The Midwest Is The Regional Of Death; Or, Why Louisville Misses The "S-Curve"

Your 2013 NCAA Tournament bracket is out, and...huh. Forget your bracket pool—that'll be as impossible as always—this year it's tough enough just to predict a winner. Vegas is stumped, and a big part of that uncertainty comes from Louisville, the early favorite, being stuck in the stacked Midwest re...

Louisville Beats Villanova, Hangs With Bill Clinton

Fourth-ranked Louisville rolled over Villanova, a 74-55 trouncing that was both expected and cursory. It sets up a final four showdown with Notre Dame tonight, while Syracuse and Georgetown face off again in the other semifinal. While the Big East tournament isn't dead, it will be different. The cur...

Matt Cassel And Kevin Kolb Are Getting Cut

It's the end of two eras. Two sad, frustrating eras marked with wasted promise and ill-advised trades and inept quarterbacking. Matt Cassel was released by the Chiefs today, and the Cardinals are expected to cut Kevin Kolb by the weekend. The only question left is: which one of them will end up on t...

Twitter Loves The Orlando Magic, Has Never Heard Of The Arizona Cardinals

The Wall Street Journal has helpfully assembled the sort of slow-news-month story that lets you forget that none of the four major sports (five, if you include college football) is playing many meaningful games at the moment.

Bob Costas's Eulogy For Stan Musial Was Midwestern Sports Reverence At Its Finest

The gee whiz school of sports coverage has lost ground for years to the aw nuts crowd, largely because fans and media alike don't like playing the patsy to athletes' bogus lore. Lance was doping. Bobby Thomson stole signs. Manti was mourning a photograph with a nice voice. What's the world coming to...

Georgetown Beats Louisville In Game That Was 24 Seconds Longer Than Regulation And Came Down To The Final Possession

Fifth-ranked Louisville dropped its third consecutive game today to Georgetown in what was a one-possession struggle for the final six minutes of action.

Another Famous Samoan Football Player Slowly Backs Away From The Manti Te'o Scandal

We told you earlier how Arizona Cardinals fullback Reagan Maui'a told ESPN he had met Lennay Kekua, which is rather odd because she doesn't actually exist. But also buried in that report was Kekua's reference to another famous Samoan football player:...

Todd Haley Is Giving One Reporter A Giant Headache

We like NFL.com's Ian Rapoport—good guy, good sources, good track record. But nobody deserves the head-spinning confusion he's dealing with today, thanks to Steelers offensive coordinator Todd Haley, who might be interviewing for the Arizona Cardinals head coaching gig. Or he might not be. Or maybe ...

Here's UCF's Best Dance Teamer, Who Just So Happens To Be An Eight-Foot-Tall Man

It was so brief, we weren't sure we had seen it correctly, but reader Todd sent in the video: UCF's dance team seems to be organized around, if not led by, an extremely tall, enthusiastic and graceful male dance teamer.
