Reports Indicate Les Miles Reports Contradict Other Les Miles Reports - A Special Report
There was a really cool fake punt in the Tulsa-UCF game, because Tulsa's quarterback was lined up at punter. Obvious fake, right? Well, he's actually averaging 40 yards a punt, which is better than their main punter. He also installed the goalposts before the game, and sometimes mans the down marker...
Elijah Dukes Blends Right Into Dominican Baseball
If you thought Elijah Dukes would sit on his laurels and be happy with a first round SHOTY victory, then you sir, are a Rays fan praying to God he doesn't do anything stupid. Your prayers haven't been answered, but are very important to us and will be answered in the order they were received....
MAC Championship Breaks Sound Barrier
The quantity of games is light, which is compensated with a hint of quality. Central Michigan leads Miami 7-0 for the MAC championship, Central Florida is up 10-7 on Tulsa for the C-USA crown, and Army-Navy is scoreless. And for a I-AA update, Appalachian State leads Eastern Washington 7-0. Virginia...
Even For The NHL, Byfuglien Is An Odd Name
• I'd Like To See Where These Hats You Speak Of Grow In Nature. By the time Dustin Byfuglien's reign of terror began over Phoenix, it was already 2-0 Blackhawks. And that's when his hat trick on consecutive goals occurred — in the first quarter. It was only 5-0 after one trimester, and the Hawks had...

Lou Holtz - 60 Years = Jason Krause
Last night, Lou Holtz broke ground on his little game of Dress-Up by crossing borders to The Association and giving a pep talk to the Knicks as if he were Isiah Thomas ... wearing a Knicks jersey. It might not be too far-fetched if something in Thomas's cortex snapped and he wore a Knickerjersey on ...

Never Bring A Lion To A Cannonfight
For some reason, great teams always play with more fervor after a loss. We can all assume the New England Patriots will win the Super Bowl if they fall in Week 17, or that Duke basketball will win the Final Four if they trip up in the ACC tournament. But this isn't the case over in England. Instead,...

The Last Weekend For This College Football Business
Some might say there's no legitimate national champion this year, but that seems beside the point: We play sports to crown a champion, and if no one necessarily deserves it, what's wrong with that? It's nice to have a winner....

Dissecting Captain Crazy
Watching the Knicks these days is a brutal, glorious experience; last night's loss to the Celtics was the nadir in a season full of them. And the centerpiece of the madness is, of course, Stephon Marbury, the Tracy Jordan of the NBA. He's mesmerizing; we can't look away....
