Get This ... Duke Now Hates ESPN
As we all know, Duke basketball and ESPN grew up together; slept on each other's sofas, double-dated, brought each other homework when the other was too hung over to make it to class.

Time For The ACC To Kick Around The Big Ten A Bit
The Made-For-ESPN Big Ten/ACC Challenge kicks off (well, continues, actually; Wake Forest beat Iowa last night) tonight. We always enjoy the ACC/Big Ten challenge, because it's the most one-sided "tournament" in all of a sports. This is the ninth year, and the Big Ten has never won....
Perhaps It's Time To Let Eli Manning Go

The Warriors — whom I believe began the season 0-6 — trounced the Suns on Monday, but that's not the big news. The Knicks have no...
