Texas is on track to become the second state in the United States to take statewide legislative action to prevent transgender citizens from using the appropriate bathroom, as the House voted on Monday in favor of limiting bathroom choice in public and charter schools.
Wrestlemania is tomorrow in Dallas, but it was elsewhere in Texas that saw the slobberknockers tonight as Villanova smoked Oklahoma in the first Final Four semifinal. Here are some highlights of the game, as called by “J.R.” Jim Ross’s commentary in Wrestlemanias of the past.
Massive viewer complaints about glare from the Final Four venue ribbon boards on TBS’s broadcast led to the lights being blacked out late in the first half of tonight’s Oklahoma-Villanova semifinal.
So Wisconsin coach Bo Ryan said some sorta poor-sport-y stuff after his Badgers lost the NCAA championship game to Duke last night. In the video below, he can’t get through the pro forma talk of how much his graduating players meant to him without tossing in a passive-aggressive aside about how “we don’t do a…
We got a competitive national championship game, but not the one that we expected. In Jahlil Okafor and Justise Winslow, Duke has two players that are expected to go in the top 5 of the upcoming draft. But neither could stay out of foul trouble—they both finished the game with four—and seven minutes into the second…
Officials declined to find Trey Lyles guilty of a flagrant foul on this play, declaring it incidental contact.

Well, that kind of sucked.
Instead of hiring a celebrity to butcher the national anthem before tonight’s Final Four in Indianapolis, the NCAA went in another direction—bringing together athlete representatives from the four schools competing tonight. One of them, Wisconsin’s Vitto Brown, will actually be suiting up in a few hours. It doesn’t…
Just hours after a Kentucky fan told ESPN’s Kaylee Hartung that she was “gorgeous” during an interview, Michigan State cranked up the inappropriate behavior when a Spartans fan invaded Allie LaForce’s live shot to propose to the (already married) CBS reporter. We’re still hours away from tipoff, so let’s try and keep…
ESPN’s nonstop Final Four coverage has featured all manner of creatures on its airwaves, including Kentucky superfan Bill Morgan, who literally sees the world through Big Blue-colored glasses. Morgan’s excitement couldn’t be contained, though, as he told the WWL’s Kaylee Hartung that “...we love you. You’re…
Back in January, less than a week before the college football championship game, the NCAA announced that parents of players who made this year's College Football Playoff or Final Four were eligible to receive $3,000 in travel expenses. Now, a number of ADs are pushing to make the program permanent. We'd like to remind…
The last time you saw Rex Chapman probably was in this surveillance camera footage from September, showing the former NBA shooting guard taking things off the shelves of a Scottsdale (Ariz.) Apple store. Police said Chapman never paid for those items; instead they said he sold the more than $14,000 in stolen…
After a pretty exhilarating Elite Eight, we should be in store for three more exciting games to round out the college basketball season.
TiVo released a neat chart with the most rewatched moments from this year's Final Four. (Apparently, they have the ability to keep track of this.) The top three are from the championship game, naturally.
On Thursday, Burger King announced @letsgolakers086 as the winner of an all-expenses paid trip to this year's Final Four. It would be the highlight of a lifetime for many people, but it's just another March for this Los Angeles woman. After all, Wheat Thins sent her to the Final Four just last year.
This season's Final Four will be the first time the semifinals are broadcast on cable. With that move comes the freedom to try something new: For both of the semifinal games, fans of each competing team will receive their very own broadcast.
