Vivian Stringer reaches 800 wins Stringer joined Pat Summitt and Jody Conradt as the only women's basketball coaches to win 800 games as No. 4 Rutgers beat DePaul 60-46 on Wednesday night.

Should be a good game tonight vs UConn. #1 vs #4, and #4 Rutgers won the other meeting this season. Of course, they'll probably play again in the Big Est tourney, and then possibly in the NCAAs.

The 2007 one is very nice. The 2005 one linked in the comments is hideous. The Detroit Tigers font shouldn't be mixed with anything.

The Smoking Gun Reveals Steelers Secrets! "Touring rock stars and politicians alike could learn a few things from the Pittsburgh Steelers. When the football team hits the road, hotel personnel are presented with a 17-page document outlining the NFL squad's demands, from chapel services to chicken wings."

I thought that was a lot more interesting than the average Smoking Gun rider. Not weird or wacky, but intersting. But then I love the arcana of organization.

Police: Teen Posed as a Reporter at Shea. In the old days kids just tried to sneak past the guards. These days it's fake press credentials. Hmmmm....wonder if that'll work at Dodger stadium?

I can't imagine they were thinking of sports writers when they drafted that law.

US Stumbles Out of the Gates The United States soccer team has a dissapointing World Cup opener, losing 0-3 against the Czech Republic.

The Japan Australia game was thrilling Yeah, and I'm kind of glad that the US wasn't on the bottom in that one.

Steelers: Big Ben Injured In Motorcycle Accident Everyone in Pittsburgh has just had a anxiety attack.

I'm surprised he doesn't have some kind of clause that prohibits riding without a helmet, considering how much risk it transfers to the Steelers. I've seen interviews with Ewan McGregor where he's said that while he's filming movies, he's banned from riding his bike entirely.

Brackets trashed around the country. Although some people might of picked George Mason to upset Michigan State and even make the sweet sixteen, most were crying foul after they made the tournament over Hofstra. The Patriots have now proved everyone wrong as they have become the first mid-major to make the tournament after beating Connecticut in a huge upset today.

Someone told me this morning that there are actually 4 people on the ESPN brackets that picked the final four. I want to know what kind of drugs they were using. I read a story about that somewhere, so it should be on Google News. The best part was that one of the guys thought he was picking George Washington instead of George Mason... he put in another bracket when he realized his mistake.

Why skating is not a sport And I'm not sure that I agree with his opinion. I think all sports are competitive or you don't have a game, match or whatever.

Yawn. Wake me when some other hack writes this article again four years from now. You know it. Even the debate is unbearably boring now, it's been repeated so many times.

The acrobatic ski thing was just prelims, so they're not going to focus on it. And they did show two other different downhill skiing events.

Bode's a bust Maybe he needs to stay out of the bars at night.

It was silly to predict golds at all. You win the World Cup by finishing consistently good, not by winning every race.

That one legged save in slo-mo was the highlight of the Olympics for me. Like an acrobat. I suppose I just can't get all worked up about a guy (and a sport) that I didn't care about last month and that I'll forget about by next month.

The Agony of Defeat. Lots of crashes on the luge track for the women. Also mentioned in the men's coverage was a training run crash by Gold Medalist Zoeggler, and the 52 year old Venezuelan competitor. I understand not showing horrific NFL hits so that players aren't tempted to engange in undue violence to get camera coverage, but it seems something happened to the old Wide World Of Sports style Agony of Defeat moments. I understand the respect for privacy in an especially bad accident, perhaps like the one described in the link. But it seems to me that once upon a time, footage of Zoeggler's crash in training would have been shown before each of his runs. Is NBC hurting their ratings by not indulging the morbid curiosity factor?

So in the end, this post is complaining about NBC censoring something they actually showed in primetime? Personally, I thought the ice skating fall by the Chinese girl looked way more painful. And that got a couple of slow-mo replays.

Stewart Rips NASCAR For 'Dangerous' Racing Defending Nextel Cup series champion Tony Stewart criticized superspeedway racing following his third-place finish in the Budweiser Shootout on Sunday, saying ``we're going to hurt somebody really, really bad.'' Is restrictor-plate racing too dangerous?

We don't need cars flying into the grand stands. One of these days someone is going to have a flipping roll that happens in the wrong place.

The new scoring system doesn't deduct points for a fall, it just adds less for that element (as long as you complete the revolutions before falling). This isn't nearly as bad for the overall score.

You can tell the Olympics are coming when the local papers start having their baseball/football guys write columns on swimming. Our paper had one where the guy questioned even the possibility of suits making you go faster, and suggested the recent records were "because they worked harder".
