He has not, as of yet, managed to advance his appearance past that of "awkward high schooler" and it's long taken away from the credibility of his attempts to yell at ...
BYU Students Earned The Vaunted "Crowd Technical Foul" Last Night
St. Mary's moved to 21-2 overall and 10-0 in the WCC with a convincing 80-66 win over BYU last night, and the frustration of the Cougar faithful (pun intended) was no more evident than at the start of the second half—when fans throwing items on the court earned BYU a technical foul call....

The Best Way To Handle A Reporter's Dumb Question Is To Ask Him About His Wife's Infidelity

Larry Nance Jr.'s Jumpman Slam Was The Spitting Image Of Michael Jordan
Michael Jordan's the name most people associate with the NBA Slam Dunk Contest, but few remember it was Larry Nance who won the 1984 inaugural edition of the competition.

The Great Duke Attendance Scam
It's not really a scam; that's a sensationalist headline. Just jumping the gun on what will spend all day being a very dumb story.
