April Fools day is the worst day of the year for the Internet
Tomorrow is the day that I loathe to use the Internet. April Fools day is the occasion everyone and their hillbilly uncle uses to attempt to prank each other with fake news stories. Google was among first to the party with their semi-humorous dating site Google Romance among the best.

What if, instead of playing college basketball for 40 minutes and declaring a winner, winning consisted of reaching a certain score before the opposing team. Playground rules. For instance, first team to 80 or 100 would win. It would completely change the game of basketball. You wouldn’t have the stupid

I don’t watch much TV, but I’m a big fan of the Apprentice. The first season, when I was a wee pup having just graduated, I was fascinated by Bill Ransick’s rise to the top, and have watched every season since. Celebrity Apprentice is a big step down from the

I’ve hung out with a lot of hipsters. I’m certainly not one of them, but I enjoy their company and they seem to enjoy mine. While I’m no hipster anthropologist, I have noticed some similarities and differences between East Coast and West Coast hipsters. I give you – the Hipster

The NIT begins tonight! I’ve been saying for years that I wanted to fill out an NIT bracket, and this year I finally have. Here it is (click to open)… Now, some rationale: I like VT to win it all. I have Illinois going to the finals, based on their

A little-known fact is that Bobby Bonilla will be showing up on the Mets payroll next year, and every year until 2035. Either Bobby Bonilla has the best agent ever, or Steve Phillips is the worst GM and baseball analyst ever. Back in 1999, the Mets paid Bonilla $5.9 MM

I’m shocked at the coverage of West Coast teams leading up to the NCAA tournament. At halftime of the Pac-10 Championship game, one announcer said that the team loses would not make the NCCA Tournament. Similarly, seconds before the NCAA Tournament parings were released, a CBS studio analyst said that
