Nebraska Stormed The Court After Beating Unranked Minnesota

Three Good Reasons To Doubt That An Unheralded Receiver Actually Ran A 4.19 40-Yard Dash
Northern Iowa receiver Terrell Sinkfield wowed scouts at the University of Minnesota's pro day on Monday.

When Cops Are Trying To Accost Opposing Basketball Players In The Middle Of A Game, You Know Something Crazy Went Down
Last night's St. John's-Notre Dame bout at The Bra was an easy win for the 24th-ranked Irish, but it came at a cost: a Senior Night scuffle between ND's Cameron Biedscheid and SJU swingman Sir'Dominic Pointer resulted in both being ejected for fighting and a mandatory one-game suspension.

Sanity: The Panthers Aren't Getting Taxpayer Money To Renovate Their 17-Year-Old Stadium
It's an inescapable conclusion at this point, but the NFL doesn't want a team in Los Angeles. A big empty lot, with the potential for a new stadium and team, is far more valuable to the league and the owners as a threat than as an actual franchise. As teams attempt to wring taxpayer money out of the...
It Takes A Space Cadet To Be An Aston Villa Supporter These Days
These are dark days at Villa Park. The Claret and Blue helped found the Premiership 20 years ago, but find themselves in danger of being relegated for the first time unless they can climb out of the EPL basement.

The Golf Boys Have Returned To Rap Horribly At You

Start Your Weekend With An Inspirational Quote From Bob Knight
Bob Knight has a new book out next week. It's called The Power of Negative Thinking: An Unconventional Approach to Achieving Positive Results, because Bob Knight is still playing his (lucrative) role as college basketball's senile great-uncle. He sat down with Andrew Goldman for the New York Times M...

Coach K Hates Fun And Games
A wonderful thing happened in Charlottesville, Va., last night: the Virginia Cavaliers defeated No. 3 Duke, 73-68.
