Andrew Bogut, Looking Even Dumber
What you see right here is something that you cannot unsee: It's how Bucks center Andrew Bogut has decided to wear his hair now....
Come "Party" With Daequan Cook
According to the most recent — and, we presume, the final — NBADraft.net projection — Ohio State guard Daequan Cook is slated to be drafted tonight with the 22nd pick by the Charlotte Bobcats. We hope it works out for him, because he's hosting a party tonight, and it's totally gonna be embarrassing ...
Yep: The Kobe Video Guys Are Dorks
This site claims to have pictures of the two guys responsible for that increasingly lame "Kobe Video Rant", smiling with Kobe during happier times. (In other words, right before he spouted off and caused them to think you could sell 25-second video clips on the Web.) It's not confirmed that's reall...
Sometimes, You Forget Your Own Age. It Happens.
As we've mentioned before, soon to be No. 1 or No. 2 overall pick Greg Oden was the first human to spring fully formed from the womb, with a beard. And if his interview with "ESPN First Take" — it's like "Cold Pizza," only with a less dumb but more pointless name! And it's not in New York anymore! —...
This Is Why We Should Arm All Umpires .. And Mascots
You know what would make baseball even more popular? Regularly scheduled gunfights! In East Texas, a rec league game turned into a hail of buckshot....
Alex Rodriguez Trying To Steal Jeter's Boyfriends
So everyone's all in love with A-Rod again, considering he's the only thing keeping the frayed Yankees even competitive right now — the Yankees are under .500! Head for the hills! — and he's smacking the ball around every stadium like he just knows it's April. But he's not just trying to help himsel...
Ohio State Grapplers Like To Shake It
So last week, the Ohio State wrestling team entered into some talent show that was judged, along with others, by Buckeyes football coach Jim Tressel (he's also judging the talent show at Maurice Clarett's prison). It wasn't necessarily a bad year for OSU wrestling, but if this video is any indicatio...
Another Way To Assure Your Child A Life Of Misery
In an example of creative nomenclature that could only have come from Ohio, a couple has named their child "Tressel Hayes Huffines."...
Looking To The Past To Overcome The Present
Now that Florida has won its second national title in a row, everybody's an amateur historian — which is good, because sports would be no fun if it has professional historians. The big question: Are the Gators one of the best teams ever? The answer of course is that there is no answer, which is why ...
At This Rate, Florida's Gonna Win An Oscar This Year
It was rather difficult not to admire Greg Oden in this game, but Florida, man, those guys are good. Not the epic game we were hoping for ... but when you go 4-for-22 from the 3-point line, it doesn't really matter if you have a 64-year-old Bill Russell under the basket....
Give Us At Least ONE Shining Moment. One Will Be Fine.
All right, well, we think we can all agree that, as sports fans, we are owed an epic national title matchup tonight. This has been the least memorable NCAA Tournament of the last decade — except for those ones we can't remember — and the only thing that can salvage it is a Connecticut-Duke or George...
NCAA Championship Game Blogdome: Let's Play Two
What they're saying, blogwise, about tonight's National Championship game ......
What A Win Tonight Would Mean: Ohio State
A national title, or a championship in any sport, resonates for years beyond just one small victory for a group of tall men. It stands for something not just in athletics, but for a university as a whole, a matter of civic pride, an achievement disparate groups of people can all stand alongside, joy...
Buckeyes Tend To Look Old
The man on the left, Ohio State head coach That Matta, is two years younger than the man on the right, Florida coach Billy Donovan. There must be something in the water in Columbus that ages people prematurely. At this time next year, Mike Conley Jr. is going to look like Laurence Fishburne....
The Final Four Open Thread
I'm afraid I won't be with you for tonight's basketball festivities — I decided to try actually watching a game without a keyboard in front of me. I don't know what that's going to be like, but I've heard it's wild....
Prepare For 33 Percent Less Joe Buck
It looks like those who feel you have just the right amount of Joe Buck in your life are about to be disappointed: He's not hosting the FOX pregame this upcoming football season....
Afterwards, They Made Him Eat Actual Buckeyes
This is an old video, but it never fails to crack us up and remind us, when we are watching Ohio State play a sporting event on the largest possible stage, just what kind of people are rooting for them. We love how they jump in joy after it happens....
From A Rote Tourney Comes A Thrilling Final Four
Of all the little traditions of college basketball, our favorite might be the cutting down of the nets. It's something unique to the game of basketball; in other sports, it's the fans who cause the on-field destruction after a victory. (And we're damn good at it too.) We do always worry a little abo...
