Your AL Central "Preview"
Everyone says it's the toughest division in baseball, but we think it's just the mostly hotly contested: You could pretty much interchange any of those top four teams and not sounds like a fool. But those Royals ......
Joe Buck, The Billboard With A Heart
So here's an inventive idea, straight from our Jack Bauer-torturing friends in China: Rather than slapping corporate logos on the players, just slap 'em on the announcers....
Ronald, Wooden And Some Teenagers
Last night was the McDonald's All-American Game in Louisville. It attracts a colorful, surreal crowd....
Clog, The Illini Way
Our father's birthday is in August, and we were trying to figure out what we should give to him. It's difficult to shop for Dads; we're not sure there's any Cardinals merchandise left....
We Welcome Our New Ultimate Fighting Championships Overlords
The owners of Ultimate Fighting Championships want to take over the world. With their acquisition of Japan's Pride Fighting Championships now complete, they've got their eyes on the big time pay-per-view market; and you know, with savvy sports insights such as demonstrated in the quote below, how ca...

Afterwards, They Made Him Eat Actual Buckeyes
This is an old video, but it never fails to crack us up and remind us, when we are watching Ohio State play a sporting event on the largest possible stage, just what kind of people are rooting for them. We love how they jump in joy after it happens....
Baseball Season Preview: Montreal Expos
One of our favorite in-person baseball memories is watching the Expos play at Olympic Stadium a few years ago. This was back when Omar Minaya was the GM, during that season when he tried to make a mid-summer wild-card run. We saw the second game Bartolo Colon pitched for the 'Spos after his trade. T...
The NCAA Has Just The Job For You

Somebody Was Too Blasted To Pitch In A Meaningless Game
So you remember that whole All-Star game travesty from five years ago — yes, it has been five years now, which is kind of amazing — when they had to call the All-Star Game a tie because everyone was out of pitchers? (That game is the reason the American League has freaking home-field advantage every...
Hirshey: England, Or Israel?

From A Rote Tourney Comes A Thrilling Final Four
Of all the little traditions of college basketball, our favorite might be the cutting down of the nets. It's something unique to the game of basketball; in other sports, it's the fans who cause the on-field destruction after a victory. (And we're damn good at it too.) We do always worry a little abo...
We've Got Our Four
I asked for a game that would be close at the end, and technically, I didn't really get it. Overtime, as it turned out, was a time for beating some Tarheel ass. Georgetown trailed the entire game, managed to tie it up on a late Jonathan Wallace three, and then Carolina just decided they didn't feel...
Joey Dorsey Still Not In The Running For the Naismith Award
It's only fair, really, to check back in with Memphis's Joey Dorsey, who called out Greg Oden before the Ohio State/Memphis game, and then spent the game treating Oden like Morgan Freeman treated Miss Daisy....

• We're back underway, and the second half starts just like the first... with Greg Oden abusing Joey Dorsey....
Mock Drafts Are Of No Interest To Joey Dorsey

AJ Daulerio's Cultural Oddsmaker runs every Friday. Email him to let him know what you think....
Man, These Games Run LATE
Before we delve into last night's games, a legitimate question: Why doesn't the NCAA receive the complaints about the late endings of their most important games the way Major League Baseball does for scheduling the World Series so late? We know that they have to fit in two games, but the Ohio State-...
Joey Porter Might Have Gotten Himself Whupped
So you know how Joey Porter supposedly leveled Levi Jones during a fight in Vegas? Well, some more details on the fight have come out, and it's beginning to look like Joey didn't get the best of the exchange....
