I said this on Twitter earlier but it bears repeating: For the first time in years, I have no significant other forcing me to watch that godawful program known as the Oscars. No parties to attend/host, no ballots to fill out, no listening to some self-anointed movie buff drone on and on about how Extremely Close was…

I haven't been laughing this much since 9/11, how about you?

Given that this catch was against beloved Wichita, Peter King was not amused.

...and here's the video

Anyone else heard of Pat Knight's epic rant? Holy shit.

Even though it's on just "the dos," I'm glad ESPN is paying attention to GMU/VCU. Either of those two teams plus Drexel could do some real damage in the tournament but my guess is only one of them will end up going. We stole it from VCU last time, and Richmond is never an easy place to play in.

Not surprisingly, the Longhorns' opponent that night was Texas S&M University.

The worst part for James is that after his gay-baiting Senate campaign is over, he'll have to live with that piercing he got in his right ear.

Unfortunately, Holmes' position became expendable when Topps started to use the steam drill.

I used to be pretty oblivious until I went to college in DC and then lived out in LA. Even as a dude you're constantly assessing your surroundings to prevent a mugging. I can't imagine what it's like for women; at least for me the worst that could happen is losing my wallet/cell phone and making a few phone calls…

As someone knee-deep in academic writing with multiple conference deadlines looming, what Herman'sHead suggested worked for me. Don't self-edit when you get on a writing train and worry about the content of it later, no matter how silly or shitty you think it is. Seriously, I wrote like 3 pages on why I liked ice…

I fully expect Selig to come forward and blame it on the activist ways of MLB's notorious 9th Circuit Arbitration Panel and to vigorously challenge this ruling.

Nah, the coworker wasn't the ex; should've clarified that. Thankfully, my former better half is in another state now.

A gay colleague in my department recently announced his engagement (replete with new facebook profile pic showing off the ring) with his boyfriend of two years. As much as I'm happy for them, it put a fucking number on me this week as it brought back a ton of memories as well as broken promises. That was going to be…

The 2003 BCS NCG. The NCAA wanted to stick it to Miami so they had the refs call that bullshit pass interference on Glen Sharpe in the first OT.

This means that someone thinks Steve Novak can't sustain his 47 percent shooting from beyond the arc.

My biggest concern for him is his body. The guy's playing a ton of minutes, and my fear is he'll either get hurt or simply break down and be ineffective as the season wears on. Maybe it won't affect him as much due to the lockout shortening things, but the longer games and more regular season games always seems to…

Oohh, Reilly is a good one.
