College Hoops Compendium: Beaver Exposure
• Iona 69, Rider 57. A bunch of teams got big wins yesterday... NC State, Texas A&M, USC, Colorado, South Florida. But I doubt that any of the winners of those games felt as good as the Gaels of Iona. Coming into the day with an 0-22 record, as perfect as untouched snow, the Gaels were finally able ...
Michael Irvin, Unplugged
Here's the Michael Irvin speech that I promised earlier ... just a few highlights that could be considered ironic, but for the most part, it's actually quite endearing. It's a heartfelt speech, and, to the best of my knowledge, the first time that Bishop T.D. Jakes was mentioned at a Pro Football Ha...
The Hall Of Fame Is Going To Need A Champagne Room
This one's going to be tough for Redskins fans to swallow. Michael Irvin, in his third year of eligibility, is going to be inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame. He was one of six players selected for Hall induction today, along with Gene Hickerson, Bruce Matthews, Charlie Sanders, Thurman Tho...
Daulerio at SBXLI: Yes, Somehow Freddie Mitchell Got Into the Maxim Party
Maxim's Superbowl Shitshow party was everything one could hope for and so much more.

Sorry Nick, We're Just 'Not Feelin' It'
Hot quarterback prospect Robert Marve of Plant High School (Tampa, Fla.) isn't going to Alabama after all. Such is the magical allure of new Tide head coach Nick Saban, who played host to Marve's recruiting visit recently and obviously told one of his folksy, down-home coon-ass stories that everyone...

Prepare Thyself For Dice K
Red Sox fans, take heart: You can now see Dice K himself, Daisuke Matsuzaka, pitching in a Red Sox uniform, kind of. In this ad for Asahi beer — we love that people can physically drink the beer in Japanese commercials — Dice K dons the duds and even throws a pitch, albeit with some less-than-convin...

He Was For DirectTV Before He Was ... Oh, You Know The Joke By Now
We had pretty much already given up hope on anyone noticing or caring that Major League Baseball was selling out its most die-hard fans for a quick buck. Just another of those times when we all get stepped on; as sports fans, we should probably be used to it by now....
New ABA Coach Has Cleanest Rain Gutters In His Neighborhood
We love the Dodge City Legends' motion offense; the one in which their center sets picks at the top of the key. Because it's important to keep the tallest player in the history of organized basketball as far away from the basket as you can at all times. You've probably heard of Sun Ming Ming, a nati...
Ah, To Be Able To Scream, Dance And Touch Athletes' Heads Again ...
This video, shot after Indiana's upset victory over Wisconsin last evening, is mostly grueling to watch, and definitely has that Blair Witch shaky-nausea feel to it. But, even though it is hated Indiana, we couldn't help but be charmed by the great college tradition of rushing the court after a big ...

Nick Saban's Odd Way Of Bonding With Reporters
Curious how new Alabama coach Nick Saban could possibly become less popular? (Well, other than screaming "Roll Tide!" while having sex with two strippers.) Well, check out this audio from an "off-the-record" chat with reporters about the whirlwind of Saban hate coming out of Miami right now....
Bonds Contract: Baseball's Version Of A Constitutional Crisis?
So someone took the time to actually read the contract that Barry Bonds signed with the Giants on Monday, and they made a startling discovery. According to the fine print, Bonds not only must play both ends of any doubleheaders, he must dress as Paula Abdul in the second game. Also, there's this:...

An Entirely Different Kind Of Monkey Suit
Sorry, ladies of Boston: Your hopes of bedding the youngest GM in baseball history, the man partly responsible for the Red Sox World Championship and one rockin' guitar hero are over. Red Sox GM Theo Epstein went out and got himself secretly married last month....
