Today John Madden announced his retirement after 30 years in the broadcast booth.  Cris Collinsworth will replace Madden in the booth.

I’ll always remember John Madden not only for his awesome video game (thanks EA Sports), but for the parodies done for him over the years.  And of course his addiction to drawing all over the screen.

We’re 4 hours away from the 2009 Men’s Basketball Championship game. Michigan State vs. UNC. Is anyone else already tired of MSU being propped up as a symbol of hope for the whole state of Michigan? We all feel bad for Michigan’s economic plight, but come on. With that being said, I’ll be pulling for the Spartans tonight. Tyler Hansborough cannot be allowed to win the NCAA title under any circumstances. He’s already far too insufferable.

If you are in Detroit for the game tonight, watch your wallet!

Next time you step on the soccer pitch, be mindful of your farts. That’s right.

Shots fired at Tom Brady’s second wedding to Giselle? WTF?! Nice offseason, NFL.

Screw Kiper and McShay-this guy has you covered with an NFL superhero mock draft. I’d be very pleased if The Punisher fell to the Dolphins at #25. Great value there. And I think Wolverine would go much higher, but maybe his stock has slipped due to character issues.

Wrestlemania 25 recap here.

Enjoy the game tonight. MSU 81 UNC 79

Two pretty huge NFL stories today as we gear up for the Final Four: Jay Cutler’s ongoing saga with the Broncos and the plight of foolish Browns WR Donte Stallworth.

Stallworth is in some serious trouble, as DUI Manslaughter charges have been filed against him. (Cnn.com and the Palm Beach Post)

The mile high insanity continues in Denver, and it looks like the ugly divorce between QB Jay Cutler and the Broncos is gonna be finalized in a big way. Such an unnecessary disaster all around. Broncos blog Mile High Report weighs in here, and has a nice roundup of links about the story here.

JoPa is interviewed during Penn State NIT game, proceeds to display his 137 year old sensibilities.
