See? Sometimes Your Life Can Get Better Once You Leave The NFL Behind
Note to those NFL players concerned about what to do if there is no 2011 season: start jotting down those lucid thoughts before the encephalopathy takes hold. It's good advice because Nate Jackson, former NFL player and writer for places of both distinction and ill repute, has just signed a book dea...
UFC 128: A Hero Is Made And Dollars Are Born
NEWARK — Newark is as close as the UFC can get to New York City, but it's still too far.

Ray Allen, Carmelo Anthony Go Down Bloodied; Big Baby Davis Just Pretends
In a chippy game, Ray Allen needed seven stitches after an elbow from Jared Jeffries, and Carmelo Anthony got five of his own after running into Rajon Rondo. Glen Davis? He just wanted someone to kiss his boo-boo like the better players, so he flopped after a phantom elbow....
The Giants' Season Ticket Amnesty And The Tyranny Of Good PR
This broke late last week, but we were too busy paying attention to actual sporting events to deal with it.

This Is How You Looked In 1990, America
This isn't sports, beyond a Mets kid and what I believe is a Randy White Cowboys shirtsey. But it is America, in the summer of 1990, as pictured at your local mall. As someone who wasn't old enough to be dressing myself in 1990, I can say: shame on you, past people. [How To Be A Retronaut]...

Eternal Sunshine Of The Luis Castillo-Less Mind
Today the Mets released Luis Castillo, and will try to forget the last three-and-a-half years ever existed. For my money, the maligned and malignant second basemen best represents the Mets' years as a black hole of a franchise. They'll have to eat his remaining $6 million, and it's worth it. Much li...
Derrick Rose Dunks, Reminds Us That NBA Does Not Suspend Play For March Madness
Derrick Rose is so very fun to watch. Here's a give-and-go from Chicago's 84-73 win over New Jersey last night in Newark.

Since we did our very best to ignore the play-in games, the NCAA men's tournament officially kicks off with Clemson-West Virginia today just after noon EDT on CBS. In the olden times, watching the opening game required a 3D television (and by that I mean, of course, one that was more than three inch...
Let's Marvel At D-Wade's Two-Handed Dunk, And Laugh At His Celebration In A Game They Would Lose
Wade's vertical should be measured in Bibbys instead of inches here, throwing one down (way down) in the second quarter of last night's game against OKC. Are we bringing back the Cabbage Patch? Let's not bring back the Cabbage Patch....
