The Caveman Guy Is Getting His Own Show ... With Phil Simms?
So here's a show we would watch: It turns out that the GEICO Caveman commercials are getting their own television show. We have no problem with this idea; we find the Caveman skits hilarious, particularly the one where he's on the cable news show....

ESPN Gets Its Richard Nixon On
We've always wondered if some of the head honchos at ESPN sit in a back room somewhere, with a slug of Scotch and babbling paranoid fantasies to a painting of Tom Mees, railing against those who dare to question its authority. And now we have proof: In an interview with The Big Lead, Mike Freeman, a...

Terrell Owens Will Not Turn In His Playbook Until He's Done Coloring It
No wonder Terrell Owens complains so much about not getting the ball. It's those damn quarterbacks who read the entire playbook. Filling their heads with running plays, audibles and routes to other receivers. His edition doesn't have all that worthless junk. But it does have a comics section. From t...
Join The D—-spin Pants Party Pool!

NHL To Simon: Pack Your Crap And Get Out
Because we've never really shown it, here's the tomahawk chop by the Islanders' Chris Simon on the Rangers' Ryan Hollweg from Thursday. After mulling the attack over the weekend, the NHL doled out a 25-game suspension for Hollweg for thrusting his neck at Simon in a vicious manner. Or, no, the other...

Later today, we'll begin rolling out our Tidbit previews of each team/first-round matchup, but to kick us off, we're gonna look at each region. Here's the East region. We're so glad they're calling it "East" again, instead of the decidedly unromantic "East Rutherford."...
A Lament For The Orange ... And Then We're Done With It
Now that the brackets are officially out, it's inevitable that everyone's talking about the snubs. (Ironically, one of the major "snubs" last year was supposedly Hofstra, who was overlooked in favor of George Mason.) The biggest snub of all is Syracuse, of course, which remains befuddled by its abse...

We'll get more into our thoughts on the bracket tomorrow — and before you yell at us, we really didn't expect Illinois to make it, and we're far from certain they deserve it ... not that we mind! — but first off, we wanted to get our Deadspin PDF bracket up there and ready for you ASAP....
You Are Not Invited, Jim Boeheim
I hate how CBS does this. You've got teams sweating it out, nervous wrecks waiting to see if they'll get in... and the show opens with Greg Gumbel explaining how a single-elimination tournament works. Then we spend about three more minutes with Gumbel spouting off as many words as he possibly can ab...
