This will be, with all certainty the year your NCAA pool was won by the person who knew the least about college basketball going in. North Carolina, UCLA, Memphis and Kansas – all four regional number one seeds – made the Final Four this year. How boring is that? Sure you have great teams but [...]

It’s getting a bit ridiculous and cheap ploy for publicity when almost every North American sports league opens their regular seasons overseas. The NHL did it in London for the beginning of their 07-08 campaign and are doubling efforts next season with openers in Prague and Sweden. The NFL played a game in England last [...]

Every year major league baseball tries to tell us that fantasy baseball infringes on their copyrights and every year they can’t stop anyone from drafting their teams on a wide array of sites. MLB thinks that its players names, their stats and all their information are somehow copyrightable and their exclusive property – not to [...]

The MLB season is upon us once again as the defending champion Red Sox will face off against the A’s in Tokyo today (this morning, whatever). Oakland seriously has it rough in this match up when you consider that Boston will be starting the pride of Japan, Daisuke Matsuzaka who made the trip overseas and [...]

For every feel-good, cinderella story that the NCAA tournament can give you, there’s always the heartache that this princess just destroyed your bracket most likely. Sure it’s really nice that Davidson bounced Georgetown and San Diego faced off against Siena in a battle between a 12- and 13-seed, but who had those two teams in [...]

With the first two exciting days of the NCAA tournament over and done with, are you happy with how your bracket is doing? My answer is somewhere in between “It could be better,” and “I’m semi-worried.”
While doing alright on Thursday, Friday’s upsets didn’t really work out for my bracket.
Having lost only three sweet sixteen [...]

The number one high school quarterback in the states has finally chosen where he’ll go to college. After weeks of deep thought — and much speculation — Terrelle Pryor has picked Ohio State.
Ever since learning Pryor is athletic enough to not only be a top recruited quarterback, but also is talented enough to recruited as [...]

I have, like many of you out there, have already been slaving over my bracket, analyzing — over-analyzing maybe — the upsets, the favourites and the locations of games. How about a quick break?
So, where will the Rockets incredible winning streak end? Hell, I thought they’d be through playing the Lakers on the weekend, but [...]

Selection Sunday: the day that kicks off March Madness. Where the brackets are drawn for all to see and for everyone in a pool to start plotting a route to the championship for their team of choice.
I’d be lying to you if I claimed to know anything in depth about all 65 of the teams [...]

In case you haven’t heard, the New York Yankees are taking spring training so seriously that they signed comedian Billy Crystal to a one-day contract. Seems the team is taking a fantasy camp approach instead of, say, training seriously and getting ready to try to dethrone the defending World Series champion Boston Red Sox.
Crystal, [...]
