I’m exhausted from playing schleuderball in the sleet/rain/hail/snow today so this is going to be short and sweet. I’m going to put up one-sentence reasoning for my picks in hopes of getting this posted before the first game tips off.

I’ve been meaning to do this for a few days now, but here it is. I’ve put together a list of the top free agents still available in the NFL. I’m only listing players that are unrestricted free agents, or players that were released. So this list does not include restricted free agents, or free [...]

Billy Gillespie was fired by the University of Kentucky today. This website says that Billy Donovan is already the Wildcats’ next head coach. Much more on this still to come, I’m sure.
I’m not sure why Donovan would do this. He’s got a pretty good thing going already, this could only be seen as a lateral [...]

Last night I put up my picks for Day 1 of the Sweet 16. I got 3 of the 4, missing only my alma mater, Mizzou. I’ll call it a good day. Also, it’s time to talk about Villanova as a contender for this tournament. They’ll get a Pittsburgh team who hasn’t impressed me thus [...]

Weller gave his picks for the first two rounds, so now it’s my turn for the Sweet 16.
UConn over Purdue. I love Purdue, they’re a fun team to watch, but no one is playing better than UConn right now.
Memphis over Mizzou. If Mizzou can force Tyreke Evans to make bad decisions, they can win this [...]

I started doing these division by division baseball previews a while ago, planning to space them out a bit. Then my computer crashed. Then it took two weeks to get a new one. So this is the inaugural post from my shiny, new HP laptop. The typos will probably increase, so watch out for that. [...]

I have found bits and pieces and summarized and longer versions of the exact same projection from multiple different sources on the internet, and when I say the exact same I mean that it’s clearly been copied and pasted, so I don’t actually know who to credit for the information I have found. To read [...]

As you may recall, I am attempting to become a baseball fan this year. I took a big step in that direction by joining a fantasy baseball league on Yahoo. It’s a standard public league with 12 teams/managers and head-to-head scoring. My first real shock came when I found out that I was in a [...]
