All right, we spent pretty much every waking moment this weekend cooking this up for you, so we hope you like it....
Saying Goodbye To Crazy John Chaney
Right now, at a press conference in Philadelphia, Temple coach John Chaney is retiring after more than 1,000 games coaching. This makes us sad, not just because Chaney has been a valued leader of young men for decades, but also because he's been a rather unending source of amusement....
For Those Of You Who Care About The WBC
We fairly certain you weren't watching it — because it was, inexplicably, programmed opposite the release of the bracket yesterday — but Team USA beat Japan in the World Baseball Classic 4-3 on a game-winning hit by Alex Rodriguez, of all people....
Wither The Bearcats? (And The Wolverines ... And The Seminoles ... And The ...)
We're not quite sure how this whole RPI thing works — foolishly, we did not major in bracketology in college — but we know a pissed-off coach when we see one. Cincinnati's Andy Kennedy is none to pleased with his Bearcats being left out of the NCAA Tournament, and unless we miss our guess, right a...
We're Mad, We Tell You ... MAD!
Well, the most exciting graphical representation of a mathematical application has now been unleashed upon us. The NCAA Tournament is finally here. We're going to be looking at different sections of the bracket today, but first we'd like to talk about two people: Billy Packer and Joe Lunardi....

A Movie On ESPN That Might Not Suck
I'm looking forward to "Through The Fire," ESPN's documentary about the life of Sebastian Telfair during his senior year of high school. It won Best Documentary Feature at the 2005 Urbanworld Film Festival, the Audience Award for Best Documentary at 2005 AFI Fest, and was a Spotlight Selection at ...
Crazy Sunday
There are five more championship games on tap today on Selection Sunday. We've got the SEC, the ACC, the Big 12, and the Big Ten. Oh, and of course, the Southland championship game is today, which forces the selection committee, in their all-day meetings, to write "whatever suck-ass team wins the ...
About Last Night...
• NBA: Pistons 92, Wizards 110. The Wizards have now beaten the Pistons twice, which I find confusing. Gilbert Arenas must be really mad at Flip Saunders....
Sports Bras Of An Entirely Different Nature
The Japanese are just so far ahead of us in their ability to turn seemingly innocent things into something naughty. First Hello Kitty, and now this. Our national pasttime has become a theme for their undergarments. I have some baseball glove conditioning oil, and I'm willing to help break it in....
More Reasons To Watch The WBC
One of the anti-Castro protesters at the WBC has posted his first-hand account of the incident here. This guy had a sign that said "BASEBALL PLAYERS YES, TYRANTS NO" that he held up to the Cuban baseball players about an hour before the game. He says the sign drew a chuckle and a thumbs-up from o...
Eye Of The Wildcat
I have asked for video of the Allan Ray eye injury last night, and you guys have responded like champions. Thanks to all of you who sent in links, but this is the best one I've gotten. All I can say about the video is AHHHHHHHH! AHHHHHHHHH!...
Squeaky Johnson Was Not Well-Oiled
Memphis won the Conference USA tournament this afternoon with a 57-46 victory over the UAB Blazers and my favorite name in the nation, Squeaky Johnson. Squeaky finished with just four points on 2-of-10 shooting. The win probably wraps up a 1-seed for John Calipari and the Tigers....

Florida State Seminoles
1. Jennifer Sterger And Her Friends Are Not The Hottest Girls On Campus. And it's really not even close. The FSU Cowgirls are certainly the most famous pretty faces on the Internet from FSU, but a stroll through campus reveals that girls as attractive as Jen and her pals — or moreso — are pretty com...
Michigan Wolverines
1. Head Coach Tommy Amaker Is Squeaky Clean. That's what you would expected for a four-year starter under Mike Krzyzewski. But as good as Amaker played at Duke, he and the other five former Duke assistant coaches under Mike Krzyzewski have 13 NCAA appearances in the equivalent of 53 seasons to their...
