Digger Phelps Does Not Like To Be Touched
ESPN's resident college basketball crank Digger Phelps has let some bad blood boil with fellow analyst Fran Fraschilla today—especially regarding how the North Carolina-NC State game ended—but Phelps's disdain for Fraschilla is no more apparent than in this clip, when Digger really, really does n...

Dogs Humping: Your Weekly Reminder That The Iditarod Is A Thing That Exists
Look at that face. What dog could resist it? That's General Thelma—an "all star" runner in the Iditarod—and she has been demoted from her lead position because she is in heat. It's spring and love the primal instinct to procreate is in the air, even in frigid Alaska....

It's A Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad Weekend: Your College Basketball Open Thread
I had this whole great thing written breaking down each game with the most mind-blowing analysis the world had ever seen, but internet connectivity issues ruined it all. Just know that it would have made Dick Vitale look like a gimmicky old man—it was that good. Anyway, here you go, chat down below ...
Last Night's Arena Football Season-Opener Was A Farce
Arena Football's 25th season kicked off last night, but it would be a stretch to call what was played in Orlando "football." A players' strike hours before kickoff meant both teams mostly used replacement players selected in a draft before the game, leaving NFL Network announcers without rosters a...

"It Ain't Midnight Yet, Y'all!": The Vocal Cord-Shredding Announcer Is Delightfully Pleasant Via Email
The man behind that voice is Brian Snow and he is just about the nicest person with whom you will ever exchange emails. I had a chance to pick his brain about life, sports and how he keeps that voice in pitch perfect condition earlier this week. He cut his teeth in Chicago, having attended Fenger ...
Peyton Manning Watch: Washington Redskins Out After Huge Pre-Draft Trade
Since Peyton apparently wanted nothing to do with him, it appears Dan Snyder has decided to unburden himself of a few first round draft picks in order to draft Robert Griffin III....
Big Nut Has Finally Accumulated Enough Flair To Be Employable At T.G.I. Friday's
Jon Peters—known to those in Ohio State enthusiast circles as Big Nut—makes regular appearances on television during Buckeye games due mostly to his ridiculous appearance.

Whatever Jenn Sterger Is Doing At <em>The Daily</em>, Please, God, Make It Stop
Jenn Sterger is sorta-famous for two reasons. First, she got herself on TV at FSU games wearing low-cut outfits. Second, she received photos of a penis that was almost certainly attached to Brett Favre. That's not what one would call a distinguished resume. But it's good enough to land a job at Th...

Colts Cut Five More Players, Can Now Afford Peyton Manning
Gary Brackett, Joseph Addai, Dallas Clark, Melvin Bullitt, Curtis Painter—all gone. The Colts could also free up another $14 million in cap room by either trading Dwight Freeney or terminating his contract. Too bad this offseason doesn't offer a big-time free agent to throw all that money at....

Heritage Auction Galleries in Dallas is currently offering a "miracle ball": a "1959 Exceptional Ty Cobb single signed baseball." (UPDATE, 6:40 EST: They pulled the auction. Screengrab is here.)

Rob Lowe Is On Vacation And Unable To Comment About Where Peyton Manning Will Sign [UPDATE]
On Jan. 18, Parks and Recreation star Rob Lowe reported that Peyton Manning would retire from the NFL that evening. We now know that report was erroneous. But we don't know that Rob Lowe isn't a source worth consulting on the topic of Peyton Manning's free agency. So we reached out to Lowe's publici...
