Your Final Four Pants Party Update
All right, with just three games left in the NCAA Tournament, we thought we'd check in with the ole D—-spin Pants Party NCAA Tournament pool....
Baseball Season Preview: St. Louis Cardinals
You might remember, from back at the beginning of the NFL season, when we previewed each team by having a writer we liked write about their favorite team....
As Billy Donovan Turns ...
It has been a while since a sport's biggest stage has been overwhelmed with something as tedious as a potential coaching change. The most famous example, of course, was when Bill Parcells had his one foot out the door while supposedly preparing his New England Patriots in the Super Bowl. We never fe...
One More Look At That Sheed Shot
So we know we just wrote about this in the NBA roundup, and that you've probably seen it on "SportsCenter" or somewhere else already, but, frankly, we just want to have it on our site: Here's Rasheed Wallace's batshit crazy 60-footer last night....

Peyton Manning Much Funnier Than Anyone Could Have Guessed
MJD mentioned the Peyton Manning-hosted "Saturday Night Live" yesterday, but we finally sat down to watch it today. We have to say: We were actually quite impressed. He's sure as hell a lot funnier than Michael Jordan was on there, and definitely superior to Dane freaking Cook....
To Watch Tonight
What to watch after the tarpon wins it all ... • Arena football: Dallas at Orlando. Football and air conditioning; made for each other. [ESPN] • College women's basketball: NCAA tournament, Greensboro Regional final, Arizona State vs. Rutgers; Fresno Regional final, Connecticut vs. LSU. Ah, anything...
Going Bonkers In D.C.
Of the teams that reached the Final Four, none seemed to take more joy from it than Georgetown, who not only have gone the longest between visits, but won in such an inspiring fashion. How'd they celebrate in DC? By marching all over the place, as documented by unsilent majority over at No Mas. It's...
Leftovers: In Love With Ryan Howard

Your Long National Nightmare Is Over
Over the weekend, Pro Football Talk reported that everybody's favorite mathematician Joe Theismann was likely out as Monday Night Football "analyst," with his likely replacement being the infinitely superior Ron Jaworski. Today, The New York Times gets in on the act, confirming it with ESPN sources....
Fun With Misprinted T-Shirts
This seems to happen every year, but we still get a kick out of it: It's the Final Four T-shirt that gets put together a wee bit too early. Forgive Hoyas fans who buy this as a taunting joke and Tar Heels fans who grab it just to imagine what might have been, had they remembered the basic tenet of p...
NCAA Tourney Blogdome: Table For Four
Around the blog and back on Sunday's games in the NCAA Basketball Tournament ......
From A Rote Tourney Comes A Thrilling Final Four
Of all the little traditions of college basketball, our favorite might be the cutting down of the nets. It's something unique to the game of basketball; in other sports, it's the fans who cause the on-field destruction after a victory. (And we're damn good at it too.) We do always worry a little abo...
We've Got Our Four
I asked for a game that would be close at the end, and technically, I didn't really get it. Overtime, as it turned out, was a time for beating some Tarheel ass. Georgetown trailed the entire game, managed to tie it up on a late Jonathan Wallace three, and then Carolina just decided they didn't feel...
To Watch Tonight...
• NBA. Denver Nuggets @ Cleveland Cavaliers. LeBron vs. Darko never gets the same amount of hype as LeBron vs. Carmelo. It's not fair. 8:00, ESPN. • Women's College Basketball. NCAA Tournament. George Washington vs. North Carolina. I think I've had about enough Tarheel blue for the day. 9:30, ESPN2....
That's A Whole Lot Of Points
That was a lively little half of basketball. The pace, you'd have to think, favors North Carolina. There are 94 points on the board already, a total that has to be as uncomfortable for Georgetown as the 27 dogtags that Patrick Ewing Sr. is wearing....
Wouldn't Be A Final Flour Without Florida
The wheels were very very slow to come off for Oregon. They fought and they battled, and they were in the game with under a minute left ... but it always sort of felt like a slow death march for the Ducks, as you knew that foul trouble and Florida's advantage in the paint would kill them at some poi...
LeftoverDome...
• Ron Artest might retire. Ron Artest might also eat a light bulb. I don't know what to tell you. [ESPN] • You know who Tim Floyd's sissy fit really hurt? People who bet on USC. [Just Call me Juice] • Maybe the Texans didn't handle the David Carr situation very well. [Signal to Noise] • So, Jonathan...
Florida Overcomes Some Ugliness
Florida spent the first ten minutes of the game handling the ball like the handsome gentleman who spent so much time attempting to fix the net. They looked extremely uncomfortable to start the game, turning the ball over and being totally out of sync....
