So, an era ends. A.J.’s off to the NBA Europe. In economics classes, you spend a lot of pointless hours of your life talking about and trying to draw potential Pareto improvements, like some Old Testament prophet where you squint as some angles and Edgeworth boxes and then announce with vigor, “…everybody’s better off?” Well, [...]
Murray St. is a sexy pick. I know this. Exactly the kind of sexy pick that would fool President Obama: I would say this was the straw that broke the camel’s back but that camel has looked like Ali Larter at the end of Obsessed since last February. You can catch a great pre-game for [...]
News you can use, clearly: A.J. Ogilvy’s growing back the mustache that gave us so much success in January. If you forgot, it looks like this: I feel good about this.
Like they knew I was getting ready to blog about them, I have seen three basketball players in the past half hour. Anyway, David Rutz wrote a column for media relations, and I think we should discuss: A quick look at Vanderbilt’s offensive stats indicates the Commodores should have been blown out of the building.

Vandy Athletics usually require a healthy gulp of cynicism to deal with, but here’s the deal: I think we can beat Kentucky today. Now, I covered the game in Lexington. Off an excellent trip to Knoxville, I thought we might win at Rupp, too. We got in there and everything was fine. A lot of [...]
Volunteer fans know the road to hell starts in the University of Tennessee Athletic Department. Over the last several months, their once proud football program has seen three coaches, three arrests for armed robbery, and continuing struggles on the field. On the hardwood, Tennessee’s men’s basketball team recently suffered four arrests and suspensions of their [...]
In about an hour, the former Hustler sports editor and I will be rolling on over to Knoxville to cover tonight’s basketball game against the Volunteers. With Kentucky’s loss last night, Vandy’s atop the SEC and the only SEC unbeaten left. Questions abound: Will we play like hell was like “Eh, no” and threw back [...]
Good ol’ Dierks Bentley reference. This morning’s links are heavy on the sports, but you’ll get your politics in there, don’t you worry. From ESPN.com, the Tar Heels beat Michigan State pretty handily in last night’s championship game, but no one really cares since everyone’s brackets are already ruined, and baseball and the Masters are [...]
Philosophy of the Internet age? Hope you were all sufficiently April fooled yesterday. Now we have to get back to the other boring 364 days of the year, when mean, cold-hearted pranks aren’t acceptable. Still, aren’t you a little worried one of my links might be a Rick Roll? Nashville liberal blogger Ilissa Gold sounds [...]
Another day, another dollar. That phrase takes on an entirely different meaning when you are an unemployed college student. David Rutz at InsideVandy.com has the story on Vanderbilt women’s basketball defeating No. 5 Kansas State yesterday. Over at the Weekly Standard, Stephen F. Hayes can’t get access to a government report on released Gitmo prisoners [...]
