Holy crap! Six overtimes. There comes a moment in games like last night's battle between Syracuse and UConn when even people playing just want to get the freaking game over and go home. Has anyone ever read the "Iowa Baseball Confederacy" by "Field of Dreams" author WP Kinsella? It's a novel about a baseball game that goes into extra innings and won't end. Ever. Still, those six OT's were an amazing spectacle. And, as a bonus, we got to see Jim Calhoun mad.

Watching ESPN.com video is always a pain in the ass, but even the fifteen-second commercial first is worth watching to get the whole highlight package for this epic match.



DJ Gallo has done some nice work making fun of Terrell Owens. Just a few more thoughts on TO, because we'd like to get some prop bets on him down now.

Nah, not how many yards or touchdowns he gets in 2009. We want to bet the over/under on how many times Owens comes back after his very public "retirements"? We figure there will be at least two (tearful) press conferences, after this season and next. Also, when he does retire, how long before he goes on "Dancing with the Stars" and how many times will he drop Julianne Hough?

Chris Bosh of the Toronto Raptors does the weather for a local news show. Badly. Complete with a nice jibe from the anchor who introduces the segment:



Bill Belichick sings backups for Jon Bon Jovi on "Wanted: Dead or Alive." You can't make this stuff up. We just can't embed it. On so many levels, this clip violates the senses. But if like watching middle-aged football coaches dance awkwardly and sing off key to 80's pop, this link is for you.
