Stanley Pringle: Jackin' It
You know, it's really annoying when athletes-masturbating-in-libraries stories break in the evening and we have to wait until morning to write about them. If we can't be your leader in library masturbation coverage, we're not sure what our point is....
A New Approach On How To Get Out Of Those Pesky DUIs
Most of us have probably made the ridiculously stupid decision to drink and drive at some point in our lives. Some of us may have even been pulled over, which makes the stupid decision become an expensive and humiliating one. (Here's a tip: Refuse the breathalzyer.) But even if those circumstances d...
Roy Williams' Cute Attempt At A Freakout, Remembered
With the North Carolina-Kansas game just a few days away, we remind you of truly one of our favorite college basketball interview moments of all time....
Congratulations, Sigh, To Bill Self
In the midst of all the sadness about Davidson coming up just short on Saturday, we didn't get a chance to, begrudgingly, congratulate Bill Self and his toupee on their first trip to the Final Four....
Just Another Last Sunday Of The Tourney
Storming The Floor wraps up yesterday's Elite Eight action in a more detailed way than we will....
Davidson Breaks Their Own Hearts
One of our best friends went to Davidson, and, not wanting to dare to miss history, booked a whirlwind trip from Columbia, Missouri to Detroit yesterday. We've made similar, holy shit we have to BE there sports trips before, and they rarely turn out well. It's one thing to take a crazy 24-hour jaun...
Your Unprecedented Chalktastic Final Four
Welp. Some sound Jayhawk defense forces Stephen Curry to give up the final shot and it goes left. Now we have the first ever all 1-seed Final Four. All the lay people filling out a bracket are thrilled....
Your Davidson-Kansas Live Blog
And now the Davidson Wildcats are all that stands in the way of an all 1-seed Final Four. If they, and we've been assured all day they are not just Stephen Curry, can deal Bill Self another regional final loss, they will be the first 10 seed to make the Final Four....
Hipsters In Big Wheels — A Regressive Delight
Bring Your Own Big Wheel, an annual event for wacky funsters to relive the childhood they never left is typically held on San Francisco's winding Lombard Street. This year's event went down Easter Sunday on Potrero Hill, which The Backyard said is probably more treacherous. Not being from the Bay A...
Davidson Is Now Just One Game Away
Storming The Floor looks at last night's Sweet 16 action....
Sweet 16 Pants Party: Kansas Vs. Villanova
Kansas Jayhawks (33-3) vs. Villanova Wildcats (22-12) When: 9:40 p.m. ET tonight Where: Detroit...
Jay Mariotti Remains A Very Delicate Boy
You might remember back when Jay Mariotti, deeply hurt by critical remarks on Wikipedia, asking the site to take down those mean, mean words. You might have thought he had grown a thicker skin since then. You'd be wrong....
China Has Addressed Our Pooping Needs
Breaking news in the Beijing Olympics controversy: They're fixing the toilets. I've prayed for this day (dabs at eye with hankie). It makes sense. The Chinese government realized that if it wants the Olympics to run efficiently, then it needs to address this pressing issue. Simply put, American athl...
STF's Midwest Regional Preview
Now that we are down to just sixteen teams, STF will profile each Regional lineup to see how we got here, what the Sweet 16 really means to each participating school, and who has the best chance to advance to San Antonio. The second of two today, here's the Midwest....
Japan Games End, But Opening Day Is Just Beginning
This photo pretty much explains the lunacy of the Red Sox-A's series in Japan. They had all this pageantry before the second game. Each of these teams is pretty much going to have four opening days. You could argue the Red Sox will have five....
In Japan, The Pitchers Pose Nude
We don't know how we missed this from Jeff Passan's excellent column on Japanese-Iranian pitcher Yu Darvish, but apparently the fella, in addition to being the Sports Elvis of Japan right now, isn't afraid to take it all off....
And So The Red Sox Love Begins
Say what you will about having the start of the baseball season happen in Japan, but, all told, it's not too shabby to come into work and watch the end of a game while drinking your coffee. And if you're a Red Sox fan, it's doubly pleasant....
