The NBA has overturned Mark Cuban’s ban on bloggers in the Dallas Mavericks locker room.
Cuban is still sort of sticking to his guns, though. He has said he will credential any blogger that applies, from “…someone on blogspot who has been posting for a couple weeks,” to “kids blogging for their middle school Web site…”.

The first weekend of the big dance is in the books! And what a weekend. Perennial powerhouses Duke and Georgetown are out, and people are wondering when the clock will strike midnight for Cinderellas like Kansas State and Davidson. And I just threw up in my mouth a little after writing that blatant cliche. My apologies.
Our […]

Amid the Madness of March, one of the top headlines in the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette was the college commitment of Terrelle Pryor, the do-everything football player from Jeannette High School. One of the most ballyhooed prep stars in recent memory, Pryor’s saga was long, winding and somewhat annoying.
I’m all for a recruit taking his time to […]

All hail the Madness! I have some friends in KC who annually take off the first week of the tournament to go to Vegas to watch the games and throw away their money on their Jayhawks’ homerism. Maybe this is the year they hit it big or maybe not.
First though, a couple comments on the […]

Ah, NCAA tournament time. The smell of photocopiers churning out the bracket of 65 is in the air, as people from all ages, all walks of life, and all levels of knowledge put their hard-earned money on the line in the hopes of winning their office pool. And some tool at ESPN is probably actually getting […]

On Monday, Mark Cuban, the owner of my beloved Mavericks, banned bloggers from the Dallas locker room.
There’s substantial gray area about the role of blogs when it comes to covering sports, or even news in general. What makes a blogger a blogger?

The build-up to this past Saturday’s Duke vs North Carolina tilt presented the game as possibly the greatest rivalry in all of collegiate athletics. College sports is built on the passion generated by rivalries. Fan bases are often composed of people who went to the same high schools but went to different colleges. The players […]

Envision a pristine sunset filled with cotton candy pinks, watermelon reds & azure blues, a bag piper on a small hill over looking the misty green of Spanish Bay Golf Course. The ocean is the backdrop for the entire week. In your hand you hold a glass of Napa Valley’s finest wine, every sip reminds […]

Although those may be the famous words from the Indy 500, Formula 1 is considered to be the crème de la crème of open-wheel motor-racing. Don’t get me wrong, Indycar has some clout, and has been the training ground for a few F1 drivers. Indy 500 winner Jacques Villeneuve is the most prominent migrant, where he […]

The NFL lost two giants this week. Two surefire hall of famers.
One left after three years of toying with the idea of retirement, and owning every relevant career record. The other played a position that was hard to define by numbers alone. The first held an hour-long press conference to say goodbye. The other announced […]

With Selection Sunday less than two weeks away, it’s time to look at the contenders and pretenders heading into the conference tournaments and March Madness.
Contenders
UCLA Bruins (25-3, RPI: 7) - Kevin Love continues to play with a maturity beyond his years. He has posted double-doubles in 11 out of the past 13 games. Darren Collison, […]

My brother and I have never been close, but today we are the closest we have ever been. And probably as close as we will ever get.
We have nothing in common even though we are only a couple of years apart in age. I am a corporate pencil pusher, he is the blue collar type. I am a Management Consultant. He is a scrappy diamond salesman. My lifestyle is pretentious. My brother doesn’t know what the word means. I like to dress up my thoughts with pretty words so I come off as educated. My brother, while just as educated, takes pride in being a straightshooting New Yorker. We don’t speak to each other much. Not lately at least.

As my fellow homer SK explained so eloquently, the one thing a true fan can’t stand is the bandwagon-jumper. Lord knows that large numbers of sports jag-offs (that’s a real word here in Western PA) will never jump on my alma mater’s bandwagon and I wouldn’t have it any other way. In the spirit of […]
