The Value Of College Athletes
Ever wonder how much money an individual player was worth to a university? So did Robert Brown, a professor at Cal State-San Marcos who has spent 15 years studying the value of college athletes. He put together a formula to estimate how much members of last year's North Carolina and Illinois baske...
"I'll Have Him Secured Any Minute Now."
The best SportsCenter commercial of all time, in my opinion....
This Week In Arena Football
• Georgia Force 55, Kansas City Brigade 47. With the win, Force head coach Doug Plank become's the franchise's all-time winningest head coach. I can feel the jealousy of Vince Lombardi, Chuck Noll and Bill Parcells....
Trying To Stop The Flop
I wasn't able to get you your soccer update yesterday, but I did want to point out some efforts to being taken to eliminate the diving and flopping that can sometimes plague the game....
Durham Quickly Becoming Compton East
You know, between the rapes and the drive-by shootings, Durham doesn't sound like such a great place to be right now....
People Will Come, Ray...
I admit, I've never been much for the sappy "crack of the bat, smell of the green grass" imagery that seems to be inspired by the opening of the baseball season. But I can get behind these sounds of the season: San Diego Serenade has put together a list of 9 songs (complete with downloadable mp3s)...

Glen Davis starts the half by missing a couple of short ones, and UCLA has pushed the lead to 19. This evening... has been disappointing....
Bruins vs. Tigers, Halftime
Uh oh. Big Baby's practically begging John Brady to take him out of the game. He can't keep up with the pace. Things really couldn't be going worse for the Tigers....
Bruins vs. Tigers, 6:28 First Half
Hey, sweet commercial. Someone asks Spike Lee who he'd have a beer with if he could have a beer with anyone, and it's a nice little tribute to Jackie Robinson. Apparently, the commercial is for beer. Not any particular beer, just... beer in general....
Bruins vs. Tigers, 12:19 First Half
Just real quick, Seth Davis reports before the game that NC State's Herb Sendek is no longer NC State's. He's been offerred and has accepted the head coaching job at Arizona State. I think the Sun Devils just got one of the better coaches in the nation....
Cinderella Mauled By Gator
The lead is 13 with under four minutes to play. I just don't see it happening, Patriots. And you know, I'd be upset about it if you were losing to a less likable team, but I've no issues with Florida. If this was UConn, I'd be pounding my head against the monitor right now....

Gators vs. Patriots: 11:49, Second Half
I didn't catch much of the halftime, but man... Adam Morrison is hurting. They gave him the Chevrolet Player of the Year, and I think the man is clinically depressed. He looked down, talked softly, had nothing to say, and he hasn't washed his hair in over a month. I feel like writing him a letter ...

Gators vs. Patriots: 3:48, First Half

Hey, a Dick Vitale commercial for DiGiorno's. A few minutes ago, I felt like ordering pizza. I was really considering it. I've completely lost the taste for it, though....
