EVERYTHING HE PUNDITS IS IMPORTANT
For the second time in just more than a week, Stephen A. Smith appeared on Chris Matthews' "Hardball" last night. It makes perfect sense, so much so that we wonder if Smith is employed by the wrong channel....

The Epic Tale Of Borders Porn Purchasing

If you're a fan of beatdown basketball, top-ranked North Carolina has a slight lead over NC State at halftime, 43-13.

Who Are We? "The Blues!" Who Are We Gonna Beat? "The Blues!"
There doesn't seem to be a bevy of interesting games — even for soccer fans! — save for one game, Man City and Everton.
