• Manchester United 4-1 Bolton. Cristiano Ronaldo is as magnificent as he is handsome. He spent the day carving up the Bolton defense, setting up goals for Wayne Rooney (who had 2), and Ji-Sung Park (who also had 2). It was a dominating performance, but it didn't come without a price. Gary Neville s...
Open Thread: Xavier vs. Ohio State
I don't know why the NCAA always does this, but every year on the third day of the tournament, they have one game on by its lonesome in the 1:00 p.m. slot... and then they triple us up at around 5:45....
Don't Give Ken Griffey Jr. Any Ideas
We've got a little bit of time before the tournament action gets underway, so let's kill time with hockey. Ted Nolan, head coach of the New York Islanders got a little creative (or uncreative, I guess) by listing Rick DiPietro as suffering from "general body soreness."...
So, When Does This Get Good?
I guess Friday was a little better than Thursday. Both days had one legitimate upset, but Friday had the added bonus of two legitimate nail-biters: Nevada/Creighton and Virginia Tech/Illinois. And if you're the type of person who takes joy in the pain of others, have a good laugh at Illinois' expens...
About Last Night...
• NBA: Lakers 116, Trailblazers 111. Kobe had 65, 24 in the fourth quarter, and 9 in overtime. Kobe would beat 30% of NCAA tournament teams, 1-on-5. • College Basketball: Florida 112, Jackson State 69. You may have noticed a little bit of a talent discrepancy there. • NBA: Pistons 105, Suns 83. Impr...

State. • Misinterpreting Pete Rose. • Tommy Lasorda, sleeping and dreaming. • Blah blah blah, Syracuse is pissed, blah blah blah. • Aw ... Duke lost. Dam...

NCAA Tournament Live Blog: Friday, 12:20 p.m.
OK, so, maybe we didn't have the most ecstatic day of NCAA basketball yesterday — other than Duke, of course — but we have big hopes for today. (Besides, the most fun we had yesterday afternoon was reading Shanoff's live blog and your comments.) So, we rev it up yet again today. Here are the early g...
He Might Want To Lay Off The Nickname In Jail
So, for all of those who were losing faith in the justice system, you might this morning find yourself with some faith: Bears defensive lineman Tank Johnson is going to serve some jail time for the probation violation that involved all the, you know, artillery. A judge in Chicago sentenced him to 12...
