Gah...Sue Bird was right there!

Stop showing Jerloma's band. They are huge dorks.

I almost went catchings because of that new commercial[ but then thought it was showing off defensive prowess, so I thought maybe she was just a stopper. Had to play it safe there.

Epic battle in the EWR parking lot between me and Rass! And apparently I'm the only guy who didn't know Teddy Roosevelt was the youngest President, but not alone in thinking Rebecca Lobo was a WNBA hall of famer. First name that popped in my head and I avoided thinking it'd be the obvious answer.

AT THE HALF

I guess "public school student" isn't a job.

Sweating through my suit coat

Miami and Atlanta were the only ones that came to my mind, and I figured Miami was more popular. No clue why.

I’m a cord cutter, you know?

I'm the UVa of this thing... a series of 1 point answers backed right up with max penalty.

My wife is a Real Housewives watcher, and while I think the entire endeavor is awful, the Atlanta version is fantastic tv.

2 seed Sybian is up on 7 seed Rass by one point with 13 seconds remaining.

The 8 seed Jerloma is only down two to Ryan with 9 seconds left!

Ljam maintains a slim 59-56 lead on BFJ with about a minute to go.


Another 8 seed in Nonlinear is giving 1 seed AB all he can handle, down 61-59 with about 30 seconds to go.


Let's get down to the court(s).
