Harvard's Basketball Team Works Better Than Harvard
Sometimes Harvard Yard literally smells like bullshit. The grass takes a regular beating from the weather and the footsteps of mathematicians eager to find the shortest path to class. So, a few times a year, to spruce it up for the brochures and the visiting parents, the grounds crew gives it a fat ...

MLB Is Playing Legal Whac-A-Mole In The Biogenesis Case
Major League Baseball is not the government. Bud Selig is not a senator, Joe Torre is not a district attorney, and the Phillie Phanatic has sworn no oath to uphold principles of any kind. And judging from the news today about MLB's plans to sue Biogenesis (the clinic which, according to the Miami Ne...
After Cheating Allegations, Harvard Stripped Of Four National Titles (In Quiz Bowl)

Kenneth Faried And JaVale McGee Have A Block Party
It's tough to decide which block is more impressive. Kenneth Faried meeting Thaddues Young at the top of the square for a clean, devastating block is cool, but JaVale McGee just straight up snatching a hook shot out of the sky is also cool, and kind of hilarious. Let's call it a push....

North Carolina A&T's DaMetrius Upchurch Slams Head Into Court On Contested Dunk
About 10 minutes into the first half of Louisville's dismantling of N.C. A&T in Rupp Arena tonight, the Aggies lost DaMetrius Upchurch to what is surely a concussion after smacking the back of his head on the court....
Your NCAA Most Painful Moment Is Bryce Dejean-Jones Saving A Ball Right Into Allen Crabbe's Junk
We've seen some rough injuries already in today's hoops cornucopia (Michigan star Trey Burke, even, missed some action after a tumble) but nothing of the sort that makes (male) viewers wince in pain like what happened early in Cal's game against UNLV....
Martin Brodeur Scores Goal Against Carolina Hurricanes (Sort Of)
This is one way to come back from an injury. Early in the first period, the Devils were called for a penalty so, as teams always do, Carolina pulled the goalie to get a man advantage until New Jersey could possess the puck.
