the opportunity to mention Patricia Hearst, Jimmy Carter and the Westminster Kennel Club dog show in the same post? Very rarely. It all happened on Monday, as Hearst (or Tania to her friends) and her pooch Diva, the French bulldog, took one of the trophies at the Westminster Kenn...
Could Yahoo! Sports Get Folded Into ESPN?
Like many of you, we've been using Yahoo! Fantasy Sports Games for years; about a decade, actually. It's free, it's easy to navigate, it remembers all your past leagues and it's generally on the good side of the force. Unfortunately, with the news that Microsoft may be trying to buy Yahoo!, there's ...
Yeah, Well, Kelvin Sampson's Still A Jerk
We couldn't possibly agree more with legendary Illini basketball reporter Mark Tupper, who said, "at no time did I think Illinois was going to win that very exciting, very emotional basketball game with Indiana."
