Jimmer Defeats San Diego State Fans Kim Jong-il And Miley Cyrus, Basketball Team
Neither being triple-teamed nor an opponent's revenge angle nor fans who claimed to have "some images of Jimmer as a chubby teenager" kept Jimmer Fredette from the swift completion of his appointed rounds. Today, that meant dropping 25 points on San Diego State University in BYU's 80-67 win over th...
Your Good Day For College Basketball Fans Open Thread

Enter Madness: Jimmer Fredette And Four More Will Play At San Diego State Tomorrow
The two greatest phenomena of this year's college basketball season, BYU folk hero Jimmer Fredette and 27-1 San Diego State University, will play tomorrow at 2 p.m. EST in San Diego's Viejas Arena. And not to cause one of those "ohmygodit'smaypril!" moments for you, but March begins on Tuesday, and...

Your Filth-Laden Deadspin Oscar Preview
Did you know one of the nominated movies on Sunday night is a disgusting Greek film that features hardcore incest? I did not. That's why I roped in Leitch to do a drive-by Deadcast previewing this year's ceremony, which is sure to be boring and stupid and contain any number of needless musical inter...

Matt Stairs Is The Once-Overweight Canadian Jim Thorpe
Most teams begin spring training games this weekend (or earlier—Manatee Community College (-200) vs. Pirates at 12:05 today). Until then, though, beat writers have to fill inches with features about new players with quirky stories....
This Was The Day Snow Tits Evolved Into Telestrator Tits
Halfway through the second period of tonight's Detroit Red Wings/Dallas Stars game, booth talk apparently turned to penalty-box shoulder pads. The end result: Telestrator Breastuses on what appears to be Mike Ribeiro of the Stars. (H/T Ryan C.)...
The Rutgers-USF Women's Basketball Game Ended With A Scuffle And Two Middle Fingers Last Night
With under a minute to play and her team up five against USF last night, Rutgers forward Chelsey Lee rebounded a missed shot and was promptly fouled — spiritedly — by Bulls center Porche Grant. The 6'2" senior kept advancing, and eventually got thrown out of the game with a flagrant technical foul...
Pre-Mamba Kobe's High School Highlights, To The Tune Of "One Shining Moment"
Before Kobe Bryant was a five-time NBA champion with a shoe contract and a short film, he was just a regular high school kid who was documented by famous sports photographers on his way to class and who brought R&B stars to the prom. To remind us of that fact, someone from his alma mater, Lower Me...

Everything Wrong With Soccer, In One Incredible Dive
Technically, Chilean U20 defender Bryan Carrasco didn't dive, as he was definitely struck by the Ecuadorian player. Problem is, Carrasco literally smacked himself in the face with the other player's arm. He received a free kick....
Wisconsin Beats Michigan With A Banked-In Three-Pointer At The Buzzer
Wisconsin's Josh Gasser beat Michigan with this shot last night, and probably ended their chances at an at-large bid to the dance, too. The look on the Wolverines' faces after the shot says it all: there really is no more demoralizing ending to a basketball game, if you're not on the side that chu...

Cubs Using Jeter, Pujols To Sell Tickets
We get the Pujols one; division rival, comes to Wrigley 10 times a year. But it's somewhat telling that the giant billboard, with room for the two biggest reasons to buy Cubs tickets, chooses Starlin Castro and Derek Jeter (in town for a lone interleague series)....

Jason Kendall Blows Up At A Reporter, Is Kind Of An Asshole
Yesterday, Nick Wright of 610 AM was interviewing Royals prospect Mike Moustakas when he asked him a wholly innocuous question about possibly starting the season in AAA to delay his arbitration clock. That's when Jason Kendall, not even part of the conversation, jumped in....
