Categories: Baseball, Basketball, Fantasy Sports, Football, Sports, Tale of the Tweets

It’s over. One of the great sports gatherings of the year has come to an end. The winter baseball meetings? No, that happened months ago. The NCAA tournament selection committee? That’s next week. The NFL Draft? Next month. The giant inflatable beavers of Vancouver? Excellent guess, but no. I’m talking about the 2010 MIT Sloan [...]

I am not an NBC apologist. I will not and cannot defend NBC’s truly indefensible choices regarding its reality show coverage of this year’s Winter Olympics.  I’ve been an outspoken proponent of #NBCFail.
