Channing Tatum Is Funny. Really. <em>21 Jump Street</em>, Reviewed.
1. It's surprising that it took this long for someone to mix the peanut butter of Apatowian bromance comedies with the chocolate of the buddy cop film. They're natural allies, with their undercurrents of false machismo, crippling fear of women and unmistakable male panic. It's tough not to lament th...
Fab Melo Is Ineligible Because Of Academics. Well, That's No Fun.
And here we were hoping it was something juicy keeping Melo out of the NCAA Tournament, like Jim Boeheim finally cracking down on the scourge of recreational marijuana usage, or Melo shooting a man in Reno just to watch him die. Syracuse's brief statement didn't shed much light:...
ESPN Keeps Interrupting Its Programming To Give You Gambling Advice In The Most Annoying Way Possible
"Bullshit." "Ridiculous." "Pissing me off." "Hopefully it never happens again."...
Jack, The Georgetown Bulldog, May Need Knee Surgery
At eight years old, Jack is no spring chicken. But he recently injured his leg jumping to the couch, and is going for a second opinion to see if surgery will be required. Not a great day for the Hoyas, who won a tournament bracket based on tuition. Not a great day for Jack, because he's a Bulldog an...
JaVale McGee Does Goofy Thing, Lazy Thing, Awesome Thing All In One Sequence
I mean, this is the definitively JaVale McGee video, isn't it? The good, the bad and the ugly, all in the span of about ten seconds. JaVale gets hit in the face with the ball on the fast break, turning it over. Then he neglects to get back on defense. But wait! The Wizards get the steal and airmai...
AHL Player Turns Into Crazy Person, Decides To Fight Everybody And Their Goalie
Steve MacIntyre is one of those guys who's always up and down from the NHL, and garners more penalty minutes than scoring chances. So, even with the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins, he's exactly the sort you'd expect to completely lose his mind and challenge the entire opposing team to a fight. All...
In The Name Of Competitive Balance, The NFL Plays The Bully And The Tyrant
The NFL is a dictatorship masquerading as a benevolent dictatorship. In redistributing $46 million in salary cap space from the Redskins and Cowboys to the rest of the league, the NFL is enforcing laws that don't exist, playing Robin Hood with blackmail, and generally continuing a tradition of arbit...
Onscreen Typos Don't Get Much More Unfortunate Than This
It's bad enough 10 seed Iowa State gets to play at home, but Iowa City market station KCRG-Cedar Rapids just had to play the stereotype card, didn't they? (Not to mention Green Bay dropped the UW part of their name some time ago.) We can only imagine what they called the Hawkeyes' first round oppon...
Tampa Radio Host Hopes The Buccaneers Sign "Those Three Monkeys" In Free Agency [UPDATES]
Dan Sileo's your standard issue jock-turned-shock-jock, currently plying his trade at WDAE ("The Sports Animal") in Tampa. A former U of Miami lineman who had a brief stint in the pros, he got into a bit of trouble for exaggerating the length and importance of his NFL career....
Packers TE Tom Crabtree Plays Dodgeball With Little Kids, Basically Tells Them To Suck Failure
That's Crabtree paying a recent visit to the seventh and eighth graders from St. Paul Lutheran School in Green Bay. I have no idea why a backup NFL tight end is making dodgeball videos with sound effects, but that's beside the point. Watch as Crabtree sends one of these youngsters to Ouchtown at th...
Tooth Fairy Inflation Will Leave You Dead And Broke
My kid lost her first tooth a while back. The tooth was a stubborn little bastard, sitting there wiggling for weeks before finally breaking away from her gums and dangling there by a small thread of connective tissue. My kid refused to give the tooth one final yank to get it out, which drove me nuts...
Redskins And Cowboys Lose Future Cap Space As Penalty For Wild Pre-Lockout Spending, Because Of Some Rule Roger Goodell Just Made Up

Life As A Walk-On With Duke's 1992 National Championship Team
When Billy McCaffrey and Crawford Palmer transferred after Duke won the 1991 NCAA title, the Blue Devils had an opening, and then-senior Ron Burt won a spot on the team as a walk-on. Our friend Alan Siegel spoke to Burt for Slate about the trials and triumphs of unexpectedly earning a bit part on th...
UCLA Basketball Players Fought Each Other Long Before Ben Howland
The year was 1945, and John Wooden was still in the Navy. It would be three more years before he took over in Westwood, but the UCLA Bruins under coach Wilbur Johns were already using revolutionary training methods....
Potential Potential Franchise Quarterback Already Prompting Redskins Fans To Buy Season Tickets
One can only imagine the fictional non-libelous scene yesterday morning when Redskins owner Dan Snyder opened The Washington Times to find a story about how the Redskins' mega-trade with the Rams to go after Robert Griffin III could revive the team's moribund fan base. If that didn't make Snyder cac...

Picking The NCAA Tournament By Following The Real Money
Every pick'em pool shows you who pickers are picking in the NCAA Tournament. But keep in mind those numbers include oblivious office drones choosing teams based on best mascot or uniform color.
