Why Do We Consider The NFL Fun Again?
Anyone who watched the NFL last season ended up captivated by two charismatic, outsized personalities: Clinton Portis and Chad Johnson. Every week, each did something creative, original and undeniably fun; we found ourselves rooting for their on-field exploits much more than we would have otherwis...

Mike Anderson Will Vanquish All Foes
Over the weekend, the Missouri Tigers, hoping to finally rid themselves of the horror that was Quin Snyder, hired Mike Anderson, the former head coach at UAB, to take over their head spot....

NCAA Roundup:All GMU, All The Time
• As exciting as the LSU-Texas and George Mason-Connecticut games were, the Florida-Villanova and UCLA-Memphis games were dogs. Particularly that last one; it had been a long time since we'd seen a team back into the Final Four. Not supposed to work that way. • One of the more underpublicized fact...
George Mason Makes The World A Better Place
Obviously, we'll be talking about this all week, but we'd just like to start off by saying a world in which George Mason can beat Michigan State, North Carolina and Connecticut in the span of a week is a world we feel newly invigorated about living in....
Order Some Oversized Shorts For George Mason
They're going to need them in Indianapolis, because these guys have huge balls. They just beat UConn in overtime, 86-84. The amount of poise they showed down the stretch was amazing. Their post players in particular made plays down the stretch that were calm, poised, and smooth....
George Mason Continuing To Fight The Good Fight
If you're not watching it, I think you probably should be. George Mason has battled back to take the lead again over UConn with about 11:00 to play, forcing the Huskies to take a timeout. They've got heart, these Patriots. Even with all the ridiculous games the tournament has had so far, this one,...
Mason Doesn't Know It's A Show, They Think It's A Damn Fight
Actually, UConn leads by 9, which doesn't make it sound like it's that close of a game. But it was just a couple of minutes ago that Mason did briefly hold the lead, before UConn started burying three-balls like Larry Bird on All-Star Saturday Night. After that, the Huskies responded to close the ...
UCLA To Meet The Tapeworms
This one was the college basketball equivalent of a 6-3 Browns/Bengals game in a freezing rain. For a while there, it didn't look like either team would get to 50 points. Much like Ben Howland, this game was not pretty....
UCLA Refusing To Be Whooped
The Bruins have taken a 28-21 lead with them into halftime after sweating Memphis into their worst shooting performance of the year. They're 0-for-10 from behind the line, and 10-of-37 overall. Most tricks are not impressed by 21-point halves....

All About The Big Men
LSU and Texas are tied at 26 at the half after Darrell Mitchell pulled a little pickpocket job and scored a quick two on an easy lay-up at the buzzer....
Memphis Looks To Whoop That Trick
This kinda makes me wish I was a Memphis fan. The good people at The Realests noticed the Memphis dance team doing the "Whoop that Trick" dance from the movie Hustle and Flow, which takes place in Memphis. And then they dug up this video of Memphis fans taunting some UAB fans with the same song an...
Poor UConn Just Can't Catch A Break
UConn head coach Jim Calhoun certainly was at his whiny best last night, which is odd, considering that Washington was hit with 33 fouls, while UConn had just 20. I'd go so far as to say that he was behaving like Jim Boeheim... if Jim Boeheim was a 10-year-old Girl Scout who couldn't sell any of h...

Connecticut Huskies (29-3) vs. Washington Huskies (26-6) When: Tonight, 9:57 p.m. ET Where: Washington, D.C....
Live Report From The Atlanta Regional
William Hocutt, whom you've read about in these parts before, was in Atlanta for both the Duke-LSU and West Virginia-Texas games last night, and, even though he's a Duke fan, he pulled himself together to file a report from the scene for us....
