Stuff White People LOVE: Duke vs. West Virginia Live Blog
The first two days of March Madness are amazingly fun in a crazy kind of way, but the best basketball is still to come.

Steven Hill Is Looking Awesome

Red Sox, A's Look Like They'd Rather Not Be In Japan
The Boston Red Sox and Oakland A's landed in Japan yesterday — their series starts Tuesday at 6 a.m. ET — after an 18-hour flight.

Shooting Weapons On Campus Is Always A Good Idea
This is Jorge Reyes, the Most Outstanding Player of last year's College World Series for the Oregon State Beavers. The Beavers are the two-time defending national champions, and they kind of rule the roost a bit over there. They also like to just randomly fire weaponry on campus. Hey, sometimes you ...

Friday NCAA Live Blog: 12:20 ET Games
All right, we've been told that the Gawker servers are ready to rock today, and we will have no more problems. We have faith!

For One Night, We Were All Vince Gill
The initial rush of excitement that the NCAA Tournament brings us often disguises the fact that the games themselves sometimes disappoint. The upsets we crave, the upsets that excite us about all this in the first place — the first weekend is always more of an "event" than the national championship...

What's Half A Year's Salary For An Image That Lasts A Lifetime?
Say what you will about the supposed coarseness of new media and today's supposed graceless sports culture, but at least we didn't go in and start snapping nude photos of future legends. That's Willie Mays. Almost nude. And it will cost you only 25 grand to see the real Say Hey junk....
