Let us look at the awful majesty, the retarded brilliance of this:
Can you even find a good place to start bashing that caption? What could have been the thought process here:
ESPN.COM HOME PAGE WRITER: Zack Greinke? Who the hell is that? What are the Royals? That’s not Justin Verlander’s team! (spends three seconds looking up wins, losses, and ERA) A-HA!
We find our hero at home, stoically picking an epic eye booger.
Jeff: Boy, this thing just does NOT want to come out!
(spends several hours trying to remove eye booger)
(realizes he’s been working on the wrong eye)
(finally clears out the correct one)

The situation more closely resembled a high school game than a Division 1 revenue sport contest. The video you will probably see on SportsCenter is grainy and taken from the videoboard feed in the arena, not from any TV feed.

After a hiatus thanks to other work commitments, I’m back with another issue of The Whole 110 Yards, just in time for the start of the CFL playoffs today. I’ll be taking you all the way through the playoffs and will be bringing you on-the-ground coverage from the Grey Cup in Calgary in two weeks. However, we still have two playoff rounds to get through before then. Without further ado, let’s get to the breakdowns of the first round. Start us off, Jim Mora!

Dear Diary,

The good folks of the NHL and the other hockey powers that be were even thoughtful enough to place it in one of the largest cities of North America (albeit Toronto) instead of exotic eastern central New York or eastern Ohio ala football and baseball.

We’ve reached the second week of November, which means that yes, believe it or not, the college basketball season is right around the corner. As Isiah Thomas’s FIU Golden Panthers get eviscerated by North Carolina tonight, the journey to the Final Four will officially be underway. There are prohibitive favorites to square off in Indianapolis in early April — Kansas, Kentucky, Villanova, Duke, and Texas immediately spring to mind– but what of the talented teams who are not projected to make it to the Final Four? Which teams have the ingredients necessary to make a deep run in March? Join me after the jump as I analyze three surprising candidates to make the Final Four. Read the rest of this entry →
