Why the Intentional Walk Rage?
Watching last nights game got me thinking, when did the Intentional Walk become all the rage? During the entire 162 game regular season the St. Louis Cardinals intentionally walked a total of 44 batters while the Texas Rangers intentionally walked just 21. The intentional walk is something normally reserved for a special occasion, like the pitcher is coming up next, or the winning...

World's First 2011 CIT Bracket Predictions(maybe)
You think filling out an NCAA bracket is difficult? Try filling out a CIT bracket where the round 2 opponents aren't lined up or solidified and four of the teams will be chosen after round 1 to get a bye based on some selection criteria. This bracket is gonna be so so wrong.
This describes the movement. Red Arrows mean 2nd round byes. Green Arrows mean win and move to the...

Create Your Own 2011 CIT Bracket
Here is your 2011 CollegeInsiders.com Tournament Bracket... The creation of the bracket is incredibly fluid as not only do they actually have no hard line bracket of who will play whom next, they also have a new system in place where 4 of the winners in the first round will receive byes into the Quarterfinals and skip the 2nd round. The logic behind this is stated as "RPI ranking...

Who wants the 2011 College Basketball Invitational Bracket? You do!
I am a massive expert of the 2010-2011 college basketball mid majors. So much so that I know that Boise State wears bright blue and bright orange uniforms and that Cobe Karl used to go there. For that reason and that reason alone, they are clearly the favorites of this tournament and as the favorite they will...

2011 NIT Bracket Predictions
BOOM Hokies. I think after 4 years of bubble time for the boys from Hokieland that Delaney and the other seniors will step up and want to leave campus with a good taste in their mouth. The other final 4 teams in MSG are Harvard (for fun), Colorado (snub #2) and Missouri State (uh, don't know why).

Finding the 2011 CarGo: What did CarGo's 2009 / Spring Stats Say?
In 2010 Carlos Gonzalez was a hero to all of his fantasy owners. He paid out his owners who likely drafted him above the 10th round a pay day of #1 on the player rater. In all likelihood this will not happen this season, but let us take a look at some of the names who might generate some buzz and have the potential to join the ranks of the top 10.

Super Bowl Box History
Super Bowl Boxes are a glorious way for you, on one day during the calendar year, to gamble with your office mates or buddies (and unlike March Madness this requires zero skill or thought at all). Chances are you at this very moment have a spreadsheet on your computer or a print out on your desk that has your name in a variety of boxes. You are sitting there looking at each box...

Creating a 2011 Taco Bell Super Bowl Commercial
Taco Bell is currently in the news for being sued over their fake beef. They have fought back with a full page newspaper ad saying their beef is 88% percent BEEF and 12% secret. Since I don't think a pansy one page newspaper ad with the guts and heart of Jay Cutler will be enough, I present to you the Taco Bell 2011 Super Bowl Commercial.

It's Time to Change the NFL Seeding Policy
Let me get this out of the way first and foremost. As a Jet fan it is mildly annoying to me that despite having a superior record than both the Chiefs and Colts they are relogated to the #6 spot and a road playoff game thanks to being in the same division as this man (I hate you). With that being said, let me present to you the biggest reason why it is time for the NFL to change...
