NCAA Women’s Basketball Tournament 2018: Day 1, Round of 64, Afternoon
Look, the Women’s game is just superior if you care about Basketball at all. Sure UConn is dominant and part of it is that they play from the Tip straight through because of their conditioning but it’s not like they’re bullies in the Paint- this is not Hockey. They rebound with authority at both ends …

What “Yes” Is
Crap. I don’t do “Breaking” and I have more than enough to do to get my Basketball pieces up on time but I happen to be up and this was just on- As they say, the important bit is at the end. “Was she threatened in any way?” “Yes.” “Was she threatened physical harm?” “Yes.” …

2018 Elections: PA – 18 Goes Blue
In Pennsylvania congressional district that was so strongly Republicans in 2016, Democrats didn’t even bother to field a candidate. PA-18 went for Donald Trump 20 points over Hillary Clinton and incumbent Representative Tim Murphy (R) ran unopposed. The nonpartisan Cook Political Report rated the district R+11 due to partisan gerrymandering. Then Murphy had to resign …

NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament 2018: Day 2 Play Ins
As it turns out I have a rooting interest today, though I don’t expect much will come of it. I’m a pretty fair fan of Syracuse because I spent several years working there as a Life Guard and Water Safety Instructor. Never went to see a game live either at Manley or the Dome (or …
