President Obama has one #1 seed left alive in his brackets – Kansas. So how come no one is opining that he made that decision because of his parentage.

And just wondering, who the heck keeps giving Butler these low seeds anyway?
Although let’s be honest, Brad Stevens looks less like a basketball coach, than a wannabe actor who was cast in a bit part for the movie “Social Network.”

A new portrait of Pedro Martinez has been unveiled in the National Portrait Gallery. Museum staff have already noticed some mornings that nearby portraits appear to have been knocked down.

Bill Littlejohn’s take on the same subject: “A portrait of Pedro Martinez is going to be displayed at the Smithsonian. It’s the first thing Pedro has sent to the canvas since Don Zimmer.”
