Quick, bonus points for whoever can tell me who won the game that is pictured here. You're prize, a years membership to the Daily Forecast.Anyway, my house is about to be invaded by girls women, so I feel this is necessary to keep my attention on the game, and not their mundane conversations.You'll notice that I've done away with the timestamps in this, because fuck that.- I've joined the game

I fully expected to be writing a National Title game post on April 7, seeing that the big game is tonight (I'm taking Memphis, because I don't see anyone stopping Derrick Rose).But I was also expecting the Tigers to be 4-2 or 5-1 or even 6-0. Not so much 0-6.I'm still not sure what to think about it. I mean, I know it's bad. I know it's really bad. But let's be completely honest, how many people

Oh man, I'm so nervous. Why?Because this girl is smoking hot and I haven't been on a date in years.I think I'm going to go with the red tie and the red highlighter for this one. Why?Because red is the color of passion, and that's what Digger is going to bring to this date, passion.Or maybe I should go green and green. Why?Because it shows that I'm loose and like to have fun.

So I took a look at Pat Forde's column this morning about Davidson's win against Wisconsin, and Stephen Curry.It was a good column, nothing spectacular, but solid. Bottom line was, when I finished reading it, I had immediately moved on, as I thought there was nothing controversial involved.Then I read the comments. Apparently Wisconsin fans were not happy about Forde's swipe at the Badgers, who

Not that I'm the best person to be picking these games, considering I'm sitting in dead last in one pool, and second to last in another, but that's not going to stop me today.We're down to 16 teams in the NCAA tournament, and at this point, people like to refer to the tourney as "sweet."That's all well and fine, but here's who's going to win.WestXavier over West Virginia, unless Huggins wears the

Sorry about the break, ya know, during the opening weekend of the NCAA tournament, but I just was really fucking lazy extremely fucking lazy.In fact, I just got distracted for 15 minutes after I put up that picture of Stephen Curry.I have blogger ADD, which is a very serious disease.Anyway, a lot of shit happened since I've last written, the biggie being the NCAA tournament.

This past weekend may have been the greatest weekend of my life. On Thursday my 3PM class got canceled, so I was on my couch literally from 12-12 watching basketball with a small break to play some basketball outside before the freak snow storm hit the area on Friday. But not to be outdone I watched a shitload of ball for the whole weekend and I learned a lot about this tournament and the teams

So the two-time defending national champions aren't going to make the NCAA Tournament?Is it really that big of a surprise, especially when you strip the "two-time defending national champions" part away from Florida? Did anyone expect Florida, without the players that it graduated, to make a serious dent this year in anything? I mean, can you even name the player in this photo? I can't, and I'm

This is kind of weird to say, but I'm ready to come out of the blogger closet.In light of the staff at Fire Joe Morgan revealing their identity, and The Big Lead following suit not long after, it's time that The Daily Forecast stops hiding behind this cloak of anonymity and reveals our true identities.I (The Costanzo) am actually Paul Costanzo.

Spring training has begun and fantasy baseball players worldwide are counting down the days until their draft. But here is an early prediciton of exactly how the season will play out and who will be holding the trophy come November.AL East1. Boston Red Sox - To be the best they say you need to beat the best.

So, as the season goes on and I pay more attention to the Notre Dame basketball team (I actually watched the Yahoo! gametracker for the last 5 minutes of the closer-than-it-should-have-been DePaul game), I'm becoming more enamored with Luke Harangody.I am no basketball expert (still not sure why I haven't passed this series off on Matt or a guest yet, but whatever), but I'm a pretty big believer

Um yea, sorry about this week.The thing is, when Your Boy Matt is gone on vacation, it not only leaves me with one less blogger, but it also shortens our staff at real work by one, making things busier during district boys basketball.So I haven't had much time.Should be back to normal next week.

As many of you may have noticed from the recent timestamps on these posts, I'm having trouble sleeping.I'm not sure what is leading to my insomnia, as I'm not stressed, I have nothing hanging over my head at work, and I generally stay away from caffeine. The wife says it's because I sleep in until noon. But what does she know.Anyway, tonight, I've decided to grab a cup of Sleepy Time tea and

OK, I wanted to make this aesthetically pleasing with a picture of Ben Wallace. You all know how I like to make everything professional around here, so I'm very disappointed that blogger is fucking me.I am not disappointed, however, in the latest trade which involved 11 players, and is apparently a blockbuster.Sorry folks, but with the recent events in the NBA, this trade rates as about a 2 out

No question here, and I won't accept any arguments, Tennessee is wildly overrated at No. 2 in the latest coaches poll.Seriously, take a look at the Vols schedule, now name me one of those wins outside of Xavier that means much of anything. Got one? Didn't think so.Sure, Gonzaga on the road is a decent win, but not as special this year as it has been in the past. And I'm even skeptical of the

One of those things is the weekly Sweet 16 breakdown, where I take Joe Lunardi's Bracketology and pick the Sweet 16.This first version should be fun, because I know a decent amount about like four teams, and the rest I don't know much about.

Because that's what I watched this weekend, and it was more entertaining than most anything the world of sports had to offer this week.But because this is a "sports blog" I'll give you a quick rundown of the weekend events: Adrian Peterson went ballistic in the Pro Bowl and the NFC proved it could win a

I don't know how many friends do things like tape a phone conversation when one of them is clearly vulnerable, then play them back for the entire world to hear.I guess it would be the same people involved with a friendship where you save evidence of the other's illicit drug use for the better part of a decade.Maybe they just need to do a better job choosing friends?

Really?No more Johan Santana in the division?Not even in the league?Could it get any better than that?Truthfully, outside of him getting traded to the Tigers for Brandon Inge and a souvenir bat, no, it couldn't.Johan has been the best pitcher in the majors for the past few years, and with Francisco Liriano coming back healthy, the Twins would have been at least something to pay attention to, if

Stretching is so good, for everyone involved.Anyway, we got through the weekend sans football OK, but it took a little help.

Welcome to the abyss, ladies and gentlemen.There's just one meaningful football game left (granted, it's the really big one), then we wait. And wait. And wait.Sure, signing day (Feb. 6) will be fun, and so will the NFL Draft. But there's no actual football there. Hell, virtual football won't even come back to us until mid-July when EA Sports releases NCAA Football '09, with Madden to follow in

I wanted to put together a little midseason report on the Pistons, and found a great news peg today when Rob Parker informed Detroit News readers that the Pistons should go bring Chris Webber back into the fold. Now, we all know Parker is probably the worst major sports columnist in America, but this idea seems particularly idiotic. As we saw last year, Webber has decent offensive skills and can

Junior Seau was pretty excited after the Patriots win about the chance to be a part of "ever."Not sure what "ever" is, but my guess is that he meant being remembered forever, or being one of the best teams ever because there's a chance to go 19-0.Sweet.Either way, it was a lame attempt at being dramatic that made Seau sound like a 40-year old linebacker who's been taking shots to the head for

Picked up the Macomb Daily today and saw this headline on the frontpage of the sports section: "WVU continues to delve into missing documents".As the self-proclaimed most neutral Michigan football observer, but yet still avid follower, in the world, I have to say this: The criticism I've heard so far on Rodriguez has been much ado about nothing.This shredding thing, to me, means almost nothing.

Actually, it's Ohio State, but that headline isn't as catchy.In my neverending quest to make Michigan fans uneasy, I'd like to point out that three of four Rivals.com "experts" say Terrelle Pryor is going to choose Ohio State.For those that don't know Pryor:They say he's like Vince Young, but a bit farther along in his development.

What does this post have to do with math? Absolutely nothing. But when you type division into a Google image search, you get this.I actually despise math ... a lot.So really, I'm hating myself for this post....Almost as much as I hated myself for last week's picks, in which I went 1-3 straight up and (after further review) 2-2 against the spread. It's incredibly disappointing after going 10-1

Best idea you've ever had Petey!Seriously, this year was just an abberation for the Falcons. Pay no attention to the fact that Joey Harrington is currently the best quarterback on your roster or that the players nearly had a coup to overthrow Bobby Petrino.

Dear Big Ten fans, alumni, viewers of the Big Ten network and fellow clansmen,I am proud to say that the Big Ten recently wrapped up another successful season on the gridiron and in the classroom.

From the "this is too good to be true" department, Jim Delaney, commissioner of the same conference that has boasted Ohio State as its champion the past two years, has questioned the academic integrity of the SEC.Now, look, I'm not here to say the SEC and MENSA are interchangeable, but for Delaney to make such a sweeping statement is, well, stupid.We all knew Delaney was a bit off his rocker (Big

First off, I can't emphasize enough how little I cared about the Orange Bowl last night (and I hear many empty seats as well -- another good sign for those of us who yearn for a playoff?).That's the thing about the BCS these days, there's always that one game that is just terrible.I'll normally watch the Rose Bowl and I'm a sucker for that Hawaii/Boise State underdog game as well.

So this may be a little late, but what an ass-whooping that was that West Virginia put on Oklahoma.The Sooners offense was brutal until they were already down three scores, and the defense was brutal for most of the last three quarters.Oklahoma had no answer for Pat White, Noel Devine, and surprisingly, the West Virginia receivers.

I was pretty sure that Georgia would butt-rape (New Years resolution: Use the butt-rape tag on every post) Hawaii last night, but I had no idea June Jones would bleed that much.Now obviously, Hawaii should not be a true measure of how good a national title contender is, because despite its undefeated record coming in, Hawaii is a fringe top 25 team.

As it turns out, Mark May was being generous.Notorious for his Notre Dame bashing, the former Pitt offensive lineman and current ESPN analyst, said before the season that Notre Dame would be 1-7 or maybe 0-8 to start the season.May was wrong. With this current Irish team, 0-8 would be a blessing, because 0-10 looks more realistic.Never, ever, have I seen a team more inept than this squad.

Well, Michael Vick pleaded guilty, he is set for sentencing in December and is likely to head to jail between one or two years. Following his plea, he made a public statement to the media to finally bite the bullet. In his plea, Michael admitted his wrong-doing and apologize to all thos affected. Included in that group is Arthur Blank, his Falcons' teammates, his fans, and family. While I don't

He'll now plead guilty to the dogfighting charges and leave himself at the mercy of a judge.This is a sad tale, because of what Vick was, what he could have been, and most importantly, because of the savage acts he committed.It's a shame that it got made into a race issue,

I am sorry to my fellow bloggers that keep this site up for not having posted anything in weeks. I suck.However, I do have some thoughts to note on the upcoming NFL Season.NFC Super Bowl Sleeper: I think if you look at the St. Louis Rams and their loaded offense, they can be a very scary team. While their coaching staff is not the greatest, they have that Minnesota Vikings feel of 1998 to them,
