Final Four National Anthem Features Athletes From The Four Schools
Instead of hiring a celebrity to butcher the national anthem before tonight’s Final Four in Indianapolis, the NCAA went in another direction—bringing together athlete representatives from the four schools competing tonight.

Just hours after a Kentucky fan told ESPN’s Kaylee Hartung that she was “gorgeous” during an interview, Michigan State cranked up the inappropriate behavior when a Spartans fan invaded Allie LaForce’s live shot to propose to the (already married) CBS reporter. We’re still hours away from tipoff, so ...
P.J. Williams To Cop In DUI Arrest: I Played For FSU And Wanna Go Home
Police arrested P.J. Williams today and charged the former Florida State cornerback with one count of driving under the influence.

Charles Koch Ponied Up To Keep Gregg Marshall At Wichita State
Wichita State men’s basketball coach Gregg Marshall was a hot name after the Shockers handled second-seeded Kansas to make it into the Sweet Sixteen this year.

Warriors Top Suns In A Bonkers Final 30 Seconds
The first 47:30 of the Warriors-Suns game was mostly forgettable, but the final half minute had as much drama as you could ever hope for. Down two, the Warriors got four cracks at the basket—good defensive rebounding, Suns—with Stephen Curry finally nailing a three with eight seconds remaining: ...
Former Bucs GM: We Spied On Justin Blackmon's Favorite Bar For A Week
I rolled my eyes at the claim that an unnamed NFL team had shadowed Jameis Winston on a flight—surely lots of teams had scouts flying into and out of Indianapolis around the combine. But maybe it’s not so crazy. Former Tampa GM Mark Dominik admitted that in 2012, the Buccaneers dispatched a scout to...
Ron Hunter, Just Rolling Around
If you’re wondering about the status of Georgia State coach Ron Hunter, he’s enjoying life and staying upright, for now.

The Lakers' Pyrrhic Victory Lays Bare The NBA's Flawed Incentives
With the game tied 111-111 with 0.7 seconds left in overtime, the Lakers' Jordan Clarkson made a layup to defeat the 76ers.

Wichita State Knows What It's Doing On Offense. At Least One Team Does.
The Wichita State Shockers are impressive for a lot of reasons—their beatdown of geographic rival Kansas and top-10 defense, or for the simple possibility that they can trade punches with Kentucky in a tournament rematch, should WSU defeat Notre Dame later tonight. But at the minimum, praise Gregg M...
Chill Dude Crashes Warriors Postgame Show, Does "Electric Zombie" Dance
This happened after Friday's game between the Pelicans and Warriors, but it was just brought to our attention by a friend of the hairy, dancing gent in the clip above. I become more and more jealous that I am not a Warriors fan with each passing day....

You don't need to know much about wrestling to get what happened here. We start with six seconds left in a match for the 174-lb.

Challenge: Remain Emotionless While Watching This Ron Hunter Clip
