This Is What It Looks Like When A Baseball Team Takes Cover During A Gunfight
A running battle between state police and a group of gunmen broke out outside a Mexican League game in the northern city of Saltillo, interrupting a game between the Saraperos and a local youth team. Fans and players ducked for cover, but there were no injuries reported inside the stadium. Police ki...
Why I'm Not Filling Out A Bracket This Year
The "official" NCAA Division I Men's Basketball Tournament bracket contains some cautionary language in the fine print:...
Report: Mike D'Antoni Quit Because James Dolan Wouldn't Trade Carmelo For Deron Williams
Oh, you didn't think Mike D'Antoni would go in peace, did you? You didn't think this story would pass without details of hilarious standoffs between D'Antoni and Jimmy Dolan, did you? And you didn't think Mike D'Antoni would leave without all his money, did you?...
Say Goodbye To Mumblecore: How The Duplass Brothers Rise Above The Ramble
It's really easy to hate mumblecore. Not the movies—just that name. A collection of like-minded low-budget indie films about 20-somethings (usually white and pasty) trying to find their way in the world, "mumblecore" calls to mind all the weakest tendencies in these movies—specifically, their ineffe...
JaVale McGee Did Another JaVale McGee Thing Last Night
We already showed you JaVale McGee's, um, pass to Jason Kidd from last night. And we still think what happened Monday, when he cherry-picked after trying to catch a pass with his face before giving up, is without equal in McGee's ceaseless catalogue of hilarity, a virtuoso blend of the sort of low...
A Look Back At 30 Years Of March Madness TV Graphics
CBS & Turner Broadcasting are using the same (but effective) graphics package for this year's NCAA Tournament as they did in 2011, with a small addition of noting when teams are in the bonus or double-bonus with fouls. That having been said, the format and amount of information displayed onscreen d...
How To Watch The NCAA Tournament At Work
The play-in games—sorry, "first round"—are halfway done, so tomorrow sees the start of the traditional and comprehensible 64-team bracket that makes up March Madness.

From Chad Ford's chat on ESPN.com today:...
Mike D'Antoni Resigns As Knicks Coach
At 1:44, we received an email saying Mike D'Antoni was stepping down as Knicks coach. It supposedly came "straight from the D'Antoni family," but we hadn't dealt with the source before, couldn't confirm, and wasn't particularly the kind of thing that's worth getting wrong....
Linsanity Was Unbelievable; Carmelodrama Is Just Incomprehensible
There was no Knicks game last night. But the Knicks—the doomed, imploding Knicks—are today's big sports news in New York, even if Carmelo Anthony hasn't really requested a trade, even if Mike D'Antoni is secure in his coaching job*, even if the last game the team played was a tight road loss in Chic...
The IRQ Car Decal: Noble Or Horrible?
I hate Euro Decals. HATE THEM. They are the fucking scourge of the highways: one goddamn SUV after another with some precious OBX circle sticker planted somewhere above the trunk handle. People like slapping Euro decals on their car because they like letting you know where they spend their leisure t...

The Shocking Proof That Tim Tebow and Tebowing Are Cosmically Linked
Tebowing! Remember those days, before the Linsanity smacked us all upside the head? Man, that was a fun time, what with all the kneeling and praying, sometimes near mountains, in utero, or on embarrassing holiday photos....
March Madness Means Charles Barkley Fueling Your Future Night Terrors
The odd, temporary marriage between CBS and Turner during the NCAA tournament means occasional instances of one's chocolate being found in another's peanut butter, or vice-versa if you will. College basketball fans get a taste of TNT's Inside the NBA wackiness while NBA mavens let Jim Nantz singleh...
Tony Gwynn Is So Not Impressed With Your Baseball Analysis Technology
Bloomberg Sports must have developed one hell of a piece of baseball-analyzing software, because the Los Angeles Dodgers seem to be absolutely dumbfounded by its profound brilliance....
JaVale McGee Gave Jason Kidd The Easiest Steal Of His Career Tonight

President Obama Called His Team's Shooting "Terrible," So MVSU's Kevin Burwell Hit A Three In Front Of Him Then Talked Junk
The first half of tonight's opening game of the NCAA tournament featured awful shooting by both teams, and President Obama rightly called out both Western Kentucky and Mississippi Valley State on it during his halftime conversation with Clark Kellogg. While some players might have considered that...
Dolphins Trade Brandon Marshall To Chicago Because Of Peyton Manning
Why would the Dolphins trade their best receiver to the Bears just two years after executing a deal to get him in the first place? Easy: To get Peyton Manning.
