Day two of the Madness

by Dan Bilicki In: Basketball

Well, it will be damn hard to top day one of the NCAA tournament, but it’s not like there isn’t potential. While I won’t guarantee that today’s “liveblog” will be as constant as yesterday’s, we can try.
2:57 – Forgot to mention, after surviving last night with my New Mexico pick, I’m going with Maryland as [...]

Day one of the Madness

by Dan Bilicki In: Basketball

Here are some of RTP’s thoughts about the opening day of the NCAA tournament. And please don’t call the play-in game the first day, it’s a glorified pity game for two weak teams.
By the way, by liveblog, I really meant more like “sporadic thoughts with timestamps by them.”
11:07 – Love to say I could go [...]

Food for thought about your bracket

by Dan Bilicki In: Basketball

With the NCAA tournament starting on this wild Thursday afternoon, why not throw out a few statistics about March Madness that might make you say, “Really?” But you’ll probably be paying too much attention to the games to even care.
-So what exactly are the odds of picking a perfect bracket? Well, you would have to [...]

Tiger to take to the course

by Dan Bilicki In: Golf

I couldn’t think of a better tournament to host Tiger Woods’ comeback to golf than The Masters.
Think about how affected a smaller tournament would have been by being Tiger’s return from exile. Think about how many extra press passes and tickets would be sold. It would become an absolute zoo and it would turn from [...]

Pujols for Howard

by Dan Bilicki In: Baseball, Fantasy

Are you kidding me? Reports are saying that the Philadelphia Phillies have discussed the possibility of trading Ryan Howard for Albert Pujols. This might be the most ridiculous rumour I’ve heard in years.
Firstly, how are the Phillies just discussing this? They could land the best player in baseball by trading away a home run hitter [...]

Get ready for the Madness

by Dan Bilicki In: Basketball

Selection Sunday has come and gone and now we’re left with plenty of brackets to fill out over the next three days, before the clock strikes noon on Thursday and the games get under way. So how do I feel about looking at my bracket for the first time? Not that great actually; this is [...]

Losers, rich, rich losers

by Dan Bilicki In: Soccer

Money can’t buy you championships. Just ask Real Madrid how they’re feeling right now and the answer could be something like: “Like losers, but rich, rich losers.”
Lyon came into the game with a 1-0 lead after taking the first leg 1-0 at home. Holding Real to a clean sheet is impressive enough, but walking into [...]

End of the Dumbleavy era

by Dan Bilicki In: Basketball

His reign of terror is finally over. Yes Clippers fans, all 22 of you, Mike Dunleavy is no longer in charge of your club in any aspect.
After stepping down as the team’s coach less than a month ago to take over the GM job – something he wasn’t 100% incompetent at – Dunleavy has been [...]

Closing time

by Dan Bilicki In: Baseball, Fantasy

Well I hope you didn’t draft your fantasy baseball team already; you could be into some closer trouble already. Aside from races that are far from being settled, like the Rays and Jays, one of the premier ninth-inning men has already gone down.
Joe Nathan of the Twins, who had 47 saves and a 2.10 ERA [...]

Stars in trouble

by Dan Bilicki In: Basketball, Football

It wasn’t the best weekend to be a superstar from the state of Pennsylvania. Two of the state’s biggest stars were in some hot water for different reasons, but now some big questions will come to the public’s attention that I’m sure neither guy would like to see out there.
First, Big Ben Roethlisberger was reportedly [...]
