NHL and NFL all-star games this weekend, NBA coming up in a couple weeks. I have less than zero interest in pretty much all of them (maybe slight interest in the NBA), and I'm not sure I'm in the minority. Have they all lived past their shelf life? Half a century back or so, they had viewing...

So, I signed up for the CBS Sports Parlay Pick em contest at the beginning of the year. You pick one NFL parlay per week against the odds, anywhere from 2 to all of the games. Figured I try some 3-4 team parlays and see how I do. Actually hit a 3 teamer in week 1 and a 5 teamer this week, so not...

Former Runaways bassist Jackie Fuchs (Jackie Fox) is a three day winner on Jeopardy. Scored on questions about the B-52s and Carlie Rae Jepsen. The Runaways’ Jackie Fuchs Is a “Jeopardy!” Winner That's a pretty nice combination to have on the resume. Oh, besides being an attorney and writer.

Keith Richards outlives his ex and mother to three of their children: Anita Pallenberg, Actress and Longtime Love of Keith Richards, Dies at 73 Always was struck by her beauty back in the day. She was the poster girl for the 'swinging sixties' scene to me.

Created a group called sj.com on yahoo for the NCAA tourney. Works a little different this year--no group name and password, but just had me copy and share the group link below. Hope this works for those interested. It's bracket time! Join my Yahoo Sports Tourney Pick'em group, sj.com.

So, sometime this week we will likely cross the 3,000,000 post mark on the site, at least this incarnation, going back to the famously remembered passing of Moe Drabowsky in June of 2006. Perhaps ol’ Moe get a special recognition as the patron saint of sj.com. 3 million pearls of wisdom. Ok...

This goes back a ways, but I don't recall it being discussed here and a cursory search didn't turn anything up. A school district in Florida (yes, Florida) reached a settlement with the families of 3 teenagers who committed suicide, who had all been hypnotized by the school principal, one of...

The nominees are in for the RnR HoF class of 2016, and it's a mighty strong list in my view--clearly way more viable selections on the list than in previous years. Rock Hall of Fame: Janet Jackson, N.W.A, NIN, the Smiths Lead Nominees Here's the list--have at it. I'll be back to add some...

Yes, it's only halfway through the year, but as opposed to a lot of recent previous years where there wasn't a lot of standout candidates for SI's Sportsman of the Year, we already have a good number of candidates with some strong, sometimes history making performances this year: 1. American...

... was the play Abraham Lincoln was attending at Ford's Theatre 150 years ago today when he was shot by John Wilkes Booth. Really would have liked him to be able to see the country be brought back together in the years ahead after spending his previous 4 years trying to prevent it from being...

Update story out about one of the original teacher-student sex scandals (at least original in terms of broad media coverage) -- Mary Kay Latourneau. For those who may have been in school themselves at the time and aren't old enough to remember, Ms. Latourneau was banging a 13 year old, got...

Pull up the Sports and News board just now, and the first page contains 6 RIP threads, one thread on cancer, one on a plane crash, one on physical assault and one on murder. What a pleasant diversion to my day.

So, I see quite an array of online dating ads on SportsJournalists.com from all over the world. Apparently, the online marketers have the impression our population is either a) a bunch of monied, international playboys or b) desperate for any contact whatsoever with the opposite sex, whereby a...

Actually probably a better description would be rock and roll turning points , but thought I'd do an homage to a 20 year old Stones live album with a great studio cut, “ High Wire”. Trying to capture those defining moments in the life span of a rock and roll band---moments when the rocket ship...

Three times in the past two weeks, we've seen a team score fifty points---and lose. Two by double digits. Used to be you score 30 and pretty much chalked up a W. Now, you score 30 and have a good chance of being beat by two touchdowns or more. Just wondering what the board denizens and experts...

Well Miss Universe Canada actually. But, Jenna Talackova won't be wearing the tiara at the end, because she used to be a he. http://gma.yahoo.com/miss-universe-disqualifies-transgender-contestant-171310260--abc-news.html
