Not A Good Week To Quack
Credit this morning goes to Adam Rank at The Fanhouse, who correctly predicted St. Mary's upset of Oregon last night. See? This blogging thing is easy....
Yet Another Reason Never To Visit Hawaii
OK, maybe Duke's a little better than we realized. And maybe Illinois still hasn't learned how to shoot. Here you see Brian Randle, fouling someone, as usual. Duke's good again, everybody: Spread the word. Then cringe....
Welcome Back, Duke Haters
We know the college basketball is officially underway because ... everyone's Duke bile is building! We've missed it; it's nice having villains, even if they haven't actually done that much lately that was particularly villainous....
After They Lock Up All The Cricket Stars, Are All Of Us Next?
The "Brad Pitt of cricket," Imran Kahn, has been thrown into prison by Pakistani President Gen. Pervez Musharraf for speaking out against the government, and is now on a hunger strike. You thought American politics were a mess? Imagine if Tom Brady was thrown in the slammer for his political views, ...
That Gripping AFC West
We will confess, we did not watch the Monday Night Football game last night; we had a concert, the Illini were on and, frankly, we're gonna get enough football in the coming days. But we take solace in knowing there's a division worst than the Buzzsaw's NFC West....
New Jersey Nets Basketball: Don't Stop Believ —
A lot has been made of the New York Knicks' woes, and rightfully so. But what of the New Jersey Nets? Monday's 102-75 loss to the Jazz was the Nets' sixth straight. I'm only glad that Tony Soprano didn't live to see this....
Sure, He's, Uh, Doing Some Bobcats Scouting
We were busy at this show tonight, so we're late on the uptake, but we will say this: We don't think we'll ever get used to seeing Michael Jordan wearing Illini colors. We wonder if Tar Heels fans will ever get used to it either....
Here We Are, Back In Denver Again
Jeez, didn't Denver just host a "Monday Night Football" game? That's right, they did, just three weeks ago, in the game when Brett Favre made everyone all weepy again. We thought we remember that....
Mike Tyson's Full Day In Jail
We're not sure why, but we feel compelled to write about Mike Tyson today. You could pretty much write about Mike Tyson every day, or never write about him at all, and you'd still satisfy all sides....
Fight! Fight! Fight!
• Catching up on Cotto vs. Mosley. Wow, that fight was actually better than I was led to believe. The first six rounds might have not produced knockdowns or blood but they were some of the most intensely competitive rounds I've seen in quite some time . It's not often that you get to see two fantast...
Siena Chops Down the Stanford Cardinal
You probably know Siena best as one of the sacrificial lambs of March Madness, yet on Saturday they knocked off a solid Stanford squad. The win is quite possibly the biggest for the Saints since their huge NCAA Tournament upset of the same Cardinal program almost 19 years ago. Siena had four players...
Coach Cal Defeats Coach Calhoun, Cancer
Both Derrick Rose and Chris Douglas-Roberts notched career highs in scoring en route to Memphis's 81-70 win over Connecticut in the finals of the 2K Sports College Hoops Classic benefiting Coaches Versus Cancer. Douglas-Roberts led the way with 33 points to put away Jim Calhoun's Huskies in the se...
This Is Why People Hate High School
Everybody knows that the only thing on earth better than cheerleaders are cheerleaders who flash some ass. Despite this universal understanding the Modesto City Gestapo School Board are allowing cheerleaders to be suspended for flashing their panties....
To Watch Tonight
What to watch when not even Subserviant Chicken will obey your requests ... • College football: Hawaii at Nevada. Honolulu and Reno ... practically identical in every way. [ESPN2] • College basketball: 2K Sports College Hoops Classic, at New York, third-place game; Championship game (Memphis vs. UCo...
Sign Here, So That We Might Own You
SI's Seth Davis, whom we always enjoy, brings up a point we've been wondering about for a while: Why in the world would anyone in the real world sign one of those letters of intent they make new college basketball recruits sign....
Break Up The Blue Jackets!
It's the NHL Closer. We pass the mic to the kids at Orland Kurtenblog. Their NHL Closer is written by Canadians for Americans....
Packers Bong Guy Keeps Putting Lotion In The Basket
You may remember the not-at-all-creepy fellow who celebrated Brett Favre's 420th touchdown in the only appropriate fashion. Well, he has a new hit video, in honor of the Packers' shellacking of the Vikings last week....
At Last, Proof The Book Will Actually Exist
We're going to do our absolute best to not overdo the whole book promotion thing — it's out January 22 and is available for pre-order on Amazon.com — but we haven't shown you the cover yet (that's it, by Jim Cooke, of course), and we're doing our first public reading tomorrow night. So we thought yo...
David Wright Has A Head Wound
We don't have the slightest idea what the heck David Wright was doing wearing his ninja hat on SNY last night ... but heavens, man, that kid's gone plum crazy. UPDATE: Turns out, this was in honor of cancer patients. Yes. Ahem. Well then. We're dicks.)...
