Tennessee wins in 4 overtimes! That was a thrilling game. We're playing in the SEC championship! Go VOLS!!!

Well the Tokyo Olympics will start this Friday and even though Lance is no longer fencing I thought I might share a piece with you explaining some of the basics of the sport should you consider watching the USA fencers in action. The video was shot at Lance's former fencing studio; the fencer Ysaora trained with and fenced Lance multiple times and Lance would occasionally beat her. At the 5 minute mark you will see our friend and Lance's coach Maurizio who Lance will be visiting in Italy next Month. Ysaora is France's number one foil fencer and projected to medal. Mixed emotions here I gotta say... Fencing 4 U

starting this Caps/Cans, game 3, Alex Ovechkin just landed a 3 punch knockout on Svechnikov. It was amazing. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

http://www.wpxi.com/sports/9356102/detail.html Guess thats what he gets for not wearing a helmet, but pretty much the entire city of Pittsburgh is holding its breath hoping he'll be alright.

Congrat to Stretch on the first South African to wear the yellow jersey! Impey looks a little like you although his name is kind of the opposite of yours.

The Mitchell Report is going to be released in about 20 min or so. It's already leaked out that Roger Clemens will be named and it's expected to name anywhere from 50-80 additional players.

Well it's official! After two great AFC and NFC championship games we have the Saints and the Colts going to the superbowl. The saints/vikings game was one of the best i've seen in awhile. Hoping Drew Brees can bring it home this year

Overall smooth start to the race today without massive pile-ups that often happen in the first days. The crowds were unbelievable in Yorkshire -- such a turnout could not have been expected. Cavendish screwed it up in the last 250 meters because he was too anxious and now it seems likely that he will be out of the race altogether. Sad finish for the home crowd but Kittel is the real deal and Sagan doesn't have the same level of power but is still crafty and quite fast. I hate Cuntador but they say he is in great shape and will at least challenge Froome more than last year. It would be nice to have some others step up and create some drama. I will miss Quinta…

The NFL season has started and my team I liked since I was 6 is just killing me . But, there are many shining moments like this one . Bam

Any other fans or does everyone here hate 'em??? I grew up 100 miles from LA and have watched them religiously my whole life. Needless to say, I am very excited with how this year is unfolding .

So apparently hockey interest has waned quite a bit here, but wanted to start a thread for the playoffs, round 2 and on. Liking the Bruins, they were so much fun to watch this year and just got out of the first round. Toronto just matched up very well with them, and I'm hoping the regular season match-up with the Lightning carries into this series. Just finished watching the Caps & Pens game, glad Caps won this. Series will be great to watch, some great skill, physical play, and genuine dislike going on here. As a Bruins fan, hoping the Bruins get to the next round, I want to see this series go 7 games and get them all tired out Happy also to see SJS…

Rather than revive the 2014 thread I figured I'd get a new one going. Don't tell the boss, but not a lot of work is going to get done Thursday and Friday. My bracket... here goes nothing!

Anybody keeping up with the games? I didn't fill out a bracket this year. I'm loving every Butler game thus far, although it's sad to see BYU getting knocked out by Florida. Watching UConn advance to the elite eight is great news for new england schools considering the lack thereof in the tournament overall. Jimmer or Kemba, who's the better PG?

Hurray, we bought another title!

Just wondering if there're any Red Sox fans here? So far so good, though I hope Coco will come back quickly from the injury. I like how Beckett has done to this point and let's hope his chronic blister problem doesn't surface this year.

OK lets give this a try. I haven't hosted one of these before so I'll try not to screw it up too badly You will need to register (if you are not already) at CBSSports.com here: http://www.cbssports.com After that you can access the Head Case group here: http://mf1.mayhem.cbssports.com/e?ttag=13_cbspaste Group PW = moonshine After that it should be fairly straightforward: make your picks. 11:00 am ET on March 21, 2013 is the deadline I believe (The First Four play in games do not count). Be sure to read the scoring rules. It's weighted by round with a seed bonus (added not multiplied). Round Point Allocation Per Game: Round 1 - 1 point Round 2 - 2 …

Someone please tell me they're following this too

If this "source" is legit, I pray they put this a-hole under the damn jail. Better yet...put him in the pit with several of his own dogs and let justice be served. I have absolutely no sympathy for sick, pathetic individuals who abuse animals like this. Again, if it's true. According to this article, the source is a good one and legit. Kicking him out of the league simply isn't enough. He needs to do time and a lot of it. JMO http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=2884063

Anything interesting here, or same old, same old? Fun to see the Bulls doing so well and the emergence of Derrick Rose as a prime time player. My brother and his boys were at the game today in Chicago to witness a 16-1 run by the Bulls in the last 2 and a half minutes of the game to pull it off. Not counting on much though. Wouldn't be surprised to see the Lakers and Celtics in the finals, as usual.

I was hoping that Slovakia will repeat their success with Italy and will beat Netherlands. Unfortunately they have lost - but the match was really good IMO. And they scored a goal at last.

Both Mizzou and WVU are losing right now. What a mess the BCS will be if they both end up going down. God I love college football

Please send your thoughts and prayers for J.A. Happ, pitcher for the Toronto Blue Jays, who took a hard hit line drive directly off of his head in tonight's game in Tampa. J.A. (who goes by "Jay") is from my home town area in Central Illinois, and went to the same high school that I did, although some 20 years later. I've followed his career very closely (hardly ever missing a single pitch he's thrown in the majors), so of course I was watching the game tonight on MLB.TV. Warning: it's not pretty... http://www.mlbdailydish.com/2013/5/7/4310406/j-a-happ-injury-blue-jays Watching this live was quite difficult for me. I sure hope this young man hasn't just suffered any lif…

Saw the NHL one and figured why not? Looks like Lebron is starting the playoffs in fine form YouTube - Lebron James Posterizes James Johnson of Bulls

Apparently true. Not guaranteed money, which is good..... http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2013/06/10/patriots-to-sign-tim-tebow/ Heard that they may try him out at Tight End.....

Surprised no one has made a thread about this yet. Who's ready for some fun?
