Fox Sports 1, CBS Still Struggling In The Graphics Department
USC freshman Nikola Jovanovic is a frontcourt star for the Trojans, but we have to wonder what age-defying magic they've got over in Serbia. Can they get some to Novak Djokovic? We'd love to watch him dominate tennis for another 75 years....
Dumb Column About Michael Vick: "Who Will Think Of The Children?"
There is a stupid thing in the New York Times today, which if read aloud in the proper cadence would sound quite a bit like a warmup oration for a tar-and-feathering. It's about Michael Vick, of course, and it argues that no team in the NFL should sign Michael Vick, for the sake of the children....
Watch Iowa Coach Fran McCaffery Get Ejected After Bumping An Official

The Lesson Of Black Monday: Your NFL Team Doesn't Know What It's Doing
Yesterday was Black Monday in the NFL. My team's coach got fired. Your team's coach got fired. EVERYONE'S coach got fired. If six Fortune 500 CEOs were all shitcanned on the same day, the markets would crash; there'd be barricades in the streets by noon. But it's a telling sign of football cultu...
T-Wolves Radio Announcer Flips His Shit After Game-Ending No-Call
Last night's Mavericks-Timberwolves game ended on what appears to be an egregious non-call.
