Love the Red Sox but how do you turn $75 face value Sox/Yankee tickets into mint?
Charge $800 to take a tour, get a cheap meal and an even cheaper bag and call it a "RED SOX DESTINATION" package. Yes, you get ONE ticket to 3 different Sox/Yankee. But for $75, those have to be nose bleed seats at Fenway Park where even mediocre seats go for over $120.

I love the magazine Consumer Reports, but I've already recieved TWO renewal notices and my subscription doesn't expire until August. Please LEAVE ME ALONE!

We need to do away with "Sexual Assault." Really. What is that? Ben Roethlisberger is accused of "Sexually assaulting or sexually manipulating" a 20 year old girl. What the hell is that?
Did have sex with her or did he flirt a little too much? "Sexual assault" is way too vague.

Kiss of Death for Kansas St.
They gave head BB coach Frank Martin a 3 year extension. I HATE when schools/teams do that. It just sucks the fire out of the head coach. Watch one of my cinderella Final 4 teams goes down the tubes from here on out.

Bubble teams rejoice as Butler, Siena, & Northern Iowa all win their respective conference tournaents. All would have likely gotten At-large bids had they not. Only Gonzaga was a loser. But champ St. Mary's would have more than likey received an at large bid anywya.
This leaves more at large bids for the bigger conferences.

We all feel bad about what happened in Haiti...
But if you want to know how life in Haiti has really been like over the years, read the last article in this week's Sports Illustrated.
