Bob Costas Ain't Lyin', Y'all Are Losers
To keep the comments as fresh and outstanding as they've been up to this point, we've commissioned Commenting Guru Rob Iracane, co-editor of Walk Off Walk, to write a bi-weekly Comment Ombudsman column. It runs every other week. This is that week....
Bob Costas Addresses Last Week's Comments
Last night, while preparing for today's tournament lunacy and trying to find a picture of Mississippi Valley State's logo (he is Ming, and he is merciless), our phone rang. We didn't have time to answer it, so 20 minutes later, we checked our messages. It was Bob Costas. He wanted to discuss, on rec...

Purdue Boilermakers
1. The Baby Boilers Grew Up Before Our Eyes. At the beginning of the season we were positive we were watching an NIT Purdue team .. .or maybe a 12-seed, 19-win Purdue team. As the preconference season began, we looked genius as the Boilers struggled versus the "always tough" Lipscomb. Then the wheel...

Then Georgia beat Mississippi State. But Georgia has yet to qualify for NATO membership. • NBA: Pau, right in the ankle. Lakers ...
Boise State Broncos
1. I Just Flew In From Boise, and Boy Are My Legs Tired. Four days might not be near enough time for the Broncos to rest up for their first round game. They needed three overtimes and 107 points to put away the pesky New Mexico State Aggies and take the WAC's auto-bid. The good news is that it was o...

I, Like, Totally Had That Ball, Man (Cough!)
When Barry Bonds hit home run No. 762 at Coors Field on Sept. 5, 2007, notorious ballhawk Jake Frazier was in perfect position to grab it. As it's looking more and more like that will be Bonds' last homer ever, the ball is quite a prize; it's estimated that it could go for $1 million when it's put u...
Bob Costas Thinks You're A Loser
Some of you out there might like Bob Costas. Some of you might not. We've always been partial to the guy, not just because he's a St. Louis guy, and not just because he did the intro to the final episode of "Cheers," though that certainly helps. Costas is an obviously intelligent guy, if a bit smugg...

Live Blogs You'll Gleefully Skip: Illinois-Penn State
We know, we know: Nobody cares about a stupid liveblog of a pointless Big Ten tournament first round game. We're fully aware. As we mentioned yesterday, it's just, like, practice or something....

Racial Controversy In College Basketball? Certainly Not!
CBS Sportsline columnist Mike Freeman has taken issue with all of the media attention afforded to North Carolina's Tyler Hansbrough. So he wrote a column about it, and, as they say, hilarity ensued. It was a rather amusing rant by Freeman as he took aim at Dick Vitale, Sports Illustrated, and Bill ...
The Dangerous Life Of A Red Sox Beat Reporter
The Boston sports media, as able documented here regularly, is a sniping, insular, sometimes vindictive lot, not just to the players they cover, but often to themselves. It appears now, however, that the universe is striking back....
Who Wants To Sound Like Mutumbo?
By the way, there's all kinds of Rockets video goodness on the series of tubes today....
Get Ready For Knight Light, America
If you're near a TV around 8:40 (ET) this morning, it might be worth dialing up ESPN to witness Bobby Knight's unofficial debut as a basketball commentator. Knight will join Mike & Mike (there's a sentence I never thought I'd type) for a little NCAA hoops discussion. It's all a prelude to Knight's o...
