Loading ...Why do we hate Duke? Call it the Brett Favre syndrome. Favre didn’t change, but once he became an elite qb, every media member rushed to tell us how every little thing he did was so wonderful and it was all because of him. That every touchdown pass was a great play, ignoring all the [...]
The NCAA Selection Committee got what it wanted. In a year of upsets, the Duke Blue Devils are back in the Final Four, with much thanks to the easiest road ever created for a top seed. It’s a shame Billy Packer isn’t around to enjoy it. Baylor’s program has rebounded from disaster. Too bad they [...]
“If I really wanted to, if I really wanted to be the scoring [champion] every single year — every single year — I could really do it. But it doesn’t matter.” – LeBron James Some people might see that as bragging. Some people might get bent out of shape over this sort of declaration. Muhammad [...]
The NCAA tourney has reached the Sweet 16 and not only has an underdog made it this far, three double-digit seeds (#12 Cornell, #11 Washington and #10 St. Mary’s) are still alive, along with upstart #9 Northern Iowa.

For those who didn’t see the Manny Pacquiao/Joshua Clottey fight live, it was replayed over the weekend on HBO. The fight itself was boring as Clottey, content to collect a paycheck and avoid getting seriously hurt or knocked out, refused to throw punches.

But in the case of the first two rounds of this year’s NCAA Tournament, I’m comfortable saying it truly was the best I’ve ever seen. I’ve been following it religiously since it was expanded in 1985, and I never saw [...]
Happy St. Patrick’s Day and enjoy the rest of the week. I’m on Jakecation in Vegas for the start of March Madness but will be back on Monday. Talk to you then, hopefully with a fatter wallet! THERE IT IS! -Jake Stevens
Our long national nightmare is over. Tiger will return for The Masters. I can’t wait. THERE IT IS! -Jake Stevens
My favorite sports event of the year has arrived. March Madness is here for three glorious weeks and I’ll be enjoying every minute of it like I always do. This year, I get the added bonus of spending the first three days of the tourney in Vegas, where the thrill of victory and the agony [...]
I was so excited for March Madness. I love the tourney and will be spending the first four days of it gambling and partying in Las Vegas. Unfortunately, today I came down with a case of March Sickness, thanks to my Michigan Wolverines. It wasn’t bad enough they have had an awful year after being ranked [...]
