The legal system in this country is far from perfect; they don’t always get it right and is wrong quite a bit more than the public would like. But every so often a monumental ruling is passed down that rectifies these wrongs and makes us all once again believe that our judicial system is the best in the world. Yesterday was one of those days.

Earlier this month the NCAA reprimanded USC for various violations, placed them on probation, and banned them from postseason play for two years. The NCAA will also be stripping them of their records from 2004-2005, including their National Championship. Likewise, former Trojan running back Reggie Bush will have to relinquish his 2005 Heisman Trophy. So what’s wrong with all of this? Take a look-see.

Sometimes girls can get a little out of hand in the field of play. Here are some of the best, or should I say craziest, moments from girls athletics. Cyndi Lauper was right: girls do just wanna have fun.

Once in a while an idea, website, or resource comes along that can revolutionize a sports fan’s experience, and it must be shared with whoever will listen. As a fellow sports fan who has made one too many purchases on outrageous cable packages to watch my teams play, I feel it is my duty to call to your attention an easy and affordable solution.

The National Championship game between Duke and Butler was one of the best in recent memory. It was an instant classic that would have only been better had Gordon Hayward drained his last-second heave. Or if a certain someone had been there to make the call.

Normally I would write a little preamble to my picks and go over the preceding events to this point. However, after a long conference call between your beloved 27pitches management, which should bring our loyal followers much joy in the coming months, I am running out of time. But since it would be a fatal mistake to leave my readers without a pick prior to tonight’s National Championship battle between Duke and Butler, I am going to hit you off with a quick prediction of tonight’s game.

So, how’s your bracket looking? I’m assuming that if you’re like me, and the other 307 million people in the United States, that you were basically eliminated from your office pool right around the Sweet 16, or if you were lucky you had hope right until Kentucky was immobilized by the stingy Mountaineers from West Virginia. Then again, if you happen to subscribe to the front-running, band-wagon, Antichrist method of thinking and sided with the Devil, then you are still kicking and probably have secured the pot and bragging rights that come with winning your pool amongst colleagues, regardless of the price you sold your soul for. (Yes, Duke is the equivalent of the Devil they are named after, and let Coach K come after me like he attacked the Indianapolis Star. I, unlike them, would vehemently refuse to retract my stance, just like good journalists are never supposed to.)

Well it just doesn’t stop now does it? After a few consecutive years of mostly chalk tournaments (with even the first Final Four populated by all one seeds in 2008), with the traditional powerhouse programs ruling the tournament and giving little credence to the efforts of the underdogs, this year the bracket was turned upside down, sideways and distorted in more ways than Heidi Montag.

Sweet 16s are wonderful, but they don’t last forever, and oftentimes they aren’t all they were cracked up to be. Just ask Samantha Baker. Hell, nobody even remembered her Sweet 16 even though it totally encompassed her. The same can be said about the 16 teams remaining in the NCAA tournament.
