If You Are A Projected Lottery Pick, You Should Never Ever Go Back To School
Oh, Jared Sullinger. I wish I had a time machine so I could go back to 2011 and give you this message and tell you all the mean things the draftniks are saying about you. Despite being a projected top 10 pick last year, maybe top five, you were stung by a brutal loss to Kentucky in the Sweet 16, and...
The Indoor Football League Suspended A Coach Because His Team Gave A Player A Ride In A 27-Year-Old Van
The Indoor Football League is quickly becoming my favorite professional sports league, though I use the term "professional" very, very loosely.

Jamal Crawford Literally Walks Out Of The Gym After Hitting Summer League Game-Winning Three
We have the Olympics this year, and a CBA, so summer league highlights will not be your only source of basketball highlights through Christmas.

Amateur Hour At The U.S. Track And Field Olympic Trials [UPDATE]
Allyson Felix and Jeneba Tarmoh are Olympic track and field hopefuls in the women's 100m event. Last night, Tarmoh was initially ruled to have finished ahead of Felix and thus Tarmoh came in third and Felix fourth. It's an important distinction because only three athletes are permitted to represe...
Kids Coach Little League Team To Championship
We live in a cynical world that sucks a lot most of the time. Then you read a story like this and it's like getting a shot of adrenaline.

If You Are A Catcher In The Steele and Cook Insurance Ohio Valley Baseball League, This Image Is Not What You Want To See
Reader Evan clued us into this June 21 story from the Times-Leader of Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Martins Ferry, Ohio, "A's Gang rallies again." That's a local news headline if I ever saw one. And this photo, boy, oh boy, is one hell of a local news photo....
LeBron James: World Champion Cocksucker
I know that last night was supposed to be LeBron James's face turn and that, while he warmly celebrates his first title with teammates and family, I'm supposed to see LeBron in a whole new light. Maybe he's not such a bad guy. Maybe this playoff run has brought out a depth of character heretofore un...

That's to say: To create great work, you must first work. Not everything you create will be perfect; in fact, most of it won't be. But you can't wait fo...
The NCAA Is Making An Example Of UConn Basketball
The NCAA needs to throw out a few numbers every once in a while to make it look like it's serious about the "student" half of the free labor it loves to describe as "student-athletes." For a while, the NCAA would publish graduation rates in accordance with financial aid-related legislation. Then the...
Know Your RedTube, And Other Advice: The Dadspin Guide To Internet Parenting
I have three children, the oldest of whom is web literate. She can work a mouse. She can open Chrome. She can type.
