Meet Kyle O'Quinn, The Henny Youngman Of The NCAA Tournament
Friday finally brought some excitement to the table, after the initial thrill of Thursday's day-drinking-instead-of-working had worn off. We had two 15 seeds beating 2 seeds—and one of them was Duke! But the real fun came after Norfolk State University bested Missouri, a team for some reason loads ...
Here's What It Looked Like At Norfolk State's On-Campus Watch Party When They Beat Missouri
Goosebumps in Spartanville....
Rejoice: Duke Loses
After 11 years without a 15-over-2 upset, we've had two in the same day as the Patriot League's Lehigh knocked the Blue Devils out, 75-70....
Here Are The Highlights Of The Final Two Minutes Of Norfolk St.-Missouri, The Tournament's First Real Upset
The NCAA tournament's first 15-over-2 upset since 2001 saw Hampton beat Iowa State was also the MEAC's first round-of-64 win since then, and the Spartans now hold a unique spot atop the all-time winning percentage list in the tournament (having won their first and only game in the Dance). With a ...
Alex Ovechkin Picked Norfolk State (And So Did A Hairless Cat)
Everyone needs to take back all the mean things they said about Alex Ovechkin's third-grade napkin scrawl of a bracket. He nailed the Norfolk State over Mizzou upset, and appears to have them advancing to the Elite Eight....

Steve Spurrier takes his shirt off; it's just what he does. Spring has come to Columbia. [WOLO-TV]...
Today It Was Florida State That Avoided An Upset Thanks To The Refs
Another day, another blown call that changed a game's outcome in Nashville as third-seeded Florida State escaped with a win over St. Bonaventure due to referees missing this violation (hint: when inbounding the ball you have to stay out of bounds) that would have handed the Bonnies the ball under ...
Glory Days: The Most Epic Rugby Try Ever

Watch Creighton's Grant Gibbs Inbound The Ball Off An Alabama Guy's Back And Score
These are always great. Grant Gibbs goes off Nick Jacobs's lumbar for the easy layup, giving us the rare and wonderful highlight/lowlight combo. (Creighton won the game by a point.) Clark Kellogg calls it a "smart schoolyard play," which raises the question: What kind of schoolyard game features i...
Nicolas Cage, Dying (And Humping January Jones) Before Our Very Eyes
We have reached the point where the release of a new Nicolas Cage movie is less fodder for humor than it is an indignity upon everyone involved with its making. It is odd, actually, that movies like Seeking Justice, which will slink across 250 screens today, less a movie release than a walk of shame...
How A Career Ends: I Was Tired Of The Grind Overseas
Tell Me When It's Over is an interview series in which we ask former athletes about the moment they knew their playing days were over. Today: Marc "Showbiz" Brown, likely the greatest basketball player ever to wear a Siena uniform....
What Impoverished High-School Football Players Teach Us About The Virtues Of Capitalism: Nothing, Unless You Are A Lunatic Who Writes For <em>Forbes</em>
So I attended a Preview Screening, for free, of the Academy Oscar® Award-winning Documentary-movie Undefeated, in my capacity as a "Film Critic." Later, and not in the theater, because that's rude, while I was Internetting for fact-checking information in re the 2009 Manassas Tigers High School foot...
Manningwatch 2012: Seriously, What The Hell?
Can you pinpoint the precise moment the Peyton Manning chase turned insane?...
A Clearly Bored Steve Smith Tried (And Failed) To Touch Virtual Graphics On-Air Today
Former Michigan State basketball star Steve Smith is part of the revolving door of Turner basketball analysts feeding the NCAA tournament frenzy on TNT, TBS, and TruTV—and it seems he's already grown bored, given his wandering off-set and into the augmented reality graphics onscreen. It's only mad...
Dick Vitale Couldn't Hear The People Interviewing Him, But That Made The Segment No Less Informative
They're talking a lot of college basketball on the television now. Dick Vitale's the only man in the country who understands it. He knows what's up, and you don't. Certainly the overcaffeinated hosts on WGN's morning show don't. So that's why they're consulting Dickie V. Of course, he can't hear t...
A Reminder That You Are Not Allowed To Blow A Ball Foul
Apparently, everything happened in that Dodgers-Royals game yesterday. With a KC bunt slowly rolling down the line and stubbornly refusing to go foul, Jerry Hairston dropped to all fours and blew....
Kentucky Fans Are Convinced That UPS Is Out To Get Them
Perhaps you've seen this UPS ad, which has aired since conference tournaments began. Seizing on their new tagline of "logistics," it features the famous 1992 regional final between Kentucky and Duke that ended on Christian Laettner's buzzer-beater. A dark moment for UK, but a legendary ending to o...
Dee Gordon Walks, Keeps On Going To Second
Dodgers speedster Dee Gordon takes advantage of a Royals' lapse in concentration, and after drawing a walk, takes off for second before the next batter steps in. On one hand, that move relies on the element of surprise and can only be pulled off once in a blue moon, so why waste it in spring train...
