Here are the second half of the draft grades from the NQTC league draft last week.  If you’re unable to find the first half by scrolling down for about five seconds, it’s right here.  To the second half we go.  Now that we’re done, feel free to rip on our teams, rip on the grades, [...]

I can’t believe I missed this.  Apparently this video takes place back on December 8.  Darko got called for his 4th foul and immediately was assessed with a technical.  He didn’t take too well to that, as you can see:

The NQTC fantasy baseball league held its draft last week, and it got done sometime around Sunday night.  Anyway, I’ve looked over the rosters and here come the draft grades.  I’ll go over them in order of where they picked in the first round, with the first six now and the last six a little [...]

I am a fierce believer in sabremetrics, which is the study of statistics in baseball to determine a player’s value in terms of wins, among other things.  In baseball, a game can be distilled down to a certain number of one-on-one at-bats.  These are unique battles between pitchers and hitters that can be analyzed statistically.  [...]

Two Baltimore Orioles radio announcers left the ballpark during a rain delay and didn’t come back for the last eight innings.  I do this when my professor isn’t there five minutes before class. [Awful Announcing]
Piniella tells Marmol to stop whining and just pitch after Carlos had complained that there was no real competition for the [...]

The Shamrock Shuffle went forward even in the face of a snowstorm Sunday morning.  Crazy.

Micah Hoffpauir is an absolute monster with the bat.  He has been raking at every level and every spring for a while now.  As usual we all expected the Cubs to send him back to the minors at the end of the spring this year.  Thankfully, Lou made the right call putting his power bat [...]

If you haven’t seen this yet, get ready for a ridiculous commercial via Docksquad:

Let’s hope the curse of the Guitar Hero commercials doesn’t hit any of these guys.

The debate rages on over night games in Wrigleyville.  I personally have an aversion to them for 2 reasons.  The first is that I lived in Wrigleyville and its a residential neighborhood.  The people who live there have been promised over and over again that traffic and noise issues would be controlled and have been [...]

Last week I said that the general dullness of the first two round of the NCAA Tournament wasn’t such a bad thing.  I thought that since so many good teams won, the second weekend would be that much better than most years.  I was absolutely wrong.
The last four days were no better than the first [...]

Have you ever said something like “My heart stopped during that play,” or “I’m going to have a heart attack if Tyrus shoots another jumper”?  I know I have.  Well maybe we should stop making those jokes, since a recent report just came out that shows fans can suffer severe heart conditions:
Researchers have found that [...]

NQTC’s first liveblog went pretty well, except for the Goran Suton love affair.  Anyways both games were blowouts, with MSU beating Louisville and UNC crushing Oklahoma. [NQTC]
Coach Ditka heard about those new NFL rules that protect the players’ safety, and let’s just say he’s not thrilled about those pussies and their ‘rules’. [Blog Down]

Louisville-Michigan State LiveBlog

All season long I have been singing the praises of Villanova and Scottie Reynolds in any conversation about the Big East and the NCAA in general.  Ask anyone who has watched a Nova game with me the last couple years.  I like the whole team, but Scottie Reynolds was my favorite from day one.  I [...]

Hey everyone, StevieY and I are going to try something new this weekend.  We will be liveblogging the Louisville-Michigan State game at 1:20 pm central time on Sunday.  It will be different than some liveblogs you’ve seen.  Unlike the type they do on Deadspin where you have to keep refreshing, we will be using a [...]
