Bruce Pearl channels his inner Vanilla Ice

Tuesday, April 14th, 2009

Here is video of Tennessee head basketball coach Bruce Pearl rapping at the “Volscars” celebration — an ESPY-style award ceremony for University of Tennessee athletes. Mr. Vol loves to have fun and go without a shirt as much as possible. -H/T Mr.SEC

Michael Phelps fifteen minutes of fame are running out

Thursday, April 9th, 2009

Remember when Michael Phelps used to be America's golden boy. But winning 8 gold medals in Beijing became nothing after 1 bong hit. And it looks like Phelps isn't doing anything to try and restore his image by continuously partying. Usually found at any club in Vegas, it seems he ...

2009 One Shining Moment

Tuesday, April 7th, 2009

That was a dud of a National Championship game. North Carolina proved what most thought all season. That they were the best team in the nation. Overall these 64 games provided us with some memorable moments. Not overly spectacular, but as always it was exciting and had us watching. To sum ...

Ty Lawson is the ultimate dice controller

Friday, April 3rd, 2009

Not only is Ty Lawson regarded as the best point guard in the country, it seems he has handles off the court as well. Craps is probably my favorite pit game in the casino and it seems like the reigning ACC Player of the Year has the same affinity for ...

The Arizona St. womens basketball team played like poop

Thursday, April 2nd, 2009

"Poop" is one of the funny words in the English language that will always make me chuckle like a schoolgirl. And when used while yelling at someone, it adds even more humor. That is what happened when Arizona State womens basketball coach, Charli Turner Thorne screamed at her players for not ...

The Crackle Wonders: Connell McShane

Thursday, April 2nd, 2009

Detroit's having a bit of a down streak these days. Wouldn't you agree?  The nation's automaking capital is struggling to survive through layoffs, mismanagement and blatant political corruption. And yet, this weekend, all eyes will be on Motown, as it hosts the NCAA Final Four. Are three basketball games enough to ...

Yes, Virginia, There is A Cinderella This Year

Tuesday, March 31st, 2009

The entire world is lamenting the lack of great underdogs in the tournament this year. (Well, not the entire world. Afghanistan probably has bigger concerns.)  Some people tried to squeeze Arizona into the mold, turning an underachieving power into a plucky upstart. It didn't work. But, the problem may not be about ...

This is what Blake Griffin thinks of your Final Four

Monday, March 30th, 2009

Total Pro Sports has a picture of Oklahoma Sooners' Blake Griffin partying with a gaggle of girls (actually there was only three of them, but I wanted to use the word gaggle). And in the photo, the player of the year is giving the camera a "highway salute." Hopefully this wasn't ...

Who doesn’t play Guitar Hero?

Monday, March 30th, 2009

What do you get when you mashup four great college basketball coaches with a legendary rock group? You get the newest Guitar Hero commercial featuring Rick Pitino, Mike Krzyzewski, Roy Williams, Bob Knight and the group Metallica. Nothing spectacular, just an awkward Knight sliding across the floor in his white ...

Batista with the CAAAAAAAATCH

Friday, March 20th, 2009

Let us welcome Gus Johnson back to March Madness. Hopefully the games in Minneapolis, Minnesota are as good as this Fort Minor mashup.
