March, when hope springs eternal, and fans of even the most down-and-out teams can convince themselves that somehow, someway, this might be the year.

Dan Snyder And Mike Shanahan Fly To Waco, Immediately Go To Hooters
Today is Baylor's pro day, when Robert Griffin III (and some saps who aren't RGIII) will showcase their wares for any scouts who want to come watch.

Now There's A Lehigh Rap Song, And It Refers To Duke As A Safety School
Courtney Leffall (aka DJ Hump) made a deal with fellow Lehigh alumnus Kyle Adams: If the Mountain Hawks beat Duke, Leffall would do a freestyle rap about it. Well, here it is.

The D Train Doesn't Stop Here Anymore: Farewell, Dontrelle Willis, Crazy-Armed Everyman
The pitchers who wow us these days don't remind us of anything familiar. Most of MLB's sharpest aces—Justin Verlander, Jered Weaver, Roy Halladay, Clayton Kershaw, and C.C. Sabathia—were first-round picks, blessed with a freakish ability to throw much harder than their competitors, and groomed for m...

The Dolphins Have Spent An Offseason Humiliating Themselves
Believe me when I tell you that I say this with zero malice: the Dolphins are a pathetic franchise at the moment.

Ernie Els was in contention for at least a playoff at the end of the Transitions Championship today at Copperhead Course in Innisbrook Resort in Palm Harbor, Florida.
