I get it, I do: You’re a fan of basketball, and this weekend has given you not one but two Final Fours watch. A choice appears.

This College Hoops Team Has 100 Straight Losses, But Who's Counting?

Louisiana Tech Player Ejected For Being Too Rad
Unless you live in Ruston, La., chances are the name Jacobi Boykins won’t ring a bell. That’s a shame, because the senior Louisiana Tech guard is and has been a great watch during his four years with the Bulldogs, albeit one sequestered to Conference USA games.

What If <i>The Purge</i>, But For Goalie Interference<em></em>
Every sport has its catch rule, a point of controversy with rules so vague or arcane or reliant on human judgment that fans, players, and even referees can have trouble defining it.

Report: Marlins Continue Setting Themselves On Fire, Trade Marcell Ozuna To Cardinals
The Miami Marlins, an alleged major league club in the NL East, are carrying on with their plan to strip the franchise bare and trade off all their players worth a damn.

Ken Rosenthal reported Thursday that baseball murderer Giancarlo Stanton will not waive his no-trade clause for the Giants or Cardinals.

Rick Pitino: I Was Publicly Humiliated By Papa John
Former Louisville head coach Rick Pitino is a busy man and, almost assuredly, a messy gentleman.

So Stew...
