Tyler Hansbrough Regrets NOTHINGGGGGG!!!!!!
Via 850: The Buzz and The Big Lead, here's North Carolina's Tyler Hansbrough jumping off a roof into (hopefully) a pool....
Hugh Douglas Wants To Kill Me
Being a sports reporter is, at times, an absolutely horrible job. Sure you get to watch games, travel, and interact with athletes, but there is a horrendous downside. (Which is pretty much everything else.) And this is never more disturbingly clear than when a reporter has their first (or 50th ) awf...

Miami Hurricanes SID Seems To Be A Bit Of A Monster
Today's entirely creepy and queasy story comes to us from ... well, from The U, which probably isn't entirely surprising. But this isn't a fun tale of coked up strippers or the Seventh Floor Crew. This one involves child porn and the school's child porn....
And Now ... A Coach Reaction Montage
As Virginia Tech fell to North Carolina on the final shot, Dick Vitale declared "there should be an investigation" if Tech doesn't receive an at-large berth to the tournament, which does hold a modicum of truth. There are 65 invites, and with 12 ACC teams, that leaves 53 slots for the entire country...
Racial Controversy In College Basketball? Certainly Not!
CBS Sportsline columnist Mike Freeman has taken issue with all of the media attention afforded to North Carolina's Tyler Hansbrough. So he wrote a column about it, and, as they say, hilarity ensued. It was a rather amusing rant by Freeman as he took aim at Dick Vitale, Sports Illustrated, and Bill ...

Beijing Olympics To Be Devoid Of Dramatic Closeups, Mechanical Sharks
Bad news for all those who actually watch the opening and closing ceremonies at the Summer Olympics; Steven Spielberg has dropped out as director at the Beijing Games. Or actually he was going to be the "artistic adviser," whatever that means. All I know is that now my dream of watching Dennis Weave...
Tom Coughlin's Audacious Hands Of Hope And Joy
As much as we enjoyed the Giants-Packers NFC Championship Game on Sunday — we were hardly rooting for the Giants, but hey, what's more exciting than a guy finally hitting a game-winning field goal on his third try? — we found it somewhat disorienting: We are absolutely not used to see Giants coach T...
Read Our Site, Or This UFC Guy Will Pummel You
Those of you kids who like the Ultimate Fighting Championships — and we will confess a fascination ourselves — are surely familiar with Matt Hughes. Not only is he a nine-time UFC welterweight champion, he's also author of the New York Times bestselling autobiography Made In America (his co-author...
NFC Championship: First Half
Sorry for the delayed start, but we're underway in Green Bay, Wisconsin, which I'm told is positively lovely this time of year. The Packers are starting with the ball and Favre comes out in a succession of naked bootlegs. Perhaps this morning's episode of the Mayne Event was actually trying to tell ...

Strahan Would Totally Tap That
At first glance it's moral support from an unlikely source: Giants defensive end Michael Strahan says that Tony Romo and Jessica Simpson should be given their space. Leave Romo alone! He's a human being! Etc., etc. But you and I know what the real deal is here. Hey Tony, if you ever get tired of her...
This T-Shirt Will Inject You With Something
A reader sends in this T-shirt he had signed about 20 years ago. It features signatures from Jose Canseco, Mo Vaughn and Roger Clemens, all three of which were prominently featured in the Mitchell Report last week....
Dennis Green Mocks Himself For Cash
Say what you will about former Buzzsaw "coach" Dennis Green, but you can't say he's not entrepreneurial. He has moved to copyright the phrase "They Are Who We Thought They Were."...
I Hope Hugh Had The Time Of Your Life (Good Riddance)
The game to watch right now is Virginia Tech and Boston College, tied at 16-16. Earlier, Central Florida pulled away from Tulsa and won 44-23, and UCF tailback Kevin Smith is close to breaking the single-season rushing record set by Barry Sanders. Navy's water invasion of Army proves successful for ...
Reports Indicate Les Miles Reports Contradict Other Les Miles Reports - A Special Report
There was a really cool fake punt in the Tulsa-UCF game, because Tulsa's quarterback was lined up at punter. Obvious fake, right? Well, he's actually averaging 40 yards a punt, which is better than their main punter. He also installed the goalposts before the game, and sometimes mans the down marker...
