To Watch Tonight...
• Women's College Basketball. SEC Tournament Final. I'd look up who's playing, but... I don't want to. If you care, you already know. If you don't care, you're not going to. Fair enough? 7:30, ESPN2. • NBA Basketball. Utah Jazz @ New Orleans Hornets. Since "Jazz" was never really an appropriate moni...
So Much For That 2-Seed For The Salukis
Just one automatic bid was on the line today... even less than than that if you're of the belief that Creighton and Southern Illinois were probably both already in the tournament. The poor Salukis have won the MVC regular season championship five times in the last six years, but have won just one of...

• The Pistons owner gives $75 million to a Jerusalem hospital.

Bud Selig Is Trying Very Hard To Tolerate Your Bitching
Bug Selig, rebel bad-ass that he is, is taking a little bit of a contentious stance against the backlash towards the MLB's exclusive deal with DirecTV.

The Money's Out There, You Pick It Up, It's Yours

College Hoops Comendium: Four More on the Dance Floor
• Winthrop 84, VMI 81. VMI is the team that aspires to play like the Phoenix Suns on crystal meth. They average over 100 a game, and while it might have been fun to see them have a go in the tournament... they were 14-19, and didn't deserve the bid. Winthrop's now won 7 conference tournaments in 9 y...

Your Booing Is Crushing The Souls Of America's Youth
I've never really thought of booing as something that could do much psychological damage... you play on the road, you hear it, and that's how it goes. The booers, in most cases, aren't making any sort of judgment on you or the choices you made in your life, they're booing because you're wearing colo...
NFL General Managers Make It Rain

We Have Dancing Quakers
You can start filling out your tournament bracket ... at least one tiny little inconsequential part of it. The Pennsylvania Quakers have let their Inner Light guide them into the NCAA tournament. With their 86-58 win last night over Yale, Penn becomes the Ivy League champ, and thus, the first team t...

Who Wouldn't Want This On Their Mantle?
Because we've fallen into the strange rut about writing about the groin areas of men in our late-day posts of late ... here's another one!...
Fever Pitch ... Throughout History
The Sporting News has a good piece about the evolution of pitching, which we read with interest until seeing the dreaded word "gyroball," which tends to provoke in us the same reaction as the word "disco." But until then there are some fun tidbits, such as the fact that until 1881, the distance from...
