Step Right Up To Get Your Own Bowl Game
A brilliant discovery by Every Day Should Be Saturday has our minds a-racin'. It turns out that St. Petersberg is getting a bowl game but doesn't have a sponsor yet. Hmm....
Female Athletes Play Fair And Keep Things In Perspective. How I Loathe Them
This occurred Saturday, but women's softball news tends to travel slowly, if at all. In an amazing display of sportsmanship, some Central Washington University players helped a Western Oregon opponent round the bases to complete a home run after the batter had injured her knee. This also once happen...
Tyler Hansbrough Regrets NOTHINGGGGGG!!!!!!
Via 850: The Buzz and The Big Lead, here's North Carolina's Tyler Hansbrough jumping off a roof into (hopefully) a pool....
Now, Majerle's Miffed At TheDirty.com
After yesterday's legal parry with the lawyer representing Terrell Owens in his futile fight to de-Dirty.com himself from internet memory, another sports figure has also threatened legal action against the website: Thunder Dan Majerle....
Facebook Makes It Easier, And More Difficult, To Cheat In College
We are still somewhat new to the world of Facebook — and we really, really don't want to Facebook chat, and we'd rather not the world know that we bought two tickets to Baby Mama — but if we had access to it when we were in college, we suspect we would have had a different experience. We definitely ...
Rich Rodriguez Era Off To A Rousing Start
Former University of Michigan offensive lineman Justin Boren is now officially an Ohio State Buckeye, a development which has caused much gnashing of teeth around college football. This is the first time ever that a Wolverines player has gone over to play for their most hated rival, which should rai...
NBA Playoffs ... Or Video Game Baseball?
Well, my fellow Americans, we've got... HEY! Stop putting misspelled captions underneath pictures of cats for ONE SECOND and pay attention here. We've got basketball playoffs for you, and if you don't pay attention to the regular season, you at least start becoming aware of pro hoops around this tim...
Cal Ripken Debunks A Great Urban Legend
Everybody has a favorite sports urban legend. Some like the Rafael Palmeiro Sleeps With Ryne Sandberg's Wife one. Others are fans of the Kevin Mitchell Cuts The Heads Of Cats one. Our preference has always been the Orioles Canceled A Game Because Cal Ripken Couldn't Play Because He Found Kevin Costn...
Erin Andrews' Calves Await Your Scrutiny
This candid photo of ESPN college sports vixen Erin Andrews attempting to gain the attention of a well-Under Armoured Tim Tebow suggests that the popular NCAA reporter princess is working very, very hard to get a salient quote from the Florida quarterback during the Gators annual spring game....
So, How'd OJ Mayo Work Out For You, Coach Floyd?
Surprising no one, OJ Mayo announced yesterday that he's leaving USC to enter the NBA Draft. Hard to blame the guy; most mock drafts have him going in the top five. (Love that video preview for the Mock Draft, ESPN!)...
Now, Sing Along With The Masters
Well, potato chip-inhaling ruminator, there are. And thanks to the crew at The Meaningful Collateral, you can listen to the Masters theme as it was originally intended: with treacly words....
Pat Summitt Should Be The Next Coach Of The Knicks
We congratulate the Tennessee Volunteers — we never like calling women's college teams the "Lady" somethings — for their national championship last night. For some reason, it's a little more touching when the elderly mother of the winning coach comes down on the court when the coach is a woman. We'r...
Storming The Floor's San Antonio Road Trip
Storming The Floor was in San Antonio for the NCAA Title Game last night. Check out their full report....
Roy Williams' Divided Loyalties
As we continue to come to terms with a planet that has Bill Self as a national championship coach — we fully expect to see the Official NCAA Title Toupee on sale soon — we turn our attention to the Jayhawks' newest fan: North Carolina coach Roy Williams....

Kansas Wins All The Spoils
Storming The Floor, Kansas fans, look back at last night's thrilling NCAA national championship game between Memphis and Kansas....
A Great Tournament Capped With A Great Game
The most fun part of last night's national championship game? It wasn't one of those awful defensive wars of attrition, in which each team grinds out the shot clock before chucking an off-balance out-of-control shot. (Or, at least on the rare occasions that happened, the shot went in.) On the whole...
Your NCAA Champion Kansas Jayhawks
You have to admire a national championship game in which most of the final possessions late in regulation are fast breaks. In a relentlessly entertaining national championship game, the Kansas Jayhawks win their first national championship in 20 years. Bill Self gets his title, and Mario Chalmers s...
A College National Championship Game That Actually Crowns A Champion
We're of the idea that Memphis is going to win tonight, which is why they're probably toast. Though if they win, you can make the case that they're a historic team, which is kind of crazy to contemplate....
For You Few Humans Still Paying Attention To Your NCAA Bracket
With the end of the NCAA Tournament tonight, that means not only that One Shining moment is upon us, but also that: Hey! Time to wrap up your tournament pools....
