Davidson Has Some Pretty Sweet Trustees
If you needed another reason to cheer for Davidson in the NCAA Tournament tomorrow night, here's a great one: The school's administration is paying for students to go to Detroit for the Sweet 16....
Chasing Jose, By Pat Jordan
Pat Jordan is the author of 13 books, including "A False Spring," hailed by Time as "one of the best and truest books about baseball, and about coming to maturity in America."

A-Rod Comments On Canseco's Book "Revelation"
Well, that didn't take long: Just five hours after our post on writer Joe Lavin's early purchase of Jose Canseco's new book, which, according to Lavin, claims that Canseco introduced A-Rod to a steroid supplier, A-Rod has responded with characteristic stoicism....
And So The Red Sox Love Begins
Say what you will about having the start of the baseball season happen in Japan, but, all told, it's not too shabby to come into work and watch the end of a game while drinking your coffee. And if you're a Red Sox fan, it's doubly pleasant....
Source: Canseco Accuses A-Rod Of Steroid Abuse, Wife Coveting, In New Book

In The Future, All Kickers Will Have JETPACKS!
Pure blogging brilliance from 100 Percent Injury Rate over at FanIQ: While digging through the suddenly free Sports Illustrated archives, they've discovered a 1979 Frank Deford article about what the NFL will look like in the year 2000. It's as hilarious as you think it is....
All Hail Davidson, Our Link To Why This Is Fun
If Florida hadn't have won the NCAA Title again last year, it would be safe to say that it would be difficult to remember who was the 2006 NCAA Champion. That's because 2006 was the year of George Mason, and the Final Four itself — which, you may recall, was lousy that year — was just a sidebar to ...
Friday NCAA Live Blog: 3 ET Games
All right, the last entry in our first-round live blogs is here; sorry, we're not spending our Friday night live blogging. Lame, we know. Anyway, here are your games: Butler vs. South Alabama, Georgetown vs. Maryland-Baltimore County, Texas vs. Austin Peay and Connecticut vs. San Diego. After the j...
Friday NCAA Live Blog: 12:20 ET Games
All right, we've been told that the Gawker servers are ready to rock today, and we will have no more problems. We have faith! We are not so certain, however, that today's games will be any better than yesterday's. (Duke-Belmont excepted.) The early games aren't inherently promising. We have Gonzaga...

Thursday NCAA Live Blog: 2:35 ET Games
Because we're complete morons, and who knows if you'll even see any of this, but we're going to go ahead and try to live blog this last set of games. Well worth all the effort we've put in, absolutely. Grrr. Anyway, a full slate of afternoon games for you: We have PIttsburgh vs. Oral Roberts, UNLV ...
Bloggers Vs. Beefy Security Guards: WHO WILL WIN?
As much as we might enjoy the mental image of the Dallas Morning News' Tim McMahon, the Los Angeles Times' Andrew Kamenetzky and True Hoop's Henry Abbott pulling the old crouch-and-shove on a security guard and high-stepping it into the locker room, frantically typing while running around ina circle...
Bob Costas Addresses Last Week's Comments
Last night, while preparing for today's tournament lunacy and trying to find a picture of Mississippi Valley State's logo (he is Ming, and he is merciless), our phone rang. We didn't have time to answer it, so 20 minutes later, we checked our messages. It was Bob Costas. He wanted to discuss, on rec...

The Brackets Have Been Out For Only 15 Hours, And Everyone's Already An Expert
The best part, to us, about Selection Sunday is how quickly the entirely unpredictable merges into the familiar. When the brackets are announced, every matchup seems deliciously random. Pittsburgh vs. Oral Roberts? Weird. But after about an hour of it sinking in, each matchup becomes fated to have ...
The Brackets, They Be Out
The brackets are out. Make sure to join our Pants Party pool, and Download our Deadspin Printable Bracket. (PDF, of course.) And, after the jump, enjoy Storming The Floor's instant analysis. We'll be all over everything tomorrow. The tournament! Wee! (By the way, we're having a little trouble with ...
Bob Costas Thinks You're A Loser
Some of you out there might like Bob Costas. Some of you might not. We've always been partial to the guy, not just because he's a St. Louis guy, and not just because he did the intro to the final episode of "Cheers," though that certainly helps. Costas is an obviously intelligent guy, if a bit smugg...
