96-team NCAAT field could come as early as 2011
I’m not going to get into what I actually think of this move by the money-hungry NCAA because my blood pressure needs to stay at acceptable levels. Every time I hear about this move it makes me question the entire NCAA as a whole. But despite any negative feelings from sports writers, fans, coaches or […]
Video: I really feel bad
I saw this on Sportscenter the other night and couldn’t help to feel horrible for this girl.

Four Bytes for the Final Four

Sweet Sixteen Preview
After a first two rounds that matched the drama of any in recent history, we are but 48 hours away from Sweet Sixteen play. I don’t know if it’s ideal for ratings, but the most rabid sports fan couldn’t have scripted it any better. You have elite, “blue blood” programs (Kentucky, Duke, Syracuse, Michigan State), […]
Who cares what Obama thinks? Go Terps, Jackets and Blue Devils
