Baylor Assistant Damion McKinney Wore A Tablecloth As A Necktie To The National Championship
I believe that's Baylor women's assistant coach Damion McKinney as spotted before last night's 80-61 victory that capped off a 40-0 season for the lady Bears. I have no idea what he is wearing as a necktie. Did he eat at Red Lobster and forget to remove his bib? Was he arguing before the United Sta...
High School Girl Charged With Assault After Brutal Soccer Beatdown
Throw out the formalities when Lewisville and Chester get together, that's what I always say. The South Carolina schools met for a women's soccer match Monday evening, and it ended with the police being called. That New Mexico-BYU game has nothing on this one....
Geno Auriemma, Mr. Women's Basketball
"Does this look like the office of a fucking egomaniac?" He makes a sweeping gesture with his arm. A coach's office. Small, cluttered. Papers strewn across his desk, the papers inked with symbols in odd patterns, like ancient hieroglyphics, waiting for future generations to decode them. X's and O's,...
Baylor's Brittney Griner Is The Second Woman To Ever Dunk In An NCAA Tournament Game
Brittney Griner's dunk early in the second half against Florida gave top-ranked Baylor a 13-point cushion, but it was only the second time a woman had dunked in a NCAA tournament game, after Tennessee's Candace Parker did it twice against Army back in the 2006 tourney. The throwdown was Griner's s...
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...
Cornell Defender Sends Her Team To The Frozen Four On Dazzling Goal In Triple Overtime
Lauriane Rougeau sent Boston University packing, and the season high home crowd of 2,143 Cornell fans into hysterics, when she slipped this one past the goalie to end what amounted to two full games of hockey played. Cornell won the wild game, that featured a three-goal-comeback by each team, 8-7....
The U.S. Women's Open Of Bowling Will Be Held Outdoors, In The Least Magical Place On Earth
What you're looking at is an artist's conception of the U.S. Women's Open, which will follow in the footsteps of the NHL's Winter Classic and the NCAA's aircraft carrier game by being held outside, under the desert sun, in downtown Reno, Nevada. I can't think of a better gift for your worst enemy....
The "Scam Cup": How A Very American TV Event Gives U.S. Gymnasts A Leg Up On The Olympic Competition
If you listen to USA Gymnastics and NBC, it's one of the most important Olympic tune-ups. If you listen to the rest of the world, it's a glorified showcase for American athletes. So maybe it's fitting that the American Cup's highest-scoring female gymnast wasn't even entered in the competition. ...
Georgia Soccer Player Arrested For Shoving $1.06 Worth Of Hash Browns Down Her Pants
It's not that University of Georgia soccer player Carli Shultis didn't have the money to pay for the hash browns she craved at the Bulldog Cafe last Tuesday morning. It's just that, well, it feels good to get one over on the man by sticking those crispy tater treats down one's pants....
"Shitballs": Curling Profanity Is Strange
You can throw out the record books when the Alberta and Quebec women's curling teams get together. It got pretty heated yesterday at the Scotties Tournament of Hearts (Canada's women's championship), when Alberta skip Heather Nedohin let loose a creative swear word after coming up short on her sho...
The Best And Worst Of Women's Hoops, In One Insane Crossover
Chloe Rothman is a freshman point guard for the D2 Merrimack Warriors, and at a recent game, broke 40 percent of the opposing team's ankles with one ridiculous crossover. Great move, poor defensive spacing. Sadly, the wide-open layup attempt with the 5-on-3 advantage was not successful. [via Barst...
Help Us Identify These Hundred-Year-Old Sports Photos
A reader named Sam sent along some wonderful old photos, taken more than a century ago, of what appear to be local sports teams. Sam says the photos were in the possession of his late grandmother, but they have no provenance beyond that....
In Victory For Tokenism Everywhere, Qatar Will Send Two Women To The Olympics
For the first time, Qatar is including women on its 2012 Olympic team. A swimmer and a sprinter will represent the country in London, an announcement made (totally coincidentally, we're sure) on the same day Qatar's bid to host the 2020 Olympics was released. [AP]...
Dan Borislow Told His Players To Call Him "Daddy," And Other Tales From A Miserable MagicJack Locker Room
We've told you all about Dan Borislow, the renegade owner who managed to bring down the whole of Women's Professional Soccer. His abusive, racist, sexist emails. His "Batmobile-like motorcycle." His complete inability to run a team, and his total unwillingness to market it....

Apologies for the lousy video quality, but here's a fight that erupted between Ohio's Porsha Harris and CMU's Jas'Mine Bracey during the Chippewas' 67-53 win over the Bobcats last night in Mount Pleasant....
The Banned Boca Raton Women's Professional Soccer Team Will Keep Playing In Zombie Form
Women's Professional Soccer's year-long battle with its ultimate nemesis, magicJack owner and giant motor-tricycle aficionado Dan Borislow, has finally come to a close. WPS may have escaped extinction last month, but they can't escape Dan Borislow....
