While I fully support making money off the persecution (just or otherwise) of star athletes (I do own a Free Darko shirt after all), I thought it only appropriate to provide our merry pack of degenerates a fresh post in which to place their insights and observations on this fine day of sports. That's right sports...plural. Today's jam-packed with highly interesting College Basketball matchups in the early part of the day that should get you properly hyped for this evening's NFL Playoff tussles. If that wasn't enough, I'm going to provide you with a fun little drinking game and a snappy tune to carry with you as you go throughout the world today.
The drinking game is easy. Every time you hear a player, coach, announcer or anybody else associated with the contest you're viewing talk about the need for people to "step their game up", "step up" or any iteration of that phrase....go ahead and drink. Not coincidentally, I'm going to get you started in grand fashion right now.

You know what I hate about College Basketball? The occasional need to make it seem like Women's College Basketball is as followed, loved and as important to the masses as the Men's version of the game. I don't need College Gameday from a women's game. Not even if the Virgin Mary herself promises to drop 100 on Geno Auriemma and Connecticut.
preach it, brother.
hofstra @ the tribe tonight from kaplan arena on the campus of the college of william & mary. the pride feel like they owe us one after the tribe's 48-47 win two weeks ago on the island.
I'd never root for Hofstra. Not after they turned their collective back on a nickname like Flying Dutchmen.
Jay Bilas comes in peace...Doris Burke leaves in pieces.
Seriously, that teaser clip of the NFL Countdown Rick Reilly piece was so aggravating that I now how to wait and watch the piece when it airs in 12 min...
Oh god, it's on now...and he's fucking rhyming like a douchey Dr. Seuss.
I am extremely excited for this Cuse/West Va tip. College basketball, hooray.
9th Wonder y'all!
If Geno coached a major mens program, he would be one of the most hated men in America. He has Bobby Knight's arrogance, Steve Lavin' smarmyness, and Bob Huggins criminality all in one douchey package.
Who's down? It's free.

I love that Michael Rapaport is somehow involved in that.
Word is that michael Rappaport is one of the biggest d-bags around. A lady hitter too (I think).
Rappaport is a huge hiphop fan. He's directing a documentary about A Tribe Called Quest. Some of my high school friends are already planning the where/when/how we see it.
And he was in Zebrahead. Bad movie, great soundtrack.
I'm now furiously Googling this Tribe doc.
Just checked out that link Zoltan. I would be very much down if I didn't live in another part of the country. I've always wanted to see a show at The Knitting Factory.
Big time move by Triche. I mean BIG TIME.
sitting at the end of the bar by myself, enjoying a mid-afternoon pint and watching hoops. ahhhhh.
and someone tell me about that cuse/wvu game. that score looks like fun.
The Knitting moved to Brooklyn. The new spot is a decent but not outstanding venue. I hope they worked out some of the kinks by now.
why are the michigan state students doing the gator chomp?
Only fools would go to school in Flint.
z, mark, don't forget the mos def/k'naan austin city limits starts airing today
Or wherever the hell MSU is.
east lansing, but don't sweat the details
Anything outside Ann Arbor is a wasteland, as far as this northeastern liberal snob is considered. Where's my John Tesh CD?
is it time to talk about jamie dixon as one of the nation's best coaches? i think it is.
tribe gets love on the msu/illinois broadcast - 'never been dancing'
Sharper and Tribe football got props on ESPN.com this week too.
Sorry we didn't do any commenting from WhiteejFest. Hard to comment whilst double-fist drinking. My favorite highlight was a drunken Teej giddily putting his arm inside his shirt, going empty sleeve, and calling attention to himself when his Def Leppard selection came on the jukebox. Except that it was "Back in Black" by AC/DC. High degree of unintentional comedy for the rest of us.
This Heels/Wreck game is bringing it. Tech needing a Heimlich.
Some schmo on Fox's NFL pregame show just compared driving through a crowd of Saints fans to a religious experience.
sorry we didn't do any texting from daveroblunchapalooza. hard to comment when you're using chopsticks. shrimp wonton oriental noodle soup for me, flat noodles for dave. then an hour or so on the playground with his kids. bought a few used cds at the princeton record exchange. followed it up by drinking alone in a bar watching hoops. not much unintentional comedy, but a nap might be order.
nice job, saints
this is gonna be like an arcade game
or video game, for the younger crowd
drew brees is quite good at his chosen profession
When I watch Arizona, the only thing I root for is more points.
I'm genuinely surprised when Larry Fitzgerald doesn't come down with a 50/50 ball.
Sorry I didn't do any texting from dinner and drink w/ Swint and friends in Nyack. I vomited 4 times at my in laws this morning while they cared for my children. The Father of the Year people have been appropriately notified.
The Saints are fun.
if you bet the under on this game...what the fuck is wrong with you?
I think Kurt Warner just saw Jesus. And not in a good way. Wow. He got popped.
And I don't want your fucking Big Mac snack wrap, McDonald's. If I want to feel like a fat, useless fuck, well, I'll just eat a normal Big Mac.
I fucking hate Darnell Dockett. Eat shit you cheap fuck.
that fade to colston is unstoppable
ohh, leinart with the helmet on. almost as good an idea as bud light golden wheat.
I would like to meet the priest that's hanging out in Boogie Benson's luxury box.
Looks like the Tribe is going to win.
68-60 with :40 left.
Is this a better representation of the score, Rob?
73-68 Tribe.
Final.
I heart this team.
Manning's accuracy is super human. Great drive. Momentum grabbing, time consuming, gutsy and efficient.
That was clearly a helmet to helmet hit by Lewis but that's still a REALLY tough call. Sometimes your momentum just takes over.
Dagger.
Baltimore has shot itself in the foot (or is it feet at this point?) that they may be toeless.
Anyone read the W&M alumni magazine yet? There's a bunch of crazy shit in there this time around.
Gaines Adams is dead. No reports on how he died as of yet.
wow, that's awful. i vividly remember that game against wake when he was a man amongst boys.
How do bagpipes relate to Vikings and/or Cowboys?
We are 1 for 7, in terms of exciting playoff games. Jets-Chargers needs to get it done.
I just don't see the 'Boys making a rally happen. And Ray Edwards' agent has got to be fired up about his performance today.
Wade Phillips has a legitimate B-cup.
The no-huddle looks good. More teams should bust it out when their offense is struggling.
Did not know Prince was a big Vikes fan.
Love the Prince and Bud Grant split screen. How are they not in the same box together?
Timmy, he is a fan of anything purple.
Let the Farvlattio begin.
Bud Grant and Prince have been close as two peas in a pod ever since Bud allowed Prince to purify Bud's soul in the waters of Lake Minnetonka.
And the anti-Favre pendulum has swung back the other way for me. He makes great plays.
the favre/saints/katrina hype combo this week will be lethal to those that aren't prepared to handle it. battle stations, gentlemen.
Favre is on steroids or HGH or something like that. He's got that weird chicken skin thing going on around his jawline that juicehead baseball players get.
How is that pass incomplete? Bullschtein call.
Yeah, that was the last thing I thought had happened when I watched the replay(s).
James Brown's hair in HD is spectacular.
Yeah, a challenge there has the same effect as a TO, and might result in a first down without losing a TO. Not-so-amazing coaching on display today.
I also like how it's perfectly OK for announcers to say that Ryan screwed up there or that Childress screwed up at the end of the first half, but it's unbelievable for the Vikings to score that last TD and rub it in the Cowboys' collective faces.
As LT walked off the field you just your first shot of befuddled Norv. The jets are winning this game.
Darelle Revis is not human.
i think marlin might be right
Jim Leonhard needs a new helmet. One that fits.
NORV.
Norv is not sure who this Revis guy is.
helluva play by sanchez
norv!
Fuck. Yeah.
Well done young fella.
Let's not get over-confident here. Norv is Norv, but the Jets are the Jets.
Anybody notice Norv out on the field breaking up the pile after the fumble? He knows that this game is slipping away.
Running game has punched at the Bolts' D all day. Softened them up quite a bit. And the D has been very solid, especially with open field tackling.
I still remain very nervous of Rivers in the last 5 minutes.
I thought he was looking for his retainer?
San Diego's inability to run the ball is catching up to them today. The Jets don't give a shit about Tomlinson or Sproles and are defending the Chargers accordingly.
If it were not for the very large thing Z-man mentioned, I'd sure like how the J-e-t-ssss were playing right now...I wonder how much shit Bart Scott is saying to Rivers right now?
Nice throw by Sanchez.
Well I'll be damned...
He should have done the electric slide.
NORV!!!!
Wow. Huge hole opened by the OLine. Terrible tackle by Weddle. Great burst by Greene.
Shake ya little hips. Shake ya little hips.
I think the mock LT finger roll was as good or better a touch than doing the Electric "Slide" (it's Glide on the LT video).
Point to ya mama. Point to ya mama.
Nice fucking kickoff, morons.
Rex trying to prove he can be retarded too.
Kaeding is Rackers, Rackers is Kaeding.
Simms is right. The Jets have Rivers timed.
enjoy the pro bowl, nate
Holy shit. At least try and make it look like you're not throwing the game Kaeding.
My stroke is mad confident.
Norv Turner is on steroids or HGH or something like that. He has that weird chicken skin thing going on around his jawline.
no way that's a catch
They changed the push-out rule, right?
jackson kicked the challenge flag? colossally moronic.
Adissally?
Is that Norv's resume that he's holding?
Holding!!
If it comes down to Ray Finkle to tie this game, I think he might miss his 4th today.
This is totally different from AZ/GB last week but just as fun.
We went out for dessert last night and the kid at the counter greeted us with "I'm Enkel, can I take your order?" I used a ton of restraint and didn't say "I'm Einhorn."
Norv is Bud Kilmer right now. Rivers is making all the play calls.
"Here come the Jets" = CBS kiss of death. Something terrible will happen to the Jets here.
simms is right here - kicking deep was the correct call
Go for it Rex.
I read Rexy's lips and he said "We're going for it" but I'm not sure if the punctuation mark at the end of the sentence was "!" or "?".
69 seconds left.
Fuck.
Yeah.
Sanchez was just compared to Joe Namath and Joe Flacco?
That was a very well practiced "congrats" from Norv.
boomer, like his white-haired friend simms, is exactly right. the onsides kick allowed rex to go for it in that situation.
Kirilenko/Sharipova on the deuce. Brilliant programming.
