Your SNL MVP, Peyton Manning
For a variety of reasons, I hadn't watched Saturday Night Live in a while. I considered giving it a go after Justin Timberlake cut a hole in a box, but I never got around to it. Of course, there was no way I was going to miss Peyton Manning hosting, and I was hoping that while I watched, I'd pick up...
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....

About Last Night...
• Women's College Basketball. Rutgers 53, Duke 52. .1 on the clock, down 1 point, shooting two free throws ... and neither of them even get close to going in. That can't feel good. I'm sorry, Lindsay Harding. • College Hockey. Maine 3, UMass 1. The Black Bears are in the Frozen Four. I am happy for ...
The Kansas/UCLA Open Thread
Kansas vs. UCLA will be tipping any time now. Hopefully, that one will make this one look like the JV game. There's no shortage of history and tradition there, of course, as will be mentioned during the obligatory shot of Bill Walton in the stands with his tiny Asian wife....

Memphis vs. Ohio State Liveblog, 1st Half
Slight adjustment of plans with the liveblog, as you may have noticed. We're getting a little bit of a late start because of some technical issues. It's still a liveblog, but sort of... delayed. Sorry....

Nothing that can happen the rest of the day is going to top that. I'm done. No more basketball for me. I'm quitting while I'm ahead....

Mock Drafts Are Of No Interest To Joey Dorsey
Memphis forward Joey Dorsey does not share the popular view that Greg Oden is very good at basketball. Dorsey intends to show the world tonight that Greg Oden is, for lack of a better word, his bitch....
Johnnie Morton Is Some Kind of Bad-Ass
The Fighting Entertainment Group announced a press conference yesterday for some kind of a Mixed Martian Arts pay-per-view thing. I'm not very big into the MMA/Ultimate Fighting scene, so I was surprised to learn that they're now employing WWF guys and retired NFL wide receivers....
You Know What Michael Vick Needs? Jeff George
With Matt Schaub having been traded to Houston, the Atlanta Falcons are in need of a backup quarterback. With Jeff George not having been good enough to break through the deep and talented Raiders QB depth chart last year, Jeff George needs a job. Sometimes, in situations like these, karma has a way...
Craig Biggio And His Selfish Support Of Cancer Patients
Between yanking the Extra Innings package away from millions of people and this beauty of a public relations move, it seems like Major League Baseball is hellbent on making itself as loathsome as possible these days....
Is It So Hard To Believe That Misty Mounds Is Also A Bereavement Counselor?
Portland Trailblazers forward Zach Randolph is away from the team on "bereavement leave." His girlfriend's cousin was shot to death, and Randolph was granted some time away from the team to grieve, be there for his girlfriend, attend a funeral, ogle glitter-covered jubblies ... you know, typical thi...
Cinderella Is A 3-Seed
Maybe the lack of an underdog isn't such a bad thing. The lowest-seeded team left is Oregon, who's battled to the Elite Eight from the lowly ranks of the 3-seed. But ultimately, this is about finding the best team, right? Crowning the most deserving champion? At the end of the day, aren't Cinderella...
