Arenas Now Has The Rest of 09-10 To Pull Gun Stunts

In a move that solidifies David Stern as one of the two “last dictator” commissioners in sports (with Roger Goodell), Gilbert Arenas will not take the floor again in 2009-10, according to Adrian Wojnarowski of Yahoo! Sports.
The NBA columnist reports that after a meeting with the commish in New York today, Arenas was presented with [...]

South Carolina Fans Are Savvier Than We Thought

With offense to none (and you can’t get offended, because I just said “no offense”), the University of South Carolina isn’t quite what comes to mind when you think of academic hotbeds.
However, maybe we need to give credit where credit is due.
If you missed it, the unheralded Gamecocks got 30 points from Devan Downey and [...]

THIS MADNESS HAS GOT TO STOP

If Digger Phelps of ESPN and his dynamic two-step keeps snatching up hot ACC girls, there’s going to be none left for the rest of us.
We’ve highlighted the dancing exploits of The Worldwide Leader’s resident tie/highlighter fashion coordinator here on NSF in the past, but this ESPN College Gameday video clip just seems…different than the [...]

Are The Redskins TRYING To Embarrass Zorn?

Yesterday, Christmas (or, Hanukkah) came early for DC sports fans.
After so many long years of mismanagement and giving Daniel Snyder the ol’ lapdog treatment, Vinny Cerrato, the team’s director of football operations, quit.
In his place comes the Redskins fist true general manager of the Snyder ownership era. Bruce Allen has deep and long running ties [...]

Big Ten Expansion – The Domino Effect (Or, How The Big East Once Again Gets Screwed Royally)

So the Big Ten conference, what of it’s “three yards and a cloud of dust” and multi-million dollar in revenue generation TV network, wants a 12th team.
Remarkably, it has already been 19 years since the conference added an 11th team. Doesn’t time fly, JoePa?
Now, in a statement released yesterday, the league is ready to add [...]

Would the Fiesta Bowl Like To Explain Itself?

Somewhere in the depths of my mind, I have tried over the last few days to piece together a supposed memo that BCS commissioner John Swofford sent Fiesta Bowl chairman John Junker this past Saturday night.
I imagine it went something like this:
Dear John-
So, as you know, we’ve got this nasty little problem where we’re probably [...]

Why I’m Done Defending The Rose Bowl

For the longest time, I”ve stood up for the BCS.
I longed for the pageantry, cried for the money and screamed for the tradition of bowl games…as a whole.
I’m also the world’s biggest West Coast football apologist. I’m the walking, breathing antithesis of East Coast Bias. I’m the guy that stays up until 3:00 a.m. to [...]

This Is Why The Panthers Will Never Be Good

This just in: taking a hockey stick to the head when it is swung like a baseball bat hurts like hell.
When it’s done by your own teammate, not only does it hurt, it qualifies as a FACE.
Here’s the situation. The Panthers are taking on the Atlanta Thrashers at Philips Arena. Currenly, the Thrash is riding [...]

South Bend – Where Quitting Happens

UPDATE (3:39 EST): Peace out, Charlie.
On a day in which Charlie Weis’ career at the University of Notre Dame could be over, the indignity of a once proud, now run-of-the-mill college football program is once again rearing its head.
According to a report by the Associated Press, the team is holding a meeting this afternoon to [...]

U…C…L…A…UCLA Face Face Face!

Yes, that’s right. I’ve rewritten the famous lyrics to the UCLA eight-clap.
The reason? Last night’s double-overtime uber-FACE that was the Bruins’ 68-65 to Cal State Fullerton of the Big West last night at Pauley Pavilion.
The telling stat from last night’s season-opening loss for the once-dominant Sons of Westwood was that their three-headed outside-the-arc mosnter of [...]
