For Some Reason, Its Not Cool To Punch Fans In The Face
If you're looking for a way to make a quick $6,650, you might want to consider hanging out at rugby games, pouring beer on players and insulting their mothers. It worked for the idiot pictured above in the Santa hat....

Open Thread: The 3:30 Games
That is exactly what we needed. We didn't quite get the upset we wanted, but we did get one hell of an exciting battle, some remarkable individual performances, Gus Johnson on top of his game, and maybe the first legitimate tournament thriller. The seal is broken now. Let the excitement flow....
Stephon Marbury Has Something In Common With All Of You
Namely, he doesn't like Stephen A. Smith. That delightful zinger was the outro for Stephon Marbury's new talk show, called... actually, I don't know what the hell it's called. But it exists, and that, to be honest with you, is more than I wanted to know about it in the first place....
Today in the Premiership...
• Manchester United 4-1 Bolton. Cristiano Ronaldo is as magnificent as he is handsome. He spent the day carving up the Bolton defense, setting up goals for Wayne Rooney (who had 2), and Ji-Sung Park (who also had 2). It was a dominating performance, but it didn't come without a price. Gary Neville s...
Open Thread: Xavier vs. Ohio State
I don't know why the NCAA always does this, but every year on the third day of the tournament, they have one game on by its lonesome in the 1:00 p.m. slot... and then they triple us up at around 5:45....
Don't Give Ken Griffey Jr. Any Ideas
We've got a little bit of time before the tournament action gets underway, so let's kill time with hockey. Ted Nolan, head coach of the New York Islanders got a little creative (or uncreative, I guess) by listing Rick DiPietro as suffering from "general body soreness."...
So, When Does This Get Good?
I guess Friday was a little better than Thursday. Both days had one legitimate upset, but Friday had the added bonus of two legitimate nail-biters: Nevada/Creighton and Virginia Tech/Illinois. And if you're the type of person who takes joy in the pain of others, have a good laugh at Illinois' expens...
About Last Night...
• NBA: Lakers 116, Trailblazers 111. Kobe had 65, 24 in the fourth quarter, and 9 in overtime. Kobe would beat 30% of NCAA tournament teams, 1-on-5. • College Basketball: Florida 112, Jackson State 69. You may have noticed a little bit of a talent discrepancy there. • NBA: Pistons 105, Suns 83. Impr...

State. • Misinterpreting Pete Rose. • Tommy Lasorda, sleeping and dreaming. • Blah blah blah, Syracuse is pissed, blah blah blah. • Aw ... Duke lost. Dam...
