From Dead Last to Elite Eight: Baylor’s Rebound
Some of the most enjoyable aspects of the NCAA Tournament, for me, are the upsets, the underdogs, the Cinderella stories, the last second shots, the come-from-behind victories and the like. To be honest, I don’t really favor a team so much as the unexpected moments and seeing the lesser of the two rise to victory. [...]
The Sweet 16: It’s Madness. Pure and complete Madness.
Did anyone really think Georgetown would have had their bags packed by Ohio; or #11 Washington would drop #6 Marquette and #3 New Mexico? Um, no. And #1 seed Kansas knocked out in the first Round? Aw hell no! Brackets are busted. You (Mr. or Mrs. Sports-know-it-all) just lost your five or ten bucks to, [...]
NFL Off-Season Movements: Pass the Peppers
It’s been very interesting these last few weeks as NFL off-season free agency began with some big-time players getting new jerseys. Teams have been looking at players’ roster bonuses, salaries, health, past production and the like, to figure out if they still got room on their squads, or potential trade bait. Some teams – the [...]
#6? = $
Word on the street is LeBron is leaving #23 behind. He’s taking #6 out of respect for MJ, because, there’s only one MJ. That strikes me as a little bit odd. By the standards of modern basketball, the same ones that easily forget about legends like Bill Russell, Pistol Pete and even Larry Bird (memories [...]
THE WIZARD’S WORLD OF FANTASY FOOTBALL: TOP 15 RUNNING BACKS FOR 2010
Chad Tate here and I can’t get me enough Fantasy Football. When one season ends, I’m already scheming on picks and trades to get the collective pot of money from my boys. I still play in a keeper league with my frat bros from college. When we started in the days at the U, fifty [...]
Live from the 2010 Winter Olympics
Chad Tate here, reporting live (even if it’s after recovery from my hangover), from the Winter Olympics. First, I just want to thank Jamal and the EXPO team for allowing me this opportunity to cover this historic event – all expenses paid AND the freedom and flexibility to choose my angle to write about. Still [...]

Sadly, 4 guns will define you, Agent 0
A card game. A joke. And more jokes.
Only the joke had to do with brandishing multiple handguns in an NBA locker room. And his response and handling the situation came in the form of …yup…tweets and more jokes.

COLTS’ STARTERS JET TO THE BENCH, BECOME STEELERS OF PLAYOFF HOPES
There’s been a lot of talk this week whether it was fundamentally wrong for the Indianapolis Colts to pull their key starters in the third quarter against the Jets with a 5 point lead. Entering the game, the Jets were on the low end cusp of playoff picture, while the 14-0 Colts had already secured [...]
FAME
I’m that guy that used to be famous. I get it a lot.
But no worries, you know me…or knew me. Remember?
Franchise player – check. Cash money – check.
Magazine cover boy – check, check. Playboy Mansion – check.
Women – check, check, check, check….check, check…check, check.
Ahhhhh. The fame. I loved every last minute of it.
But fame’s a bitch too…
