Meet The Future Mrs. Andy Roddick
This little lassie just got herself engaged to Andy Roddick (the one on the left.) Her name is Brooklyn Decker, a 20-year-old Sports Illustrated swimsuit exhibitionist, who's been dating Mr. Roddick for a little over a year now.

The NBA Playoff Hunt Continues, Predator Style
The NBA Closer is written by Matt McHale, who thinks you should go rent The Predator again. Immediately. Oh, and he also thinks you should read his stuff at Basketbawful. Enjoy! So you cooked up a story and dropped the six of us in the meat grindah! Michael Finley's shooting slump hit a low point l...
Your Unprecedented Chalktastic Final Four
Welp. Some sound Jayhawk defense forces Stephen Curry to give up the final shot and it goes left. Now we have the first ever all 1-seed Final Four. All the lay people filling out a bracket are thrilled....
Florida, Ohio State In The Final Four. Again.

Woody Allen Explains How Baseball Gloves Are Made
If you enjoy hearing kids repeat the word "leather" over and over (vaguely creepy), seeing Jonathan Winters in a Reds' uniform (like Frank TV, only funny), or listen to Woody Allen explain how to play second base, then you'll enjoy this old episode of Hot Dog; a Saturday morning kids' show from the ...
Derek Anderson Leaves Browns For Free Agency, Signs With Browns

This Collision Rated PG-13. Parental Disrection Advised
This reminds me of my friend Jim — with whom I was talking by phone just this morning — who, on a school overnight camp out when we were 12, somehow rolled into the creek while in his sleeping bag. He emerged later, to our delight like a giant soggy burrito, with no help from his friends. And if cam...

West Virginians Should Get Out Of The Conspiracy Theory Business
There's been a wave of sympathy for Michigan in the past year, and I for one hoped they were going to find a good solid coach from the lower ranks to bring up, like Ohio State did with Jim Tressel.
