Who Has Play-In Fever?
Well, the NCAA Tournament kinda starts tonight, with the much-anticipated Florida A&M-Niagara matchup. Winner earns the right to knock Bill Self's toupee off his head come Friday. We enjoy this game every year, but other than Dan Shanoff, we might be the only one. (Even people in Dayton don't like i...

Niagara Purple Eagles
1. We wear purple to stay neutral. MAAC Tournament MVP and freshman Tyrone Lewis was barred from his valedictorian speech at his High School in Levittown, Penn., because of a threat by the ever-popular Bloods. When his sister testified against the gang they shot at Tyrone's car, killing one of his f...
Maryland Terrapins
1.We Burn Couches Better Than You. We Burn Couches....YES we do! Maryland has a history of causing town riots up and down Route 1 in College Park after meaningful victories (and losses). The most famous was in 2002, with 18 arrests, $10,000 worth of damage and eight trips to the hospital after the N...
Serena Rampages Through Australia
Playing like a slightly more masculine version of Roger Federer, Serena Williams spanked Maria Sharapova in the finals of the Australian Open yesterday, winning 6-1, 6-2. It is the third biggest upset in Australian Open history, sort of. Serena came into the tournament ranked 81st in the world. Turn...
Take Me Home, Country Load
There isn't a lede in the world that could possibly do this Georgia Tech fan's Gator Bowl experience any justice, so I'll just go right to the recap:...
Mike Tyson: Portrait of a Rapist With a Corky Tongue
So, here're the mugshots from Iron Mike's arrest. Maybe the Special Olympics could use a boxer this year?...
That Smudge On Your Floor? That's The Big Ten
You know, new Indiana coach Kelvin Sampson isn't known as a disciplinarian in the way that Bob Knight is, but, jeez, he sure does make his players do some pretty publicly humiliating things to their teammates when they lose on national television, doesn't he?...
Vince Carter, Back In Toronto: Awesome Idea!
Last night, the New Jersey Nets — our favorite team to play in NBA Live, by the way; if only they'd just move to Brooklyn already — handled the Toronto Raptors, helped of course by Vince Carter, whose exit from Toronto was one step removed from Tom Cruise refusing to leave the South Park closet unti...
We Have Sought Bliss, And We Have Found It
We know. We know it wasn't the most exciting World Series for everyone to watch. It was sloppy, it was short, it was interrupted by a rainout, it had no Pujols-off-Lidge or Roberts-stealing-second moments. If you were anything other than a fan of the St. Louis Cardinals, it was anything but a memo...
Cardinals. World Series Champions. Holy Crap.
This, friends, pretty much sums it up. This was David Eckstein, and this was us. This is us now, actually....
Oh. Tigers Fans. Honestly, We're Sorry.
On a night when Every. Single. Break. went the Cardinals' way, on a night when Tigers fans had to have been ripping out their eyebrows, on a night when the Cardinals' spikes were made of diamonds and the Tigers' were made of Vasoline ... the Cardinals have taken a 3-1 lead in the World Series and ar...

Those Who Can't Coach, Blog
It is one thing when Tommy Lasorda has some poor minion pretending to write in his voice for his MLB "blog." That's, you know, not real. But something kind of crazy has happened over at independent Raptors blog RaptorBlog: They've "hired" former Raptors coach Butch Carter as a regular blogger for th...
What It Might Be Like When Stephon Marbury And Steve Francis Try To Share One Basketball
Big thanks to J.E. Skeets (who also takes a deeper look at the T.J. Ford/Charlie Villanueva trade) and the Basketball Jones for the heads-up....
"Leon ... POWE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
So we haven't been watching much summer league basketball, if just because the only local games on around these parts are the Knicks, and honestly, if we wanted to watch a snuff film, we'd just go see the new M. Night Shyamalan movie....
Look! A Funny Gary Williams Photo!
Apropos of absolutely nothing, here's a rather silly photo of Maryland head basketball coach Gary Williams. Careful with those wings, Coach....
Of Streaking And Shrieking
At first we thought all the shrieking coming from Maria Sharapova on Tuesday was because of this guy. Apparently not. Sharapova, it seems, has a habit of screaming on every shot, something of which we were blissfully unaware until today, due to the fact that we watch her matches with the sound off. ...
