Gossip On Sports - The Latest Dish On and Off the Field

Pink and Purple Starting to Fizzle Out

So much for winning the NCAA tournament pool, Championship of Blogs. North Carolina, our pick to win it all, let us down by tanking against Kansas. (Seriously UNC—84–66? WTF?).
We still have a shot if Memphis wins it all.  
The standings as we head into the championship:
#1 Bears Necessity
#2 Gossip On Sports
#3 The Battle of California
#4 The Sports Lounge
#5 The Play […]

Pink, Purple, and the Final Four

We were ahead in the Championship of Blogs March Madness pool heading into the Sweet Sixteen. We stayed ahead of the pack entering the Elite Eight round.
And we now we march into the Final Four, consisting of all #1 seeds, as the #1 seed ourselves. Not too shabby.
How are the other blogs measuring up in this NCAA tournament pool going into the […]

Pink, Purple, and the Elite Eight

You know that little March Madness blog pool we’re in with five other sports bloggers? We’re happy to announce that the Pink and Purple bloggerette is holding her own as we kick off the Elite Eight round.
At the start of the Sweet Sixteen round, we were tied for first place with Apples and Moustaches. Things […]

The Alarming Trend in March Madness Pools

If this doesn’t make you shake your head, say “Kids today” right after a world-weary sigh, and finish it off with a tsk-tsk, nothing will.
We’re in a March Madness pool with five other bloggers, and that’s all well and good. But what Frank Coffey and the Goodfellas at eTrueSports uncovered pretty near guarantees that you’ll […]

How Sweet It Is to be Ahead in the March Madness Pool

March Madness has been maddening indeed. 
Initially, those first- and second-round upsets had our panties in a twist (which is no mean feat for Victoria’s Secret thongs, we assure you). But then we realized that, um, everyone else expected Duke, Georgetown, and UCONN to make it to the Sweet Sixteen, too.
Thus, we’re happy to brag about the fact report […]

Video: Top 10 March Madness Buzzer Beaters

Given all the early round upsets (don’t worry, we’ll whine more about that later), it seems fitting to post this ESPN clip from of the Top 10 winning-shots-at-the-buzzer moments in NCAA tournament history. The video quality is so-so and the clip is a couple years old, but the intensity is 100% there.
Our favorite? Numero uno because we […]

When March Madness Meets Pink and Purple

The time has come, ladies and gentlemen, to put my fellow March Madness pool bloggers in their respective places. We wanted to play nice, but clearly, these guys prefer trash-talking over patty cake. So let the games begin.
It all started the other day with The Play in CA.  We responded to this and thought, OK, […]

Gators Coach Has a Different Kind of March Madness

Man, you know you’ve screwed up when your coach not only kicks you out of your $12M gym but prohibits you from wearing school colors and logos.
University of Florida men’s basketball coach Billy Donovan is none too happy with his team—the reigning national champs—for not getting a bid in the NCAA tournament. The straw that […]

Talking Smack for March Madness

Here we were, sitting at the Anchor Bar during a weekend jaunt to Buffalo (more on that later), watching Kansas beat Texas, and getting ready for the unveiling of the tournament bracket in preparation for the March Madness blog pool we joined.
And then The Play in CA had to start talking smack.
First, they dissed the pink […]

March Madness for Bloggers

Gossip on Sports has caught March Madness.
This blog and four others are in a little tournament of our own, putting our posts on the line all in the name of NCAA hoops. The Play in California, The Sports Lounge, The Battle in California, Bears Necessity, and GoS will duke it out bracket-style to see who’s […]
