About Last Night...
• NBA: Lakers 118, Wizards 102. Kobe wanted revenge ... Kobe got revenge. • College Basketball: BYU 90, (25) UNLV 63. And today, God smiles. • NBA: Knicks 94, Magic 86. The game's leading scorers: Eddy Curry and Darko Milicic. They grow up so fast....
College Hoops Compendium: Beaver Exposure
• Iona 69, Rider 57. A bunch of teams got big wins yesterday... NC State, Texas A&M, USC, Colorado, South Florida. But I doubt that any of the winners of those games felt as good as the Gaels of Iona. Coming into the day with an 0-22 record, as perfect as untouched snow, the Gaels were finally able ...
Michael Irvin, Unplugged
Here's the Michael Irvin speech that I promised earlier ... just a few highlights that could be considered ironic, but for the most part, it's actually quite endearing. It's a heartfelt speech, and, to the best of my knowledge, the first time that Bishop T.D. Jakes was mentioned at a Pro Football Ha...
This Means It's About Time For Super Bowl Week To End
While I'm trying to truly appreciate my favorite spam e-mail subject line of all-time — "Experience the outbreak of firmness in your pants with Viagra Soft Tabs" — here's something equally weird....
To Watch Tonight...
• Movie. Remember the Titans. I like the part where Coach Boone asks Bertier about his daddy. 8:00, TNT. • Argentine Soccer. Torneo de Verano: Estudiantes vs. Independiente. Clean, pure, riot-free Argentinian football. 8:00, Fox Soccer. • College Basketball: Texas A&M @ Kansas. No word on the ass cr...
The Extorted St. Louis Athlete Is... Ronnie Belliard
A little over a week ago, Will brought to your attention a mysterious unnamed player who was the target of an attempted extortion ... his identity was unknown at the time, and this story was a lot more fun then. The player is ... (drum roll)......

The Hall Of Fame Is Going To Need A Champagne Room
This one's going to be tough for Redskins fans to swallow. Michael Irvin, in his third year of eligibility, is going to be inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame. He was one of six players selected for Hall induction today, along with Gene Hickerson, Bruce Matthews, Charlie Sanders, Thurman Tho...
Daulerio at SBXLI: Yes, Somehow Freddie Mitchell Got Into the Maxim Party
Maxim's Superbowl Shitshow party was everything one could hope for and so much more. The Sagamore Hotel transformed itself into a beachfront paradise with celebrities and athletes, and, of course FredEx and his Godly hands cavorting about the joint. Freddie Mitchell was attached to Irishman Brady Qu...
DeShawn Stevenson Doesn't Care About His Money
From time to time, you'll hear about a ridiculous bet that NBA players make during practice... something like putting a couple grand on a halfcourt shooting contest. And I always think, "Man I'd love to watch something like that."...
Don't Expect An Italian Soccer Update Today
You may have noticed the lack of Italian soccer in the "Viewing Pleasure" feature today (though I have my doubts). There's not going to be any Italian soccer played this weekend, or for a while ... but that'll happen when fans riot, about 100 people are injured, and a cop is killed at a soccer game....
Lil' Ronnie Throws Down the Gauntlet; Common and Kanye Answer
In what's shaping up to be the most vicious rap beef since 50 Cent tangled with Oprah, Common and Kanye West have ignored Lil' Ronnie's advice to "step off." No, they have stepped right the heck on, recording this little pro-Bears ditty, "Southside Superbowl."...
You Know What It Takes To Win High School Basketball Games?
A Maine high school basketball coach lost his job after he instructed each of his players to lay their hands on their crotch pickles. It's not quite as dirty as it sounds; he didn't do it in a Michael Jackson sort of way. Really, it was just a slight variation of "gutcheck time," just a little farth...
About Last Night...
• NBA: Clippers 100, Celtics 89. Fourteenth straight loss for Boston, setting a new franchise record. Sometimes, I feel like Danny Ainge and Isiah Thomas are the same person. • College Basketball: Yale 43, Princeton 35. You know what, shot clock? You can just so straight to hell. • Track and Field: ...
Week In Review: Who Says Super Bowl Week Is Boring?
Jesus, people: What a week....

[ESPN2]; Junior middleweights, James Kirkland vs. Billy Lyell; junior welterweights, Timothy Bradley vs. Michael Clark, at Santa Ynez, Calif. Why ...
This Is Probably Not A Good Idea, But ...
So you know the Super Bowl? Big game, Bears-Colts, this Sunday, Billy Joel's gonna be there? Yeah, that one. Well, in a move we'll probably end up regretting, we have accepted an invitation to do the live blog of the game for CBS Sportsline. We decided to do this because the Super Bowl is on CBS, an...

Daulerio At Superbowl XLI: The Mustache Will Not Be Going to Maxim Tonight
Deadspin "correspondent" AJ Daulerio is filing dispatches from the Super Bowl all week. This is the final entry of the week, though he might be back this weekend and will definitely be back Monday....
