the high five.

Live Television At Its Finest
While the Xavier Musketeers defeated the Dayton Flyers this weekend, the biggest story of the game was not the outcome. CBS Sports Network's play-by-play man James Bates was so excited about being a part of this Atlantic 10 rivalry that he broke his stool during the halftime show. I love a broadcaster who gets enthusiastic about a game he is calling, but seriously we are talking about A-10 basketball not the Final Four. >>

Eastbound And Daytona
Danny McBride's face is his money maker and NASCAR fans everywhere this weekend are going to find out why. The star of the HBO series "Eastbound and Down" is sponsoring the No. 50 car of T.J. Bell in Saturday's DRIVE4COPD 300 race at Daytona International Speedway. SB Nation's Jeff Gluck examines how McBride got into the sponsorship business. I am usually opposed to excessive sponsorship, but this story is just too good to be true. What's next, Justin Bieber on the hood of Jimmie Johnson's 48 car? >>

Saving The Season
Losers of seven of their past nine games, the UConn Huskies were fading fast heading into their matchup with Villanova. After calling out his teammates on Saturday, Shabazz Napier kept Connecticut's postseason hopes alive with a ridiculous 30-footer for the win. That shot is hard enough to hit in a game of H-O-R-S-E let alone in a Big East road game. This could be the moment that turns the season around for the defending champs. >>

Fake But Still Cute
The premise of this video is simple: A little girl, a boomerang and a basketball hoop. >>

College Football's Elite Eight
There seems to be great support for a playoff system in college football, but the only problem is nobody can agree on how many teams should be eligible. The Big Lead's Ty Duffy outlines his plan for an eight-team playoff system. I like this plan because not only does it give Cinderellas like Boise State and TCU a chance to compete for the national title, but it also makes the regular season even more important than it already is. >>
