As Usual, Politics Ruins Everything
We don't like to get political out here — at all — but we did find this document amusing, right on the cusp of the NCAA tourney. It's a comprehensive look at the political contributions oif major sports figures. We don't think this information means anything — other than that it's hysterical that ...

Welcome To Our Tourney Extravagaza. Or Something Like That
All right, we spent pretty much every waking moment this weekend cooking this up for you, so we hope you like it....

Saying Goodbye To Crazy John Chaney
Right now, at a press conference in Philadelphia, Temple coach John Chaney is retiring after more than 1,000 games coaching. This makes us sad, not just because Chaney has been a valued leader of young men for decades, but also because he's been a rather unending source of amusement....

Wither The Bearcats? (And The Wolverines ... And The Seminoles ... And The ...)
We're not quite sure how this whole RPI thing works — foolishly, we did not major in bracketology in college — but we know a pissed-off coach when we see one. Cincinnati's Andy Kennedy is none to pleased with his Bearcats being left out of the NCAA Tournament, and unless we miss our guess, right a...

A Movie On ESPN That Might Not Suck
I'm looking forward to "Through The Fire," ESPN's documentary about the life of Sebastian Telfair during his senior year of high school. It won Best Documentary Feature at the 2005 Urbanworld Film Festival, the Audience Award for Best Documentary at 2005 AFI Fest, and was a Spotlight Selection at ...

Edgerrin James Signs Up For 4-12
The Arizona Cardinals - or as I'm mandated to call them, the Buzzsaw - have signed Edgerrin James to a four-year deal. Financial details aren't available, but I'm guessing it takes a hell of a lot of money to get a marquee player to sign in Arizona. It's the biggest splash the Cardinals have made...

LeCharles Bentley Is Pretty In Brown
Day one of the NFL's free agent season was fairly quiet with none of the really big names finding new homes. The Cleveland Browns have made the biggest splash so far, singing offensive linemen LeCharles Bentley, Kevin Shaffer, and wide receiver Joe Jerevicius....
