UNC's Bobby Frasor Might Hurt Himself. Again.
The man preparing to jump off the roof into that fantastic above-ground pool is, according to some college hoops bloggers, University of North Carolina point guard Bobby Frasor. He's just having some fun, blowing off steam, as classes wind down for the semester at North Carolina. No harm, really — h...
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...
Bob Knight And Chris Berman, Together At Last
Bobby Knight has joined the other team. Nope, he's not announcing that he's gay, although I know that's what you were thinking. He's merely becoming what he has loathed most throughout his coaching career: A member of the sports media. Knight will become a studio analyst for ESPN for the NCAA men's ...
Bobby Knight Drinks Your Milkshake! He Drinks It Up!
So Bobby Knight is talking about his decision to resign at Texas Tech, telling the Lubbock Avalanche-Journal that he wanted to give his son, Pat, a running start as head coach.

Another Look At Bobby Fischer
Yesterday Rick posted on the death of the world champion chess master, Robert "Bobby" Fischer. While my colleague did a good job of memorializing the man's unparalleled accomplishments within the world of chess, his comments regarding Fischer's outspoken views against this country and my religion we...
Bobby Fischer's Endgame
"What is chess, do you think? Those who play for fun or not at all dismiss it as a game. The ones who devote their lives to it for the most part insist that it's a science. It's neither. Bobby Fischer got underneath it like no one before and found at its center, art." — Searching For Bobby Fischer. ...
Knight Reaches New Heights, Real Teams Play
Bobby Knight picked up win number 899 for his career yesterday and he marked the occasion by bringing his infant grandson to the post game press conference.

Bob Knight, Isiah Thomas And "Sunt"
An outstanding find from The Big Lead: An old video of Isiah Thomas, while honoring former coach Bobby Knight, explaining what he learned from the coach. The main thing he learned? The word "sunt."...
Bobby Cox And Friends
This picture was taken at a recent charity event in Atlanta for homeless pets. We cannot put a finger on why it mesmerizes us so, but man, it does. We feel like we just watched that home movie in "The Ring." And we're not sure why. But hey: No Chipper in the steroid report!...
Lawyer Milloy Is A Demon With The Red Pen
New Arkansas coach Bobby Petrino wrote this nice little letter to his team after bolting on them in the middle of the season. (Wisely, but still.) Falcons cornerback Lawyer Milloy was eager to add his own addendum....
Bobby Petrino Ends Up A Smashing Success In Atlanta
Ah, the halcyon days of January 7, 2007. Bobby Petrino was coming off a thrilling year as coach of Louisville, and he was seen as an offensive mastermind. He was Steve Spurrier, except, you know, he didn't mind working hard either. And then, very quickly, it all imploded....
Spiraling Down The Coaching Abyss
We remember, a few years ago, when Roy Williams (the coach, not the pizza delivery boy) left Kansas to coach North Carolina. That led to a cascade of coaching changes, with Bill Self at Kansas, Bruce Weber at Illinois and Chris Lowery at Southern Illinois. Four quality coaches, four quality programs...
There's Madness Behind The Mask
To help celebrate Bobby Cox's record 132nd career ejection (he was tossed again on Wednesday), Sons of Sam Malone compiled the Top 5 Manager Ejections of recent years. It is a fine list, a noble list, and makes me want to crawl on all fours and pretend to lob a grenade. 'But hey,' you may be saying ...

Bobby Cox On The Brink Of History
Bobby Cox tied the all-time Major League Baseball ejections record last night, getting tossed in a 2-1 loss against the Tigers. That makes a total of 131 for Cox, tying John McGraw, who was tossed 117 times as a manager and 14 more as a player....
Bobby Cox Likes To Leave Early Sometimes
With Barry Bonds depressingly close to breaking Hank Aaron's record, we turn our eyes to a much more noble and compelling all-time mark: Bobby Cox's quest to beat baseball's ejections record. He has been tossed 128 times, three away from John McGraw; our favorite stat is that he's 32 games away from...
Got Wood?
Nothing would delight us more than to see the return of the wooden bat in youth leagues and college. That's a lie actually; many things would delight us more. But about the bats ... the New York City school system has passed a measure to ban aluminum bats beginning this September (just in time for f...
Bobby Knight Unlocks Another Mystery
Bobby Knight sure has been chatty since breaking the all-time NCAA men's win mark. Here's his take on the whole Bill Parcells situation in Dallas. Parcells, a longtime friend of Knight's since their coaching days at Army, resigned earlier this week. The reason? It's all because of Terrell Owens, of ...
