Cyclist Under Fire For Pinching A Podium Girl's Backside
Peter Sagan came in second in yesterday's Tour of Flanders, a one-day event that saw a thrilling duel come down to the last few miles. It's not Fabian Cancellara's victory that's making news today, though; it's Sagan's move to pinch the behind of a podium girl....
Louisville Beats Duke To Advance To Final Four
Jesus. That was a bizarre game. Louisville beat Duke 85-63 and will advance to Atlanta to play Wichita State. Obviously the tone was set with Kevin Ware's gruesome injury and it's difficult to really remember what happened before it. Lousiville had a 35-32 lead going in to the half and I had to loo...

Goodbye (For Now), Aaron Craft
Wichita State is going to the Final Four after dispatching with Ohio State last night. We thought we'd put together a goodbye for Aaron Craft but soon realized he's only a junior and surely not going to enter the NBA draft so, whatever, we're still doing it anyway. So long, Aaron. See you next year....

The Brewers Aren't Allowing Fans To Bring Their Own Porta-Potties To Games, Because The Free Market Means Nothing Anymore
The Milwaukee Brewers, willing handmaiden to America's racing sausage industry and one of a suspiciously low number of professional baseball purveyors in the state of Wisconsin, have coupled with Waste Management, Inc to violate an essential American freedom: The right to bring your own porta-potty ...
Trey Burke May Have Hit The Equalizer, But It Was Mitch McGary Who Played The Game Of His Life
Florida Gulf Coast stopped scoring at the wrong time, while Louisville and Duke won by maintaining solid, boring leads, so the chatter last night naturally turned to Trey Burke's remarkable game-tying shot against Kansas. Michigan clawed back from a 14 point deficit in seven minutes, Burke scored al...
Tony Romo Gets All The Money
NFL.com reports that the Cowboys have locked up Tony Romo as their quarterback for the foreseeable future, signing him to a six-year deal worth $108 million. We all know NFL contracts are dirty lies, and the only thing that matters is guaranteed money. Romo gets $55 million guaranteed. Holy balls....

Johan Santana's Mets Career Is Over
Johan Santana is done. He has another capsule tear, the same shoulder injury that sidelined him for all of 2011. He'll make the final decision this weekend whether to undergo surgery, the same surgery he had in Sept. of 2010, but this isn't the sort of thing that gets better with rest. He'll go und...

What The Hell: Jarome Iginla Traded To Penguins
We went to bed thinking Jarome Iginla was going to be a Bruin. Nearly every single rumor had the 17-year vet heading to Boston, and when Iginla was a healthy scratch for Calgary's late-night game, it seemed a fait accompli. The sun rises to find Iginla in black and gold, but without the Bruins' spok...

Worried About The Sochi Weather, Russia Has Begun Hoarding Snow For The Olympics
With the Olympics serving, in a larger geopolitical sense, as a jingoistic opportunity to laugh at everything that goes wrong, host cities sure spend a lot of time and money on the one thing they can't actually control: the weather. China reportedly seeded clouds before the 2008 games, so they'd exp...
The Evolution Of Dirk Nowitzki's Beard
Sometime in late January, Dirk Nowitzki shaved. That would be the last time, at least until the disappointing Mavericks clawed their way back to a .500 record. Well, after last night's overtime victory against the Clippers, featuring a season-high 33 from Dirk, Dallas is 35-36. The beard? It is out ...
When The Kings Visit The White House, Their Coach Will Yell At President Obama About The Keystone XL Pipeline
Does a championship team ever get much out of visiting the White House? A photo with the president? Some knickknacks, maybe? Usually it's not a whole lot. Unless you're Los Angeles Kings coach Darryl Sutter, and you own a 3,000-acre ranch in Alberta, and you seek Barack Obama's approval of the Keyst...
Tennis Player Stung By Wasp Right On The Backside
Florida: it's a horrible place. When Lauren Davis met Alize Cornet in the Sony Open at Key Biscayne on Sunday, the temperature was in the 90s with a solid wall of humidity. Both players were failing by the second set, and both players left the court in wheelchairs after Cornet's 2-6, 6-3, 6-2 victor...

The Brewers "won" the Kyle Lohse sweepstakes today, shoring up their rotation. So if Milwaukee fans are feeling optimistic about their team's chances, perhaps they'd like to wager their seats on it.
