There Are Ways To Support Your Brother That Don't Involve Murder
I really wish Demetrius M. Pepper was either less devoted to his brother, or better at stealing cars. Pepper shot and killed a 60-year-old woman, and shot a store clerk, in the process of stealing their cars so he could get to South Carolina's spring game and watch his brother Nathan, a junior Gamec...
Jim Harbaugh Has Some Breaking News, Dammit!
In case you didn't hear him the first time, new Stanford football coach Jim Harbaugh insists that it's not just wishful thinking on his part that Pete Carroll is about to begin his final season with USC. Harbaugh said it to CBS Sportsline earlier this week, then repeated it to the Los Angeles Times ...
Your NL Central "Preview"
Look, guys: We didn't pick the Cardinals! (We still think they'll win the wild card.) Yes, our flirtation with the Brewers continues; we actually picked them to win the wild card at midseason last year. So there's that....
Strangely, The Statue Is All Natural
See, this is why you should hold off of bronzing your players until they've been retired for a while....
Baseball Season Preview: St. Louis Cardinals
You might remember, from back at the beginning of the NFL season, when we previewed each team by having a writer we liked write about their favorite team....
Fun With Misprinted T-Shirts
This seems to happen every year, but we still get a kick out of it: It's the Final Four T-shirt that gets put together a wee bit too early. Forgive Hoyas fans who buy this as a taunting joke and Tar Heels fans who grab it just to imagine what might have been, had they remembered the basic tenet of p...
That's A Whole Lot Of Points
That was a lively little half of basketball. The pace, you'd have to think, favors North Carolina. There are 94 points on the board already, a total that has to be as uncomfortable for Georgetown as the 27 dogtags that Patrick Ewing Sr. is wearing....
Sweet 16 Pants Party: North Carolina Vs. USC
North Carolina Tar Heels (30-6) vs. Southern California Trojans (25-11) When: 9:57 p.m. ET Where: East Rutherford, N.J....
Go Heels! MIMI! MIMI!
This is from a North Carolina fanboard — and from Matt Viser's upcoming North Carolina Sweet 16 preview — but we absolutely cannot stop laughing at it. Tyler Hansbrough ... MIMI!!...
Even Geniuses Sometimes Forget To Put The Car In Park
So, you've just won your first non-earthquake-related World Series and are on top of the baseball world. You're preparing your team for a mostly unheard of (these days) title repeat. Everyone over the age of 40 thinks you're a genius, and everyone under 40 can't figure out why you still think it's c...
Come Out To The Ballpark ... And Die!
Talking your family to the ballpark can be a dangerous proposition. You could be hammered by a line drive. Lightning could strike the night you're honoring a great journalist. Milton Bradley could start pummeling you, just because it's a Tuesday....
Dodge Chargers Are Not Free, Gabe Watson
The Arizona Cardinals are loaded with nefarious characters these days. They've got womanizing quarterbacks, prostitute-soliciting assistant coaches, and now, a defensive lineman who sticks his old high school coach with his car payments....
Break Up The 76ers! (Again!)
Back when Allen Iverson was traded to the Nuggets, nobody was sure what it would mean for Denver, but everyone agreed that it secured the 76ers' spot as frontrunners for either Kevin Durant or Greg Oden....
NCAA Pants Party: North Carolina Vs. Eastern Kentucky
North Carolina Tar Heels (28-6) vs. Eastern Kentucky Colonels (21-11) When: Thursday, 9:40 p.m. Where: Winston-Salem, NC...
Bad Tar Heels, Bad!
Anyone who's married or in serious relationship can vouch for the difficulty of mixed allegiances; when you're a Cardinals girl, it's gonna be difficult sometimes for you to deal with a Cubs boy. (And not just because of all the crying.) Yankees fans and Red Sox fans can't mate; it's against the law...
NCAA Pants Party: Louisville Vs. Stanford
Louisville Cardinals (23-9) vs. Stanford Cardinal (18-12) When: Thursday, 12:20 p.m. Where: Lexington...
North Carolina Tar Heels
1. What's in a nickname? Monikers flow in a locker room like coffee in a diner. You're more than familiar with Carolina's first-team All-American, Tyler "Psycho T" Hansbrough. But can you recall the only player strong enough to hold Hansbrough in check this season? That would be unsung senior Dewey ...
Louisville Cardinals
1. Time to make the donuts. The Cardinals' late-season turnaround is due in large part to the emergence of Louisville's talented freshman class, including center Derrick Caracter. DC, who has footwork that Greg Oden would kill for, has gotten his act together after serving a pair of suspensions this...
Stanford Cardinal
1. Dynamic Duo. In everyday life, seven-foot Stanford twins Brook and Robin Lopez are mild-mannered freshmen on the Cardinal's basketball team (some say a bit too mild mannered). But while not hiding behind their secret identities, they enjoy writing and drawing homemade comic books. "They draw thei...
The New Buzzsaw Regime Supports Local Business
Richie Anderson, former NFL running back and recently hired as wide receivers coach of the Arizona Cardinals, was finding it difficult to make friends in his new community....
