We Have To Ask
Suggested questions for today's ESPN SportsNation chatters ... • 11 a.m. Fantasy Sports with E. Karabell: Can I have baseball with the movie Legend, please? • 1 p.m. NFL draft guru Mel Kiper: They're throwing around the word guru pretty haphazardly these days, aren't they? • 2 p.m. Trainer Roger May...
Yet Another Reason Never To Visit Hawaii
OK, maybe Duke's a little better than we realized. And maybe Illinois still hasn't learned how to shoot. Here you see Brian Randle, fouling someone, as usual. Duke's good again, everybody: Spread the word. Then cringe....
Welcome Back, Duke Haters
We know the college basketball is officially underway because ... everyone's Duke bile is building! We've missed it; it's nice having villains, even if they haven't actually done that much lately that was particularly villainous....
We Have To Ask
Suggested questions for today's ESPN SportsNation chatters ... • 10 a.m. Your take with Amy Nelson: Oh, you don't want my take, Amy. Believe me. • 10:30 a.m. Mike & Mike in the Morning: Since this is a chat, how am I supposed to tell which one is the fat one and which is the gay one? • Noon. MLB Ins...
That Gripping AFC West
We will confess, we did not watch the Monday Night Football game last night; we had a concert, the Illini were on and, frankly, we're gonna get enough football in the coming days. But we take solace in knowing there's a division worst than the Buzzsaw's NFC West....
In A Year, He'll Invade And Occupy Columbus, Georgia
Nick Saban was supposed to be the savior for Alabama football — and hey, the Dolphins sure have taken off since he left — but the team has collapsed down the stretch, losing their last three games, including last week's home loss to Louisiana-Monroe. Fortunately, Saban has been able to keep the loss...
Sure, He's, Uh, Doing Some Bobcats Scouting
We were busy at this show tonight, so we're late on the uptake, but we will say this: We don't think we'll ever get used to seeing Michael Jordan wearing Illini colors. We wonder if Tar Heels fans will ever get used to it either....
Here We Are, Back In Denver Again
Jeez, didn't Denver just host a "Monday Night Football" game? That's right, they did, just three weeks ago, in the game when Brett Favre made everyone all weepy again. We thought we remember that....
Ron Zook Continues To Piss Intensity
After Illinois' oddly easy win over Northwestern — to win the Sweet Sioux Tomahawk, whatever that is — on Saturday, the most amazing Illini season we can remember draws to a close. Which means, of course ... it's time for the Ron Zook Water Skiing Photo! The man pisses intensity....
Michigan Bids Adieu To Lloyd Carr
It's official: Several Michigan players went to visit Lloyd Carr in his cage on Sunday and it turns out that the only reason he had been standing up at all is that he had been nailed there. Yes, Carr is an ex-parrot. (And Brian Cook had it first, by the way, despite what "ESPN has learned.") Say wha...
We Have To Ask
Suggested questions for today's ESPN SporsNation chatters ... • 11 a.m. Scouts Inc. on NFL losers: Oh bouncing field goal attempt, you are so like life itself. Where will you eventually land? • 12:30 p.m. Did Madden actually say "Tom Brady is playing the best football of any quarterback ever"? And d...
The Celtics Are No Longer Unstoppable
Forgive us, but we wouldn't help but take a tiny, mostly unjustifiable iota of joy from the Celtics' first loss last night to Orlando. We enjoy watching the Celtics play, don't get us wrong, but seriously: It was nice to see a Boston team finally lose a game....
I'm That Mountain Peak Up High
• The best signs from Saturday's edition of Gameday. [Football Jesus Las Vegas] • Nick Young's first leap towards the Dunk Contest. [Mister Irrelevant] • Willie Randolph looks back. [The Mets Are Better Than Sex] • In case you weren't aware or didn't just see it coming, Donovan McNabb is hurt again....

Both Derrick Rose and Chris Douglas-Roberts notched career highs in scoring en route to Memphis's 81-70 win over Connecticut in the finals of the 2K Sports College Hoops Classic benefiting Coaches Versus Cancer. Douglas-Roberts led the way with 33 points to put away Jim Calhoun's Huskies in the se...
Did you know that Hugh V was the Duke of Burgundy? Well maybe if you'd gone to Duke you would have. In other news, Duke fans are actually going to be pissed if they lose to Notre Dame today. Wait, does Duke have football fans? Are you one of them and would you care to comment? Well here's your chanc...
