    I have found a pretty fun outdoor run for my skill level on Sunday mornings - I'm 40, still kind of fat but I've been playing five or six times a week (lost 25 pounds in the past year), so I can keep up with most of these guys, who range from 25 to 50. The somewhat bizarre thing is that they call EVERYTHING. Charges, illegal screens, even travels on the baseline for inbound plays. The only thing that isn't called is backcourt, because the court is like 4/5 the length of a normal court. It's always amusing when someone new comes to play for the first time, but for the most part the games move quick and there is less arguing over calls than on the public court I play during the week.

    Prince and Sheena Easton had the World Series Of Love.

    Purdue and NC State are the World Series Of Little Brother programs.

    You guys need to watch a replay of the call. It wasn't borderline.

    I can conclude from that DJ (edit Burns) graphic that Rock Hill, S.C., must have the greatest barbecue place on Earth.

    Over-under on Sunday at 19 million?? Is it possible they somehow get to 20?

    Maybe a black graphic on top of a black halfcourt line was not sound planning.

    Ian Eagle is a definite upgrade over Nantz.
    But Raftery and Hill are just nothings.

    I’d rather have Al McGuire. He’d call Edey an aircraft carrier.

    Imagine choosing THIS YEAR to plant your flag declaring that nobody watches women's college basketball..

    I wonder if ESPN/ABC would rather have had prime time than 3 p.m. Sunday.
