Blogdome: Colin Cowherd Might Swipe This Story
• Colin Cowherd steals a whole bit from blogger for his radio show. (And there's proof.) When confronted, he says bloggers wanting credit are "whiners." Charming fellow.

Clipping Coupons At "Cold Pizza"
We know we pick on "Cold Pizza" a little more than we should around here; it's kind of an easy target sometimes, and besides, since we're here by ourselves all day, it's the only thing on. It's not as bad a show as, say, "Quite Frankly" or "Teammates," which is not to say it will ever be confused ...
We Have To Ask ...
Suggested questions for today's ESPN SportsNation chatters ... • 2 p.m. MLB with Buster Olney: It's hard to take a person seriously whose name sounds like he should be wearing SpongeBob underoos. • 2:45 p.m. "Game of Shadows" authors: Hey, how come no one is reporting on all the times that Barry Bon...

Hey, The Tourney's Back
Well, we don't know about you, but we've been sleeping since last Sunday, and it's finally time to wake up; the NCAA Tournament returns this evening. That was enough time for us to recharge our batteries; we needed that long to come to terms with that Illinois loss to Washington....
The Fall Of The Umpire
Ever since watching the film Rollerball on cable one rainy afternoon, we've been able to think of only one thing; the day that all sports officiating will be taken over by machines. The upside: George Brett doesn't charge you from the dugout like a deranged gibbon. The downside: We would not have ...
Do Not Taunt Milton Bradley
So far, new A's outfielder Milton Bradley has said all the right things and gotten along just fine with everyone in the Oakland organization. (He even dressed up for St. Patrick's Day; at least, we hope that's what that costume is.) The only "incident" for the famed anger managerment headcase so f...
Isiah Is Keeping Good Company
Not to imply that matters in New York have passed the point of no return for Isiah Thomas and the Knicks — they were hammered by the Magic last night — but Knicks fans-turned-haters are now comparing him to Zimbabwe president Robert Mugabe....
Jay Mohr Tackles Stories Others Are Afraid To Touch
We know the weekly feature in which we rip various sportswriters is on hiatus, but we can't let the earth complete one more revolution on its axis without commenting on our friend Jay Mohr, online journalism's answer to Paris Hilton.

What Is A Lap Dance? You Know, In An Existential Sense, Aren't We All Just God's Lap Dancers?
So the Vikings sex boat trial in Minnesota is going on, like, right now. Well, kind of; former quarterback Daunte Culpepper and fullback Moe Williams are trying to talk a judge into dismissing charges against them. The two players were charged, pretty much, with receiving lap dances, which has spu...
To Watch Tonight
What to watch while you're confused as to why your copy of Sports Illustrated has a picture of you in it ... • College Basketball: National Invitation Tournament, quarterfinals, Old Dominion at Hofstra; Missouri State at Louisville. The way we look at it, every NIT game just delays lacrosse season t...
Our Long National Nightmare Is Over; Soriano Caves
Well, it appears that Alfonso Soriano has agreed to play left field for the Nationals in spring training and is, in fact, playing the position right now, against the Cardinals. It "ends" a "standoff" that would be the sports world equivalent of Waco if, you know, Frank Robinson had set fire to Sor...
Leftovers: More Benson Cuckolding
• We're thinking Kris Benson's last couple weeks in New York had to be one of the most emasculating experiences in history. First it was sticking up for his crazy wife, then addressing the trade rumors dressed as Santa and, finally, posing for the cover of New York Tails, a pet magazine for the pe...
Couple Of Knicks, Just Hangin' Out
Inspired by this photo of New York Knicks malcontents Stephon Marbury and Steve Francis, deranged NBA blogger J.E. Skeets imagines what a sideline conversation between the two might go like....
