The_Black_Hand wins the week with 96 after locking every single game and only losing two.
It's a bold strategy Cotton, let's see if it pays off for 'em.

The real shame is that Bonds' whole career was overshadowed by the cloud of suspicion surrounding his chase for the home run record. When he was in Pittsburgh, he was one of the best ballplayers I've ever seen, a legit five-tool player who would likely be in the HoF already, despite his occasional surliness.

Mississippi Today has also done some strong work on this. Listened to an interview Dan LeBatard did with Anna Wolfe about her reporting on this, and all I can say is, Favre should be in prison.
Just a thoroughly awful person. You can't stress the point enough that he conspired to take money from the poorest people in the poorest state in America to enrich himself and his family.

"A bit of a homer?"
Homer J. Simpson is less of a Homer. The guy who wrote The Iliad is less of a Homer.
I'm a Celtics fan, but I really hope he stretched before that reach.

I watched the Celtics build a lead, but in the back of my mind, kept hearing the old SportsCenter adage, "It's the NBA, everybody makes a run." I really thought Brooklyn had stolen it until that madcap last 10 seconds.
What a game. This series is going to cause an absurd amount of palpitations.

NoMich, the Basketball Illuminati podcast found that, between the men's and women's tourneys, the #2 seed traveled an average of (going from memory, so don't quote me) 1,000 miles.
Except UConn, which took a leisurely 79-mile day trip.
