It's So Cute When Newspapers Fight Over The Cubs
The Chicago Sun-Times announced earlier today that Katie Hamilton, a 22-year-old college student, won its "Zell No" video contest. The newspaper says her entry "chastises [Tribune CEO Sam] Zell for pondering the sale of Wrigley Field's naming rights." What the paper didn't seem to realize was that H...
The Refs Love A Scuffle
• • We knew it: Hockey refs like the fights too. [Orladn Kurtenblog] • The NCAA tournament's first day, as filtered through potential Indiana coaching candidates.

We are pleased that we don't work in a field as compulsively paranoid as professional football. (The world of online journalism is typically too narcotically enhanced to have time for paranoia.) Every move, no matter how small and seemingly insignificant, is in danger of being swiped by another team...

Friday NCAA Live Blog: 12:20 ET Games
All right, we've been told that the Gawker servers are ready to rock today, and we will have no more problems. We have faith!

Celtics Munch On A Little Texas Toast
The NBA Closer is written by Matt McHale, who knows he can't compete with March Madness but is going to try anyway.

For One Night, We Were All Vince Gill
The initial rush of excitement that the NCAA Tournament brings us often disguises the fact that the games themselves sometimes disappoint. The upsets we crave, the upsets that excite us about all this in the first place — the first weekend is always more of an "event" than the national championship...

What's Half A Year's Salary For An Image That Lasts A Lifetime?
Say what you will about the supposed coarseness of new media and today's supposed graceless sports culture, but at least we didn't go in and start snapping nude photos of future legends. That's Willie Mays. Almost nude. And it will cost you only 25 grand to see the real Say Hey junk....
