Stanford women picked a bad game to start shooting free throws like men.

And who had the UConn men in the finals, and the UConn women watching at home?

Rough time to be an ESPN executive with women’s basketball, all the hype (and already canned segments) about a Stanford-UConn rematch, and the network ends up with Texas A & M-Notre Dame?
And changing over to baseball:-
Okay, Giants fans, it’s too soon to panic. But maybe Aubrey Huff needs a fielding thong.

Apparently the reviews were terrible for Charlie Sheen’s first two “Torpedo of Truth,” shows, with many people simply walking out. But maybe fans who bought tickets should have figured this – after all, a torpedo really is a kind of bomb.
