Even though the Toronto Maple Leafs beat the New York Islanders 3-1 on Tuesday night, that one goal occurred in the first period when … when … aw, just watch.

That, my friends, is what you call a 176-foot stroke of luck. Rob Davison’s slapshot somehow confused goalie Vesa Toskala to give the Isles a 1-0 […]

All around good dude Larry Brown has details on a drama that recently played out involving the student broadcasters at UCLA. We all know that since the beginning of time, there have been student broadcasters announcing games to no one in particular at high profile college sports events. Like what Title IX hath wrought, […]

The NCAA announced recently that it will move the three point line from 19 feet, 9 inches to 20 feet, 9 inches for next season.
Bad idea.

(Rule to have no effect on Kristy, though)
The NCAA is apparently unaware that what makes the NCAA tournament such a draw to the gambler casual fan is the absolute unpredictability […]

Well, two out of three, anyway. Barack Obama and John McCain had UNC winning in their brackets. As for Hillary Clinton, well, she’s not filling one out, for fear of irking potential voters.

Senator McCain, you might’ve heard, gained some attention by challenging supporters to beat him in a pool, with the hopes of winning […]

Chris Sheridan of ESPN.com reports on something we wish we’d seen during Allen Iverson’s return to Philadelphia last night.

Apparently, at the end of the game, someone pushed Iverson’s mom, who was among AI’s posse behind the Denver bench. Stunningly, a member of the group overreacted, resulting in a confusing confrontation (think Don King ring melee?) […]

Finally, the day has arrived when you can wile away the morning pouring over your brackets one last time, submit your answers, and lean back this afternoon in your chair and see how your picks do. You can try to pretend that you’re getting work done today, but you’re not fooling anyone.

(Last year’s champions; will […]

The NCAA Tournament reminds us of one of those complicated table games in Vegas. All we know is we lose money on it. We’re completely powerless in the endeavor. Which is why we only do one bracket per year.

(We’re a one rack bracket guy)
Our Final Four: KU, UNC, Stanford, Drake. Winner: Stanford. We also have […]

The biggest joke in Milwaukee right now? The obvious answer is the Bucks record and a recent loss to the Miami Heat leading to the ouster of GM Larry Harris. But the real laugher is the street clothes selection made by rich, big man Andrew Bogut who was snapped sitting at the end of the […]

The hometown paper ANN ARBOR NEWS won’t roll over and fluff the Michigan Wolverines, even if college counselors are that way with student-athletes by pointing many of them toward lenient general studies majors and enrolling in the classes for them.

In a four-day exposé, the newspaper compiled not exactly startling, but rather sobering information about […]

An Australian streaker, who interrupted a horse race by risking his life while wearing a purple wig, has avoided jail time but was told not to mix booze and the track anytime soon, the BATEMANS BAY POST reports.

Bradley Steven O’Mara faced 3 months in jail but instead must not drink at a track for one […]
