$15,000 Says "Brad Johnson Doesn't Finish This Game": More Tales Of Redskins Bounties
The NFL will tell you repeatedly that it's the cover-up, not the crime. That the harshness of the Saints' punishment is due to the lies and obstruction from the higher-ups, even moreso than the actual bounty program.

The NCAA Tournament, As Narrated By Weird Tweets That Got Past Its Filters And Appeared On The Bottom Of The Screen
Tweets stream below March Madness Live online in something called the Coke Zero Social Arena. Apparently, all you need to get into the Coke Zero Social Arena is a hashtag.

The Yankees Quit A Tie Game And Went Home, And Bobby Valentine Is Furious

The irony is that Cousins really does everything he ought to be doing here. John Salmons pretty much tosses a jumpshot into the stands, and Cousins gets after it to try to maintain possession for the Kings. It's the basket stanchion that's recklessly sitting there. But that's good hustle....

Look, we're no experts on Russia, and no one wants to be culturally insensitive.

Pat Robertson: Because The Broncos Disrespected Tebow, They Deserve A Peyton Injury
Robertson, appearing on some talky-talky show today, decided that "it would serve the Broncos right" if Peyton Manning was incapacitated by that neck injury.
