Reggie Miller is proof that Hall of Fame players need not know much about the game. Miss a free throw on purpose with a 3-point lead? How many jaws were injured after dropping over that clueless comment? NBA on TNT

'One Shiming Moment' once was a tradition whereby the entire NCAA finals TV audience would watch the wonderful wrapup to the season. Now, with it starting near midnight, at least a third of the audience is gone night-night. NCAA March Madness

Assumed my last season's Notre Dame High JV team that went 26-2 would never be surpassed. Well, it took one year. These guys completed a 27-1 season today. Love 'em.

New England Patriots wide receiver Kayshon Boutte allegedly made 8,900 wagers in a little over a year while at LSU. How did he have time to attend classes -- unless they were all How To Bet Sports 101? @kayshonboutte

Every teen needs a book to read during the holidays. Here's a last-minute idea -- just like the last-minute baskets in the games -- for hoops lovers. Even fits in a stocking! (Readers, please post a review on Amazon.) amazon.com/Perfect-Fault-…

The Army-Navy finish was TOTAL-ly awesome. (Final score: 17-11 on intentional safety on last snap. Total: 27.5) Army-Navy Game

Wondering if Michigan's team will fold up on the field like its athletics and legal departments did with the Big Ten punishment. @jimharbaugh @michiganwolverines
