Here's What It Looked Like At Norfolk State's On-Campus Watch Party When They Beat Missouri
Goosebumps in Spartanville....
Here Are The Highlights Of The Final Two Minutes Of Norfolk St.-Missouri, The Tournament's First Real Upset
The NCAA tournament's first 15-over-2 upset since 2001 saw Hampton beat Iowa State was also the MEAC's first round-of-64 win since then, and the Spartans now hold a unique spot atop the all-time winning percentage list in the tournament (having won their first and only game in the Dance). With a ...
Alex Ovechkin Picked Norfolk State (And So Did A Hairless Cat)
Everyone needs to take back all the mean things they said about Alex Ovechkin's third-grade napkin scrawl of a bracket. He nailed the Norfolk State over Mizzou upset, and appears to have them advancing to the Elite Eight....
Today It Was Florida State That Avoided An Upset Thanks To The Refs
Another day, another blown call that changed a game's outcome in Nashville as third-seeded Florida State escaped with a win over St. Bonaventure due to referees missing this violation (hint: when inbounding the ball you have to stay out of bounds) that would have handed the Bonnies the ball under ...
Penn State Acknowledges That "A Number Of Other University Employees" Have Now Been Subpoenaed
The feds are already looking into allegations of a coverup, but the state attorney general—whose office is prosecuting Jerry Sandusky—has issued this latest round of subpoenas. That's according to a statement the school posted this afternoon on its website:...
Manningwatch 2012: Seriously, What The Hell?
Can you pinpoint the precise moment the Peyton Manning chase turned insane?...
A Clearly Bored Steve Smith Tried (And Failed) To Touch Virtual Graphics On-Air Today
Former Michigan State basketball star Steve Smith is part of the revolving door of Turner basketball analysts feeding the NCAA tournament frenzy on TNT, TBS, and TruTV—and it seems he's already grown bored, given his wandering off-set and into the augmented reality graphics onscreen. It's only mad...
Dick Vitale Couldn't Hear The People Interviewing Him, But That Made The Segment No Less Informative
They're talking a lot of college basketball on the television now. Dick Vitale's the only man in the country who understands it. He knows what's up, and you don't. Certainly the overcaffeinated hosts on WGN's morning show don't. So that's why they're consulting Dickie V. Of course, he can't hear t...
A Reminder That You Are Not Allowed To Blow A Ball Foul
Apparently, everything happened in that Dodgers-Royals game yesterday. With a KC bunt slowly rolling down the line and stubbornly refusing to go foul, Jerry Hairston dropped to all fours and blew....
It's True: Two Royals Pitchers Can Fit Into One Pair Of Jonathan Broxton's Pants
Jonathan Broxton last pitched on May 3, and he had to have elbow surgery in September. After spending seven seasons with the Dodgers, he signed on with Kansas City during the offseason. It already looks like he fits right in. Fellow pitchers Everett Teaford and Tim Collins prove it. [Twitter]...
Dee Gordon Walks, Keeps On Going To Second
Dodgers speedster Dee Gordon takes advantage of a Royals' lapse in concentration, and after drawing a walk, takes off for second before the next batter steps in. On one hand, that move relies on the element of surprise and can only be pulled off once in a blue moon, so why waste it in spring train...
One Of These Two Men Will Win Name Of The Year
Courvoisier Winetavius Richardson. Taco B.M. Monster. Two men enter. Two men leave, but one wins a funny name internet contest. Vote now. [NOTY]...
The Southern Miss Band Chanted "Where's Your Green Card?" At Kansas State's Angel Rodriguez
Kansas State guard Angel Rodriguez was born in Puerto Rico, but don't tell the Southern Miss band that. (Maybe they don't know Puerto Rico is in the United States either, anyway.) Here's what it sounded like on the court late in the first half of their matchup today in Pittsburgh. [TruTV]...
This Is What It Looks Like When A Baseball Team Takes Cover During A Gunfight
A running battle between state police and a group of gunmen broke out outside a Mexican League game in the northern city of Saltillo, interrupting a game between the Saraperos and a local youth team. Fans and players ducked for cover, but there were no injuries reported inside the stadium. Police ki...
Mario Gomez Had A Messi-Like Four Goals In Yesterday's Champions League Match, But Says "I'm No Messi"
Bayern Munich's Mario Gomez snuffed out Swiss side Basel's underdog dreams in the UEFA Champions League with a four-goal performance yesterday (courtesy a lot of help from Franck Ribery). Coming so soon after Lionel Messi's five-goal CL spectacular, comparisons were inevitable. Nonsense, says Gom...
Just A Reminder That Knicks Ticket Prices Are Still Going Up
In the wake of the latest Knicks' meltdown and salting of the earth, we thought it worth the time to ask Madison Square Garden if season ticket prices are still going up as planned next year—an average of 4.9 percent, with most of the increases in the upper levels....
Monta Ellis Sure Sounds Happy To Be Leaving The Warriors
There's nothing subtle about this San Francisco Chronicle report on the Warriors' reaction to last night's trade with the Bucks. Oh, sure, the Golden State locker room was described as "gloomy," what with Monta Ellis, Epke Udoh, and the injured Kwame Brown departing for Milwaukee in exchange for Ste...
The Marlins Are Testing The Safety Of Their Fish Tank By Throwing Baseballs At It
I love me some animal welfare, but can't get too worked up by the Marlins having a tank filled with live fish embedded in the backstop of the new Marlins Park. For one, fish are dumb. For another, the other option, the ocean, is not exactly a paradise. There are predators and seaquakes and boats and...
Polish U8 Soccer Match Abandoned After Fans Light Flares, Generally Go Nuts
Poland has a history of fans disrupting youth soccer games, for what we suspect are shits and giggles. Here's another one—undated, with no details, but at one point a fan is shown with the flag of FC Wągrowiec (apparently distinct from third-tier side Nielba Wągrowiec)....
