The Onion Sports Network alerts us to the fact that the NCAA has welcomed more teams into their annual tournament. 4,096 to be exact.

As a UCONN fan this game was so emotionally draining. It had more highs and lows than any sporting event I can remember. Whether it be Eric Devendorf’s three that was good, but was overturned to Jeff Adrien’s missed opportunities in two overtimes, this game had everything sans a buzzer beater that counted.

Andy Rautins hit big shot after big shot. Johnny Flynn was relentless. AJ Price played exceptional over all six overtimes with 4 fouls. The only thing I wished for was that Kemba Walker and Craig Austrie tried to penetrate the defense more to force Paul Harris and Rautins (both with 4 fouls) to  play clean defense without fouling. I can’t be that upset as this was a game for the ages.

Hopefully the ‘Cuse have something left for a scrappy West Virginia team tonight. And here is to UCONN resting up for the big tournament next week. PRACTICE FREE THROWS!!! Did this game cost the Huskies a #1 seed? We will find out Sunday.

I think my head is going to explode from all the cuteness that the Ottawa Senators had in their skybox last night. Mike and Mike, not Golic and Greenberg, rather Comrie and Fisher had their significant others in town to cheer them on. SMILE!

So, Jonathan Papelbon says Manny was a “cancer” in the Red Sox clubhouse.  He’s certainly entitled to his opinion, and by most accounts,  he’s correct.

But, maybe he could have chosen a better way to express himself, especially considering his teammate Jon Lester dealt with an actual cancer just a couple of years ago.

Just a thought.

Sox and Dawgs points us to a new concoction created by the people at Bonfire called the A-Roid.

The A-Roid starts with a shot of El Mejor Tequila, served straight up. To give the shot a little something extra; a spicy smoky splash is served on the side in a convenient syringe…minus the needle. Inject the Performance-Enhancing Boost of Spicy Tomato “Juice” right into the shot or use it as a chaser. However you use it, come clean and acknowledge it…don’t deny it.

Enjoy The A-Roid ($11) with any of Bonfire’s new Red Sox inspired menu items. Available on opening day, April 6th, served throughout the Red Sox season.

* Shot: El Mejor Tequila (Silver, Reposado, Anejo)
* Performance-Enhancing Boost of Spicy Tomato “Juice”: Bonfire’s House Smoked Tomatoes, Tomato juice, Lemon juice, Tabasco sauce, Jalapenos

Although this is a clever concept with the syringe, isn’t this the opposite of Alex Rodriguez? SPICY? When I think of the Yankee third baseman that is the last thing that comes to my mind. They should have named something weaker after him. Kamikaze anyone!

Forget about Providence, Minnesota, Miami, and Florida’s chances of making the NCAA Tournament. Let us take a glace at Indiana’s resume. [Rumor and Rants]

This is my favorite time of the sports year. So many college basketball games it will blow your mind. Noon to well past midnight, what is there not to love. And especially for us gambling degenerates.

Then I saw this video and I had to question myself. The Duke jersey, the rapping over “No Sleep Til Brooklyn,” and the basketball hat made me ill. But then I believe the voice over more than made up for all the idiocy that occurred throughout.

Motown is having a tough time lately. The Big Three are teetering on extinction, unemployment is skyrocketing, and home prices have plunged. Meanwhile, the city’s mayor, Kwame Kilpatrick, turned out to be a bigger disappointment than Kwame Brown, serving jail time and resigning following a hilarious sexy text message scandal involving his top aide.

So, who better to save the city than one of its great heroes of the past, a successful athlete turned businessman with the education and experience to lead a once great city out of the doldrums?  And so, former Piston great Dave Bing has stepped into the breach.

But.. about that education? Yeah, maybe not so much:

Back in October, we brought you the story of former NFL kicker Tony Zendejas, who had been accused of drugging and raping a woman at his San Dimas, California bar. He was charged with four felony counts.

I called him a dick.

Well, yesterday, Zendejas was acquitted of all four charges.  And so, I retract my comment.

He is not a dick.

The Pittsburgh Steelers do love to gift alcohol. First it was Hines Ward sending out specially embroidered bottles of Crown Royal. And now PSAMP tells us that Jerome Bettis received a very special bottle of tequila as a birthday gift.

“Recently, Jerome Bettis celebrated his 37th birthday at Club Pure at Cesar’s Palace. As a gift, he received a personalized bottle of Jose Cuervo Platino Tequila with pictures of his playing days on the box.”

It is a nice looking box. Wonder what something like that would cost.

PSAMP is right, if they sold this package in the Pittsburgh area Tequila Cuervo La Rojeña, S.A. de C.V would see these fly off the shelves.
