Day three of the world's greatest postseason tournament, so how is your bracket looking? Great? Horrible? Keeping your head above water? At this point, if you've still got your Final Four teams around, consider it a win-win and count your blessings. West Virginia shut the talk up about the Big East being the most disappointed conference thus far, at least momentarily. And Cornell did what most of the experts predicted them to do, beat number 5 Temple to advance to the field of 32. However, after today, half of the Sweet 16 will be set. Here's who we think will [...]
"Hey Mike... How my bracket look?" Hopefully yesterday was favorable towards you & your bracket. But if your like most people (99.7% of the world) & had Georgetown advancing far in the tournament, just take solace that everyone is still on equal footing. But if you were one of those starry-eyed dreamers who had Richmond going far, just go sit in the corner. Congratulations are in order for Murray State & Ohio as well, for pulling off the upsets no one saw coming except for their student bodies. Murray [...]
Cited: Associated Press On February 19, Tiger Woods publicly apologized for his behavior and admits that he was "foolish". He also admitted that he was in therapy without revealing any new details about his infidelity and told the world he's not sure when he will play golf again. Speaking before a small group at the TPC Sawgrass clubhouse and a massive television audience, one of the world's most-recognized athletes repeatedly told his family, sponsors and fans — in essence, everyone connected [...]
Day one of the NCAA tournament may be the greatest sporting day of the year. But unlike the Super Bowl which is nestled on a cozy Sunday in between a breakfast beer and an afternoon of chicken wings, March Madness always starts on a Thursday. And if you're like most sports loving saps, you're probably stuck at the office finger fucking the hell out of a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet. Here are a few tips for watching the tournament while at work. You have to [...]
Today's gonna be a good day y'all. Between March Madness, SXSW and along with recuperating from St. Patty's day, this is definitely one of those unofficial holidays. With North Carolina out of the picture & Michigan State most likely gone by the end of the weekend, the door is open for a new champion to walk away with the crown. And I mean wide open. Last year, you could count on three fingers who was going to be the champ last year. But this year, there are eight or nine [...]
Wilt Chamberlain scored 100 points in a single game. He had sex with thousands of women. Magic Johnson is the greatest point guard of all time. We assume he had sex with thousands of women as well. I can understand the appeal for a groupie to want to give it up to two legends of their caliber. Hell, I can understand how Greg Oden's Lord Of The Rings villain face can get some from an armada of skanks. But Winston Bennett? [...]
The Commander in Chief weighs in with his picks for March Madness. It's in these casual moments when you really realize how cool and smooth Obama is. I take great solace in knowing that our President could stop a war by seducing a fanatical but hot terrorist. Head HERE for a visual breakdown of his picks.

The above version was made for the 2010 FIFA World Cup in South Africa this summer (July?). But this new version just dropped last week as well: " K'naan's "Wavin' Flag" is one of the standout tracks from his Troubadour album and has become something of a phenomenon thanks to its timely message of strength and solidarity. Now famed producer Bob Ezrin has brought together top Canadian performers for Young Artists for Haiti, and the group's rendition of the song takes it to new heights. [...]
Cordell Joker Pace of the weekly sports program THE BIG PROGRAM lays down his righteous picks for the NCAA Men's B-BAll tourney 2010..."read 'em and bet on em baby, cause there guaranteed to come thru"! I was goin to make picks on the women's tourney but the UConn ladies r so good they should be [...]
Finally. We get to see some real aggression on a tennis court from a player NOT named Serena Williams . It's never a good thing when you place two people in the same room that have to pretend to like each other. And like clockwork, Andre Agassi and Pete Sampras verified this at an event that was supposed to benefit victims of the Haiti earthquake. Instead, the two tennis legends traded verbal volleys that left the match on shaky ground. "It was out of line," [...]
Here it is ladies and gentlemen...I could be way off, I could have just gotten the first perfect bracket in human history, who knows. Have fun watching the tournament, and make sure to keep listening to The Big Program! -John The Intern (The Big Program, 6-8 PM)
Join our gang as we prepare to cheer for our favorites, bet on the best and cry when either one of the aforementioned squads loses. You, too, can be a part of the Uproxx Pool of Awesome by clicking here . To the top three victors will go the spoils, the rest will receive nothing. A few unlucky ducklings will be shamed with the knowledge that they finished dead last. Scared? I'm sure there's a NIT bracket hosted on dial-up somewhere on the internuts.

If you didn't catch the Paquiao -Clottey fight Saturday night, don't sweat it - you didn't miss anything. This snoozefest of a match was further proof that the fight that should have went down has to be inked. I bet I wasn't the only one repeating in my head, "It should have been Mayweather in there" but alas, all we got was Pac-Man again systematically tearing down another fighter for his 12th straight win. Manny Pacquiao's unanimous decision victory over Joshua Clotty lived up to what most knew what [...]
It's going down tonight. Who you got? Hit the jump if you need a stream...
