Strikeforce Fighters: Not Afraid of the Open Bar

Saturday night’s Strikeforce: Nashville on CBS, definitely did not live up to the hype.  Sure, our boy took down Mousasi in the upset of the night, but the rest of the event was a snoozefest.That was, until the final bell sounded. Without warning, Jason “Mayhem” Miller pounced into the ring and started a mid-interview brawl with Jake Shields, the winner of the previous bout...

The Final Four vs. The Fab Four

This past weekend, as we cruised the streets of Indianapolis getting ready for the games, we started wondering: what if the four remaining teams were in the Fab Four instead of the Final Four? We asked a bunch of the fans, and we quickly learned that each team identifies with a different member of the The Beatles. Duke and Butler say Hello…Michigan State and West...

Butler Fan Madness

Salt Lake City is known for a lot of things: Stockton and Malone, world-class ski resorts, and the Church of Latter Day Saints, to name a few. But this past weekend, while the city played host to the NCAA’s West Regional finals, the streets had an entirely different feel. Instead of missionaries in freshly pressed suits, there were seventy year-old Wildcat fans donning purple...

Martin vs. Stevens: The Fans Talk Trash

Yesterday’s Butler vs. K-State matchup featured two of best young coaches in College Hoops: Frank “the Tank” Martin of the Wildcats and Brad “Babyface” Stevens of the Bulldogs. Both coaches are considered two of the NCAA’s finest, but they couldn’t be more distinct in their styles. On one hand, there’s the fire and passion of Coach Martin, whose head looked like...

Living the College Dream

There’s a lot to get excited about during March Madness: buzzer beaters, upsets, the Cinderella teams. If nothing else, it’s a nice contrast to the NBA in that teams actually play defense, and the referees swallow their whistles.But there’s also something about the NCAA tournament that reminds every red-blooded American youth of their own college experience. Whereas in the...

Ah, to be 19 again…

With the attention of the sports world focused squarely on March Madness, it’s easy to forget that many of the players we’ll be watching over the next few weeks can’t legally enjoy a cocktail, and some of the most exciting players in the tournament weren’t even born before 1990.So while guys like John Wall are living the dream, young men like Jon Wallenstein (cousin of the...

“I’m…so…horny.” It’s no secret that Tiger Woods recently entered a rehab program to help him regain control of his life…and his sexual urges.

Less is More

With the NCAA thinking about expanding March Madness from 65 to 96 teams, we thought we’d offer our two cents…Bigger is NOT always better.  Just ask Spud Webb, Nate Robinson, or the one and only Muggsy Bogues.And if that isn’t enough to convince you, never forget the important life lesson we learned from Diff’rent Strokes: good things come in small packages.Speaking of March...
