Obligatory “Congrats to Louisville” Post

Joe — Tue, 09 Apr 2013 19:56:47 +0000

Last night, the Louisville Cardinals won the 2013 NCAA Tournament. They’re now in the rare company of schools that have won a BCS bowl and the men’s NCAA basketball tournament in the same season; throw in a trade-up to the ACC and that school has had quite a year. It has now been back-to-back years

ESPN’s SportsNation Is Fixated on the Los Angeles Lakers

Joe — Tue, 09 Apr 2013 19:37:15 +0000

I don’t know about you, but I regularly find myself on ESPN.com. It could hardly be said that I’m a big fan of their programming outside of live game broadcasts, but their website is usually the first place I go for scores and news. About the only time I pay any consideration to opinions on

So Far, So Bad for 2013 Yankees

Joe — Thu, 04 Apr 2013 15:23:57 +0000

It’s a good thing for the Bronx Bombers that there are still 160 games to go. That’s because the first two — home losses to their hated rivals, the Boston Red Sox — have each produced dreadful results. ”The Rivalry” may be a shell of its former self, but the Sox are probably quite pleased

Rutgers Mishandles Mike Rice Situation Twice

Joe — Wed, 03 Apr 2013 21:17:48 +0000

Rutgers head basketball coach Mike Rice became former head basketball coach Mike Rice on Wednesday morning after a video surfaced that he assaulted and verbally abused players in practice. It was the right call, but at the wrong time, and several things about the situation reek. Before we go any further, I am aware that

2013 AL East Predictions

Joe — Wed, 03 Apr 2013 00:53:09 +0000

It’s not too late to offer some opinions on how this new 2013 Major League Baseball season might shake out. Sure, things look a little different with the Houston Astros changing their color scheme and moving to the American League, and interleague play becoming a year-round phenomenon, but individual teams look different, too. Namely, in

In a few hours, the bubble teams will know their fates and folks will start filling in their brackets. While we wait, PUP will issue one more look at the field of 68. Remember, this is not a prediction of how the field will look per se — it is our opinion on how the

NHL Power Rankings, March 6

Joe — Wed, 06 Mar 2013 19:07:10 +0000

Who can touch the Chicago Blackhawks in this week’s NHL Power Rankings? Nobody, so don’t even ask. We have to put the other 29 teams in the NHL somewhere, though. Just because everyone’s chasing one dominant team that essentially refuses to lose doesn’t mean there aren’t other good teams. There are enough bad teams too,

Pursuant to what we’ve been doing for the last few days, and given that it is now officially March, we’ll take a look at the updated bracket several times weekly as we approach March Madness and the 2013 NCAA Tournament. Remember, this is not a predicted S-curve; rather, it is the one we would draw

Quasi-Bracketology: Seeding Changes, Feb. 28

Joe — Thu, 28 Feb 2013 20:05:07 +0000

You may have heard last night that we had a couple upsets. Now that you’re caught up, we’re going to take a look at the S-curve we put together yesterday, gather all of the scores, and make adjustments as necessary to our own faux field of 68 for the 2013 NCAA Tournament. If that sounds
