| Sports Gospel- The Games don't matter |
There are a lot of "experts" in the sports world and after being inundated with their excellent analysis and articulate reasoning, I have finally seen the light: What actually happens within the games does very little to decide what team is better.

| The Clock is Ticking for the Cavaliers |
By Sara Normand
On February 28, 2005, an Associated Press story on ESPN's website said the following: “Barring a complete collapse, Cleveland is on track to qualify for the NBA playoffs for the first time since 1998.” How ironic, yet tragic. Nearly two months later, a complete...

| I Hate Mondays: Jermaine's Disdain |
The NBA is racist because the league is attempting to invoke an age limit. The NHL discriminates too since all the ice that they use is white. Major League Baseball should be considered a bigot as well since they never use any other color of chalk powder except white.
Yes, the Ku...

Okay, okay, Blue Jays, Blue Jays, let’s play ball!
Those lyrics that open the seventh inning stretch at the Rogers Centre, home of the Toronto Blue Jays, seem to have a more acute importance nowadays rather than their usual torpid tunefulness.

| 'Outside the Lines': Outside of Good Ideas |
Apparently, we here at Ohio State need to get back to the controversy-making business, because without us to pick on, ESPN is left to run idiotic Outside The Lines shows like the one today:
