To Watch Tonight
What to watch while boning up on the Letter From Birmingham Jail... • NFC Championship: Green Bay vs. New York. More on this to come. [FOX] • Australian Open, Salty 16. If Caroline Wozniacki is playing I might have to check in. [ESPN2] • Non-Sports: The Wire, a charming documentary on daily life in ...
Trojans Fit Like A Glove
If somebody tells you that they have a read on this USC team then you should feel free to tell them that they are full of shit. Last night they came in to Pauley Pavilion and took care of business against a heavily favored UCLA team that couldn't get anything to fall (33% from the field). Aboya, Mb...
Rick Majerus Will Show You His Billiken
I'm not sure what the monster is supposed to be in Cloverfield, but it can't be any more horrifying than this. From the pages of Sports Illustrated, via Larry Brown Sports, comes Tales of Nude Rick Majerus. Apparently the Saint Louis coach loves being naked, and it's not the good naked, as Seinfeld ...
Some LSU Fans Are Disgusting
If you haven't your fill of repulsive behavior from drunken white football fans yet this morning — because apparently that's all the rage now — this video should be enough to take the taco. Warning: You're about to be disgusted. (Seriously: That's a legitimate warning. Turn the volume on your com...
Cleveland State Snatches Victory Marshmallows
Screaming Vikings. The Butler didn't do it. Haven't had enough time elapse since the last use of bruised-cucumber infused beverage humor, unfortunately. Still, the Vikings did plenty of screaming last night, as Cleveland State knocked off No. 12 Butler 56-52. The win marked just the second time the ...
Greg Paulus Flops Like A Champion
If you needed any more proof that Duke will always, always be Duke, here's the egregious flops from Duke's Greg Paulus during last night's Duke-Florida State game....

Let's Start Thinking About The Tournament! Already!
It's mid-January, which means it's time to start speculating in earnest about the NCAA Tournament. Why not? We love the word "bubble."...
Who Needs Shoes To Coach A Basketball Game?
One of our favorite Chuck Klosterman ESPN columns asked a question we'd been wondering about ourselves: What happened to all the barefoot kickers? What an odd little trend that was; we kind of miss it. Apparently, we have only barefoot college basketball coaches as a replacement....

Inside The NFL Divisional Round
We have made no secret of our enduring love of The Dugout, both in its original incarnation and its current, non-expletive form at AOL Sports. But you think these guys just know baseball? Pshaw....
Politician On A Mission To Rid Toledo Of Any And All Peckers
So, big sports news here in Toledo. After the minor league hockey team went on hiatus, they're returning soon, along with an arena football team, in a brand new sports arena. And here's where you start caring, because the new football team might be called the Toledo Peckerheads....
An Illustrated History Of Roger Clemens' Boorishness
Those Congressional hearings are going on today, but we have a sneaking suspicion that none of you care about them — frankly, we don't either — so we're gonna focus on the type of discourse we enjoy considerably more: Pure, unadulterated hatred of Roger Clemens....
Saying Goodbye To Scott Rolen
Even though the infighting between Scott Rolen and Tony LaRussa made the trade pretty much inevitable, we were still sad to see Scott Rolen traded to the Blue Jays for Troy Glaus. We like Glaus, don't get us wrong; the guy's a better hitter, younger, has a more reasonable contract and isn't afraid t...

Darren McFadden's Parents Aren't Saying Nothin' About Nothin'
"Yes he is." "No he isn't." "Is too." "Is not." "Shut up." "You shut up." "No, you shut up first." "No, your mom's ugly." There, now you're officially caught up to speed on the ongoing struggle between Darren McFadden's parents and media reports alleging their son is turning pro after his junior yea...
If you're a fan of beatdown basketball, top-ranked North Carolina has a slight lead over NC State at halftime, 43-13. If this gets any worse, the Heels might put skip their bench players and just sub in the Saint Louis Billikens. [Yahoo! Sports] Update: NC State had kind of a better second half with...
It's Hard Out There For A Billiken
To put Saint Louis University's loss to George Washington on Thursday into perspective, portly coach Rick Majerus himself could have played point guard for the Billikens, and it wouldn't have hurt. Final: GW 49, Saint Louis 20. That's the lowest total for an NCAA men's team since the shot clock was ...
