From the Pen of Will Leitch

this from Deadspin: "College basketball: You may resume hating Duke"

this from me: "I may resume making fun of the amazon sales ranking of Will Leitch's horrible novel Catch (currently #387,695)"

Quick beats Lumbering every time

Duke goes to 2-0 vs. Big Ten teams, makes case to be a top 5 team, proves reports of their demise were very premature as they annihilate Wisconsin

About that Playoff... again...

If the regular season "is the playoff", could you please explain Hawaii? (Or explain Georgia, Virginia Tech, LSU... take your pick.) I thought a loss was supposed to mean something?

about that playoff....

another great college football game which of course would have meant nothing if the playoff system the media demands was in place (LSU is a likely SEC champ so they would make the playoff even with a loss today) this won't stop dumb-ass Jay Mariotti from continuing to not get it (clearly Ozzie was right)

My favorite quote, early in the Bonds indictment game

from SFGate Gi'nts blog The Splash:

"Looks like Greg Anderson must have gotten tired of pumping iron in the Dublin hoosegow."

The worst website left on the Internet.

Apparently blinking, dead links are in.

I would not recommend giving your credit card information to these people.

Haywood Jeffries 1992 Starting Lineup Action Figure - ebay posting calls it "rare" and I'm going to have to agree with them on that point

Note to Bands

to help convince me that I should buy your record do the following:

1.)have it accused of "featuring elements of dad rock" by Pitchfork

2.) not only declare your love of UGA football in every interview you do but record the album in the shadow of this poster:

Monday afternoon nostalgia Fun!

The wolverine of the 70s

A fantastic little tidbit from a Thomas Boswell column, dated June 12, 1983, from the Washington Post:

"Once, Johnny Bench went to the hospital for a foot X-ray. No new break showed, but three old and healed broken bones were found that Bench had never noticed."

PS., how cool is this photo?

Google Search Terms: 1.) Jay 2.) Mariotti 3.) Dipshit

it's always good when you hold opinions in the sports world that Sun-Times/ESPN "contributor" Jay Mariotti disagrees with - nothing is more validating;

to wit: Mariotti in totally obvious fashion has to weigh in on Illinois' fantastic upset of Ohio State yesterday with the same old tired BCS/no playoff moaning; what the esteemed Mariotti doesn't realize is that if there was a playoff in college football YESTERDAY'S GAME WOULD HAVE MEANT NOTHING!! - for Ohio State would still be cruising to a playoff spot and Illinois would still have no chance of earning a spot in this all-mystical playoff system that supposedly can also cure world hunger - instead thanks to the current system we have, the game turned into a cataclysmic upset that will be spoken about in Illinois circles for years

if there was a playoff in college football I'm sure Maroitti wouldn't even have written a column about the Ohio State game and would have instead water-boarded the good people of Chicago with his 345 Trade for Kobe column in a row - that is reason enough to be thankful a playoff doesn't exist

Passive Aggressive Response to an Overzealous PTG Editorial Comment, even if it was Ironic

Live blogging the Illinois 8A high school football playoffs

Mt. Carmel has taken a 14-0 lead on Palatine - mock high school football if you want but it has this going for it:

1.) Season 1 of Friday Night Lights was the best TV show in 10 years
2.) No Mitchell Report
3.) No Moneyball
4.) No Tom Brady
5.) High School Football players likely beat the crap out of pimple-faced Will Leitch

moneyball redux

stats have come to basketball - and I have basically no idea what this web site is talking about but at least they seem fair

it's on!!

Kyle Singler shoots 10-11 in exhibition game - bring on the season
