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.

Northwestern's Attempted Halftime Buzzer-Beater Didn't Go In The Basket, But It Did Hit Somebody In The Head
Northwestern's consolation for missing out on the NCAA Tournament was hosting one of tonight's opening NIT games against Akron. While they missed this attempt to score before the halftime buzzer, I'm pretty sure knocking the ESPN camera assistant's hat off is worth a couple hundred tickets at a N...
President Obama Called His Team's Shooting "Terrible," So MVSU's Kevin Burwell Hit A Three In Front Of Him Then Talked Junk
The first half of tonight's opening game of the NCAA tournament featured awful shooting by both teams, and President Obama rightly called out both Western Kentucky and Mississippi Valley State on it during his halftime conversation with Clark Kellogg. While some players might have considered that...
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...
Sterling Moore Makes A Funny, Scares Crap Out Of Agent
Sterling Moore is a cornerback for the New England Patriots, and as it is the offseason, Sterling Moore went to Las Vegas. Sterling Moore had a fun time in Vegas, as athletes and non-athletes often do. Perhaps there was gambling, maybe women or alcohol, or even Cirque Du Soleil. Whatever his recreat...
Opposing Team Pays Terrell Owens To Play Road Game, Promptly Knocks Him Over The Wall
Terrell Owens's contract with the Allen Wranglers stipulates he only has to play home games, but he's let it be known he can be enticed to hop on the metaphorical bus with the rest of his team if the opposition agrees to pay him separately. It appears that's what happened today, as T.O. took to th...

Long Beach State Is Going Dancing
The Long Beach State 49ers played five teams in the RPI's top 25 this season in their out-of-conference schedule. They lost all of them, sure, but at least in this instance the burnishing of losses to quality teams prepared Dan Monson's squad for the tangled mayhem of Big West rivalries....

Last Night's Arena Football Season-Opener Was A Farce
Arena Football's 25th season kicked off last night, but it would be a stretch to call what was played in Orlando "football."
