I'm not one for the "Man v. Food" show, as it frequently involves host Adam Richman devouring ungodly portions of food in a race against time, vomit or death, really. Fortunately, Richman kept it fairly clean when inviting Jim Boeheim by for last night's episode. The two had a light exchange at a quaint table in one of Syracuse's most famous hot-dog joints, Heid’s of Liverpool. Still, the place is no Dinosaur ... Read More

A ripple within one of the most talented teams in the Atlantic 10 was felt yesterday, when sophomore forwards Chris Clarke and Carmel Bouchman decided to not return this season.

It's now official: BYU has less than a year remaining as a member of the Mountain West Conference. The school and the WCC announced tonight they'll be teaming up in all sports save for football come 2011-12. The Cougars are going through with their threat of being an independent in pigskin, a move that will assuredly bring an intelligent column or five about the benefits and consequences of that move. Here's the ... Read More

It's been an unusually rocky offseason in East Lansing. First there was Tom Izzo flirting with the Cavs job, then Chris Allen was dismissed from the team, and now comes the arrest of shooting guard, junior Korie Lucious. Lucious imbibed and then, like so many foolish college students (though they are hardly the only guilty ones), thought he could handle a two-ton vehicle. So now we've got this and Joe Mazzulla peeing ... Read More

One of the most endearing personality traits a person can have is the ability to laugh at themselves. Self-deprecation among coaches isn't commonplace. The ones who embrace it are most often the ones who are treated with the most kindness by the media. Bob Huggins will put himself on trial Friday when he gets roasted — but in the name of a good cause. Huggins, who lost his mother in 2003 ... Read More

Hey, when you gotta go, you gotta ... make sure no po-pos are leering anywhere nearby. But Joe Mazzulla and Dalton Pepper were not so cautious. The two received citations early Sunday morning for disorderly conduct and public urination. Hilariously humiliating. Not so funny for Bob Huggins. This is more fodder against 'Eers coach, who is being roasted in the name of raising money to fight cancer this Friday. The run-in with the ... Read More

During halftime of the Boost Mobile Elite 24, a game that annually features 24 of the nation's best high school basketball players, Wiltjer announced he was picking UK over Wake Forest, California, Gonzaga and Texas, the other schools who wanted him. He made his commitment without even visiting the Wildcats camp, something that is quite surprising and relatively rare.

This is the trouble Twitter will get you in if you're an athlete with a propensity for transparency. Had Marcus Jordan not tweeted away his indiscretions in Las Vegas recently, it's likely the Nevada Gaming Board Control wouldn't be on his trail, trying to deduce just how many laws, and to what degree, MJ's son broke. The sons of NBA Hall of Famer Michael Jordan charged booze tabs exceeding $50,000 to ... Read More

If he does leave, we could have a meme on our hands. From here on out, whenever a school goes through an extensive, tedious, elongated process to enroll an over-21-years-old player, only to see said player leave after a year. That could be referred to as being Majok'd. The Hartford Courant is reporting Ater Majok is going to leave UConn and go back to playing professional ball in Australia. The move will ... Read More

No BCS program has taken as many body blows in so many ways like Louisville has in the past 18 months. The latest punches to the gut came yesterday, when the school learned Memphis transfer Roburt Sallie and recruit Justin Coleman won't play for the team this season. Due to the timing requirements of meeting the matriculation deadline for graduate school, former University of Memphis guard Roburt Sallie will ... Read More

You want to see how much the game has changed in 55 years? The video inside is for you.

A ranking from the best to worst, and news on how the underrated television program has expanded for the better in the upcoming season.

The coaches wanted it; why wouldn't it seem like it was actually going to happen? When the Big East coaches convened in sunny Florida during May, they unanimously voted to rid the conference tournament at Madison Square Garden of the horrendous double-bye format it recently adopted. But no such luck. The school presidents have the ultimate say and they say the double bye must stay. The Big East's presidents did not approve earlier ... Read More

Hawaii in talks to join Big West; Utah State has second go-round with Mountain West. Conference chaos continues to carry on.

The Big 12 has seen more players come and go this offseason than any other BCS league. Missouri started it, then Baylor soon followed suit. Iowa State just picked up Chris Allen. Varez Ward left Texas. Kansas State lost Dominique Sutton to a small-time North Carolina Central. And also consider Colorado and Nebraska announcing they'll leave the conference after this season. LSU guard Bo Spencer is the latest to switch allegiances. He ... Read More

Has Texas basketball's offseason been the busiest one that nobody's been talking about? Remember the Longhorns last year? How deep that team was? Nevermind the epic collapse and whimper job in The Tournament. At the very least, Rick Barnes had bodies. Too many bodies, really; Barnes couldn't juggle all that talent and keep the team from combusting. Strangely, ego and a me-first mindset didn't seem to plague the team. Eventually, there ... Read More

If only he could drop a J like he can a G. Make that 50 Gs. Michael Jordan's son + Las Vegas + 20 years old + braggadocio over thousands of dollars lost = instant news. Marcus Jordan and his brother, Jeff, both of whom will play at Central Florida this year, took a trip out to Vegas because ol' Pop was hosting his annual basketball camp. The information of Marcus' big spending spree ... Read More

It's their era. The youthful boys and girls who choose to spend their summers not by playing video games indoors. Or even playing basketball games outdoors. No, trick-shot videos have become all the rage in the past year. It's an ever-competitive one-upmanship that is elevated each week on YouTube. These videos can get teenagers their 15 seconds of fame, thanks to shows like ESPN's "SportsNation." Because, without YouTube, would this movement even ... Read More
