Time To Rev Up The NCAA Tourney Previews Again
Longtime readers — or at least those who have been with us for a year or longer — will remember last year, when we introduced the world's only reader-created NCAA tournament previews. Well, that thing is a mother to put together — essentially, three presumably fascinating facts about all 65 teams in...
Find Those Committee Members, Stat!
Man, we're only three days away from Selection Sunday. It came up on us so fast! As we obsess over Bracketology and RPI and conference tournaments, we are reminded that the brackets will not just pop up from the nether on Sunday. Somewhere in Indianapolis, there's a group of old men sitting around a...
We Have Dancing Quakers
You can start filling out your tournament bracket ... at least one tiny little inconsequential part of it. The Pennsylvania Quakers have let their Inner Light guide them into the NCAA tournament. With their 86-58 win last night over Yale, Penn becomes the Ivy League champ, and thus, the first team t...
Applebee's Making Amends
If you watched any amount of last year's NCAA basketball tournament, you probably remember the Applebee's commercials that featured two guys singing the Gilligan's Island theme song, rewritten to be about some kind of a shrimp special. You probably remember this because 1) you hated it, and 2) it wa...
Expanding The NCAA's Grip On Your Life
The men's NCAA basketball tournament is the one major postseason event that seems perfect. It's not possible for it to fail. It will be exciting. There will not be controversy about the champion. It is the single greatest gambling event that has ever existed. And there are coaches out there who want...
"Wow, It's Us. Hey, It's Us. Yo, Check It Out, It's Us."
Via Gawker, the fine folks at Silver Jacket captured this image from last night's national championship game....
Meet Your Deadspin Pool Winner
We had 1,534 people join our Deadspin NCAA pool, but there was only one winner: Daniel Fearson, from Michigan, who ended up with the highest score with this "Van Halen Rules" entry. And you know what? Van Halen does rule....
Tapeworms Overcome Glen Davis; UCLA And Florida To Meet Monday Night
Every commercial CBS takes prolongs the agony. And CBS certainly isn't shy about the commercial breaks this year....
Bruins vs. Tigers, 5:58 Second Half
Garrett Temple buys a pump fake and ends up kneeing someone in the head. That was exciting....
Bruins vs. Tigers, 13:07 Second Half
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: 5:16, Second Half
Mason's chipping back into a little bit, but Florida just keeps hitting threes. The game has certainly taken on a Florida kind of pace. Florida's up 13....
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: Halftime
I was wrong about the new batch of commercials, by the way. The lame Southwest "Wanna get away?" commercials are back in the rotation, as is that fucking Capitol One angel....
Gators vs. Patriots: 3:48, First Half
I think I could watch Jai Lewis do just about anything and be entertained. Patient, smooth, controlled, quick... all at 275 pounds. I could probably even be talked into buying a Jai Lewis gay sex tape....
Gators vs. Patriots: 9:50, 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....
