Week #10: March Sadness

In California March Madness is really...March Sadness. The only Californian team that is still in is UCLA. UC Davis made it in but was quickly eliminated. USC and Saint Mary's both fell in the second round. Cal and Stanford didn't even make it in. At best we can root for…

Week #9: The jersey returns

And so it has been found. Tom Brady's jersey was in Mexico the whole time, stolen by a member of the press. And while it's great news for Brady, sports memorabilia fans, and the FBI, it doesn't look good for journalists. Journalists are given a lot of access to players,…
