A year after it was confirmed by Giambi was taking steroids, he signed a nine-digit contract with the Yankees. Ask him, in da...
Adventures In Advertising
He may be an unspeakable cad in most parts of our great land, but San Francisco is still doggedly clutching Barry Bonds to its bosom. Call it denial, pride, myopia, whatever; from San Francisco's point of view, Bonds may be a cheater, but damn it, he's our cheater. For proof, let's head over to th...
One Depressing Sports Weekend
We don't mean to overstate this, but Saturday was a disappointing an evening for college basketball as we can remember. It's not just that George Mason lost to Florida, or even that they lost so convincingly. Their legend had been secured simply by making it to Indianapolis at all; any mid-major w...

The Value Of College Athletes
Ever wonder how much money an individual player was worth to a university? So did Robert Brown, a professor at Cal State-San Marcos who has spent 15 years studying the value of college athletes. He put together a formula to estimate how much members of last year's North Carolina and Illinois baske...

Just real quick, Seth Davis reports before the game that NC State's Herb Sendek is no longer NC State's. He's been offerred and has accepted the head coaching job at Arizona State. I think the Sun Devils just got one of the better coaches in the nation....
Cinderella Mauled By Gator
The lead is 13 with under four minutes to play. I just don't see it happening, Patriots. And you know, I'd be upset about it if you were losing to a less likable team, but I've no issues with Florida. If this was UConn, I'd be pounding my head against the monitor right now....

I didn't catch much of the halftime, but man... Adam Morrison is hurting. They gave him the Chevrolet Player of the Year, and I think the man is clinically depressed.
