Midnight Revelations: The Return
While watching an entertaining Oklahoma City/Los Angeles opener.Yeah, the NBA (aka the Free Throw Association) still absolutely sucks. HARD.1) With all due apologies to the 90% legit fans of the two teams, whose bandwagon is full of more absolute posers: Red Sox Nation or Kobe-era Laker fans???2) Charles Barkley is good for one memorable quote...a minute."The rest of the NBA...

Anatomy of an Upset:
You want to know why Butler WON tonight's game? Syracuse lost it.I know that wreaks of sour grapes, but it's true.And don't get me wrong...I'd have killed to have Butler lose it.But they didn't. Syracuse did.18 turnovers to 7. Syracuse was lazy, undisciplined, and lacking any touch on lob passes into the paint.That's just the start of what went wrong.In a...

NCAA Tournament Running Commentary: Sunday Afternoon Edition
It's no surprise that CBS selected Syracuse and Gonzaga for the nationally-televised 12:10pm start. Syracuse is a popular team in more than just upstate New York, Gonzaga is a name even the most novice college basketball recognizes instantly, and the injury to Arinze Onuaku is a story that's easy to sell.Johnson's ability to attack the hoop, as well as shoot the 3-ball...
