Louisville Takes Out #6 Georgetown; #4 UCLA Loses

Yeah, I know it isn't much, but you gotta take the small successes given you. Louisville, who has been my favorite basketball team since I was a kid (along with DePaul and Marquette), took out the Hoyas yesterday in a low scoring game, 59-51. But Georgetown beat my alma mater (West Virginia) the... Sign in to see full entry.

Super Bowl XLII: What A Game !!

Well, New England took their undefeated record into Arizona and walked away with a defeat not too many people believed would happen. Possibly the biggest upset in football history. I thought the Giants' defense deserved the MVP trophy. Think about it. They kept Tom Brady and the #1 offense in the... Sign in to see full entry.

Some People Ask The Stupidest Questions...

A reporter asked Tom Brady at a press conference the other day what his purpose in life was... Brady should have just stated the obvious, "Rocket science." Then he should have deadpanned, "What's yours?" Sign in to see full entry.

Did Anyone See Sharapova Win That Tennis Match?

That girl looks good on a tennis court. Hell, she looks good anywhere. But I was just joking about the tennis match. I know she won the other day because I saw her pretty face plastered all over the internet. But if I'd have known she was on, I would have watched it... Sign in to see full entry.

New England Went Into The Record Books; Green Bay Went Home

New England continued its seemingly unstoppable march to the Super Bowl this past Sunday, beating San Diego 21-12. Give San Diego credit for hanging tough with an injured crew, but kicking four field goals and not scoring a touchdown will kill you every time against a team like New England. Over in...

Dallas And Indy Gone...

Today was certainly a day of surprises. First, the Chargers take down the Colts. Then the Giants take down the Cowboys. Now, the only team in the two conference championship games that was supposed to be there is New England. Why do I say that? Well, no matter what part of the year you go to,...

Now New England Has Gone And Done It...

With their victory tonight over the Jaguars, the Patriots tied the Miami Dolphins single season win record with 17 victories. And they looked good doing it, making the Jaguars play catch-up ball all night, which they were never quite able to do. Now New England faces Indy or San Diego for that 18th...

Kansas Proves Their Right To Play For National Championship

Kansas never trailed the highly touted #3 Hokies, winning the game 24-21. Just another example of why there should be a playoff system in the NCAA. Sign in to see full entry.

West Virginia Destroys Oklahoma in Fiesta Bowl

West Virginia may be ranked #9 but they're #1 with Owen Shmitt and the people of West Virginia tonight. Heavy underdogs to the #3 ranked Sooners of Oklahoma, the high-powered WVU Mountaineers made the ninth ranked Oklahoma defense look like it wasn't even there. For a defense that had not allowed...
