Northwestern's Attempted Halftime Buzzer-Beater Didn't Go In The Basket, But It Did Hit Somebody In The Head
Northwestern's consolation for missing out on the NCAA Tournament was hosting one of tonight's opening NIT games against Akron. While they missed this attempt to score before the halftime buzzer, I'm pretty sure knocking the ESPN camera assistant's hat off is worth a couple hundred tickets at a N...
President Obama Called His Team's Shooting "Terrible," So MVSU's Kevin Burwell Hit A Three In Front Of Him Then Talked Junk
The first half of tonight's opening game of the NCAA tournament featured awful shooting by both teams, and President Obama rightly called out both Western Kentucky and Mississippi Valley State on it during his halftime conversation with Clark Kellogg. While some players might have considered that...

Dan Sileo, who responded to rumors of Jonathan Vilma, Cortland Finnegan, and Vincent Jackson coming to Tampa Bay with an excited "If they get those three monkeys, I'll be good," needs a new job. WDAE cut ties with Sileo today, a day after his remarks....
Fab Melo Is Ineligible Because Of Academics. Well, That's No Fun.
And here we were hoping it was something juicy keeping Melo out of the NCAA Tournament, like Jim Boeheim finally cracking down on the scourge of recreational marijuana usage, or Melo shooting a man in Reno just to watch him die. Syracuse's brief statement didn't shed much light:...

"Bullshit." "Ridiculous." "Pissing me off." "Hopefully it never happens again."...
JaVale McGee Does Goofy Thing, Lazy Thing, Awesome Thing All In One Sequence
I mean, this is the definitively JaVale McGee video, isn't it? The good, the bad and the ugly, all in the span of about ten seconds. JaVale gets hit in the face with the ball on the fast break, turning it over. Then he neglects to get back on defense. But wait! The Wizards get the steal and airmai...
AHL Player Turns Into Crazy Person, Decides To Fight Everybody And Their Goalie
Steve MacIntyre is one of those guys who's always up and down from the NHL, and garners more penalty minutes than scoring chances. So, even with the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins, he's exactly the sort you'd expect to completely lose his mind and challenge the entire opposing team to a fight. All...
In The Name Of Competitive Balance, The NFL Plays The Bully And The Tyrant
The NFL is a dictatorship masquerading as a benevolent dictatorship. In redistributing $46 million in salary cap space from the Redskins and Cowboys to the rest of the league, the NFL is enforcing laws that don't exist, playing Robin Hood with blackmail, and generally continuing a tradition of arbit...

An additional $1,600 in donations from loca...
Philadelphia Goalkeeper Zac McMath's MLS Season Did Not Get Off To The Best Start

Tampa Radio Host Hopes The Buccaneers Sign "Those Three Monkeys" In Free Agency [UPDATES]
Dan Sileo's your standard issue jock-turned-shock-jock, currently plying his trade at WDAE ("The Sports Animal") in Tampa. A former U of Miami lineman who had a brief stint in the pros, he got into a bit of trouble for exaggerating the length and importance of his NFL career....

Carmelo Anthony Did Not Want J.R. Smith On The Knicks
J.R. Smith has made quite the impression since signing with the Knicks last month. He's shooting 37 percent from the field and has already been fined $25,000 for tweeting a picture of the "girl with the biggest ass ever." But it's not like the Knicks weren't warned. The New York Post reports that Ca...

Opposing Team Pays Terrell Owens To Play Road Game, Promptly Knocks Him Over The Wall
Terrell Owens's contract with the Allen Wranglers stipulates he only has to play home games, but he's let it be known he can be enticed to hop on the metaphorical bus with the rest of his team if the opposition agrees to pay him separately. It appears that's what happened today, as T.O. took to th...

The Prospect Of A Kentucky-North Carolina Championship Game Blew Several Of Dick Vitale's Fuses
Dickie V's one of ESPN's most polarizing personalities, with people falling either on the side of adoration of his positivity or dismissal of his antics. But we can't quite say we've ever seen anything like what happened at the end of ESPN's NCAA Tournament coverage, in which Vitale had a complet...
NBC Stalks Tiger Woods's Car With A Blimp; ESPN Asks If Peyton Manning Was Riding Shotgun
Tiger Woods dropped out of today's final round at the Cadillac Championship, citing leg trouble before he drove away. In an apparent attempt to ascertain the degree of injury based on his driving, the Peacock Net tasked its blimp with chasing Tiger's car as it escaped Doral. It's unclear what's b...
