Shock & Awe: Faces Of March Madness, Day Three
Underdogs are on crisis alert, as only five teams from non-money conferences remain in the tournament: Lehigh, Ohio, Creighton, Norfolk State, and Xavier.

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...
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...

Big Nut Has Finally Accumulated Enough Flair To Be Employable At T.G.I. Friday's
Jon Peters—known to those in Ohio State enthusiast circles as Big Nut—makes regular appearances on television during Buckeye games due mostly to his ridiculous appearance.

Soviet Russian Wayne Rooney Presents: Tottenham Hotspur Vs. Manchester United Open Thread
Because soccer is Communist, we figured we'd have a bit of Party-approved fun. Fox Soccer says it's a "Clash of the Giants," though they've been portraying everything, including infomercials, that way for a week. Here's your open thread—er, открытая тема—for today's match at White Hart Lane....

The Nets Pulled Off A Perfect Double Alley-Oop
This one was executed so perfectly, it's almost as if the Nets drew up this double alley-oop in the first quarter of a win over the Mavericks. While it's not the first one we've seen this season, DeShawn Stevenson to MarShon Brooks to Kris Humphries certainly breaks the record for most capital let...
