Either Somebody Comes Up With $25K By Friday Or UConn's Championship Parade Is Off
It's one thing to win what ranks among the worst men's college basketball championship games ever.

Mets Games Plastered With Commercials From This Charming Bankruptcy Lawyer
Everything about this commercial is just so Wilpon-era Mets: Attorney Pankin's accent, his super-starchy collar, his gait, forced as though Tsuyoshi Shinjo's lucky bat is wedged up his ass. And of course the graphics are old, schmaltzy—the only surprise is that they don't evoke the glory days of t...

<em>Wall Street Journal</em> Photoshops Signs Of Phillies Fans, Misapprehends Minds Of Phillies Fans
Well, this is embarrassing. The Wall Street Journal ran a story last Thursday about how Phillies fans have mellowed on the Mets. The article was a re-write of a story that appeared two days earlier in the The Philadelphia Inquirer. Fair enough. Perhaps Philadelphians behave like that now, although a...
