(THERE IS CURSING IN TODAY’S SHOW. A LOT OF IT.) Forget impartiality. Today’s show is hot fire directed at the old, out of touch, terrible officials employed by the Big East and the cowardly way the conference handled the screwjob given to Rutgers at the end of their Big East Tournament game against St. John’s [...]

We have four topics today and while Jim Tressel is taking over every show in the world, we decided to start with actual sports first, then get into that whole cheating mess. • First, Robin Van Persie called the referee that gave him a double yellow in Arsenal’s farewell Champions League match “a joke.” He [...]

You’ve heard of the movie The Fish That Saved Pittsburgh? Well, if Jonah Keri’s new book The Extra 2% – How Wall Street Strategies Took a Major League Baseball Team from Worst to First is ever made into a movie, they can call it The Gefilte Fish That Saved Tampa. Yep, this book is as [...]

Ah, the bait and switch headlines that are so easy to write are so…easy…to write sometimes. We do talk about the Heat (cough LEBRON cough) crying after another last-second loss, this time at the hands of the Chicago “Los Bulls.” Is crying a sign of cracking, or is it a sign of caring? Is there [...]

Look, we don’t talk a lot about NASCAR here in these parts, but we did spend the better part of Monday’s show talking about Jay Busbee’s thought-provoking take on media impartiality and whether or not members of the fourth estate should celebrate and congratulate the athletes they cover. In other words, it’s more talk about [...]

Somehow today’s show includes the following topics: • Villanova’s free-fall and whether or not they’re playing themselves out of the NCAA Tournament, • Dancing with the Stars including Sugar Ray Leonard and the idea that Bleacher Report would be smart to adopt a DWTS model to enhance its profile AND the profile of its writers, [...]

We all root for things. We root for our favorite sports teams growing up. We root for our favorite movies or actors to win awards. We root for our bets to pay off. We all root…and therefore, we all habitually cheer when our rooting interests come through. Heck, even if you’re one of those writers [...]

We spend (almost) the entire show talking about the NCAA’s ruling to suspend Connecticut head men’s basketball coach for three Big East…next year…for his role in a series of major recruiting violations. We also take a look at some of the national reporters and pundits. Read along with us, friends! • Here’s the official ruling [...]

We talk about Carmelo going to the Knicks and wonder if the Dolans were reading Bleacher Report last week and saw the headline that had him going to the Lakers and thought “what…when did that happen?” which ultimately got a deal done in New York. Hey, it could happen. I mean, it’s entirely plausible they’d [...]

It’s officially Spring Training! With Kevin Kaduk of Yahoo’s Big League Stew! !!! We talk about the big talking points heading into Spring Training which, for the first time I can remember, do not include the American League East or steroids. It’s kind of amazing, actually. That’s not to say the Yankees and Red Sox [...]
