Welcome to Wild Card Weekend
Praise Jesus, Adonai, Allah, Buddha, Vishnu, Yaweh, Zeus, Odin, Bill Brasky, and their father, Tim Tebow.

Knicks Take Brief 2nd Quarter Lead, Lose
On a team loaded with horrendous contracts Jared Jeffries is often overlooked.

Tomorrow Night, We Join The Varsity Letters Crew
So, it's now January 2008, and you know what that means: It's time to unleash self-deprecating but subtly (?) self-aggrandizing posts reminding you we have a book coming out in exactly 20 days. And tomorrow night, we'll be reading from it....

Child About To Become Somewhat Less Smelly
When we were a kid, we had a T-shirt that said "I Root For Two Teams: The Cardinals And Whoever Plays The Cubs." We found this shirt incredibly clever when we were 10, and we wore it pretty much every other day. But couldn't hold a candle to 11-year-old David Witthoft of Connecticut....
SHOTY Final Four: Elijah Dukes Vs. Isiah Thomas
Because it's New Years Eve, and we're taking tomorrow off, we figured we'd go ahead and let this post ride the rest of the night and all day tomorrow. (At least until we do our "ZOOOOK" post after the Illini shock the world in the Rose Bowl.)...

"Attention: It's 5 p.m., and the San Francisco Zoo is now closed. If you are still here by 5:15, we will release the tigers. Thank you." Yes, a tiger got loose at the SF Zoo on Tuesday, mauling three people, one of whom died. Tragic, to be sure; but imagine the mayhem if it would have been a Fuck Li...

Coach Jim Rackley Has No Off Switch
Somewhere, Erin Andrews, Bonnie Bernstein and Suzy Kolber are watching this, and they're remembering the early days, back before their cushy current gigs, back when they had to interview people who weren't used to being on television and, in fact, thought they were still in the locker room.

You've marveled at the current race for the SHOTY, and thrilled to the excitement of the DHOF. But now it's time for the biggest contest of them all; and by that, I mean the smallest.
