With the 2009 Final Four upon us, I thought I would take the time to rank the Top 11 Championship Games in the last 30 years. Why 11? Ask Nigel Tufnel.11. 2003 - Syracuse 81, Kansas 78Sixteen years after Keith Smart’s jumper beat Syracuse in the Superdome, Jim Boeheim finally got off the schneid and came away from New Orleans with his first national title.

Wow. That was an amazing Elite-8 game between Villanova and Pittsburgh tonight, with an equally exciting finish. By the time you read this, you may have already read one writer or another comparing this game to the Duke-Kentucky game of 1994. A fair comparison? Maybe, but probably not. There were some outstanding performances in tonight's game that goes beyond the all-out hustle by everyone on

Given that the Steelers are the World Champions of football they have earned the right to play their first game in prime time before a national audience. There will be pomp and circumstance with the presenting of the rings, additions to the Steelers Hall of Fame at Heinz Field and heeps of praise for what is the greatest francise in the NFL.Unsurprisingly, the Baltimore Ravens don't want any

Sweet Jesus, have you seen Carlos Baerga on Baseball Tonight yet? He's more orange than Syracuse's home unis and more waxed than Madame Tussaud. He looks like he just stepped off Sunset Tan. Seriously, he looks like a Muppet. In other news, there are two commercials I love right now. Well, three if you count the new Jack in the Box campaign. The first is Dustin Pedroia getting repeatedly insulted

Just some quick thoughts before I get into the meat of today's post …… if you haven't yet clicked on the songs on the right side of the page, do yourself a favor and do so now while reading. I highly recommend "Grounds for Divorce" by Elbow. It's a toast to a dead friend known as the "seldom-seen kid," but there's nothing sad about this one; it's a tight, grinding, drinking song with great lyrics

Some random thoughts from Day 4 of the ACC basketball tournament in Atlanta ...• Either the Atlanta Hawks or the NBA needs to get their heads out of their ass. The ACC Championship game was scheduled for a 1pm tipoff at the Georgia Dome. It just so happened that the Hawks had a game against the Portland Trail Blazers at the exact same time right next door. Why would they have not moved this

Some random thoughts from Day 3 of the ACC basketball tournament in Atlanta ...• Today started out with the Atlanta St. Patrick's Day Parade...I don't know if it was the weather (40 degrees and rainy) or the lack of Irish descendants in the Atlanta area, but it's the first time I can honestly say I saw more people in a parade than those watching it.

Some random thoughts from Day 2 of the ACC basketball tournament in Atlanta...• North Carolina, Florida State, and Duke all had to come back in the last minute of their games today to advance to the semi-finals. That means all three are still alive to be the NCAA champion in 3 weeks. Why? Because no team has ever been bounced from the conference tournament in their first round of play and gone

Some random thoughts from Day 1 of the ACC basketball tournament in Atlanta...• Does anyone really want to see any seed higher than a #8 in ANY conference basketball tournament? This would limit all tournaments to 3 days and actually make things interesting in the regular season to make the top 8 (especially in big-numbered conferences like the Big East and Big 12). That was evident here in

Lisa Hannigan – “I Don’t Know”You may know Hannigan and her haunting voice from her collaboration with Damien Rice on his breakthrough debut album. Where Rice’s compositions usually explore the dark, sparse, lonely corners…this song off of Hannigan’s debut solo album Sea Sew is light and bouncy.Musically, the song is driven by a small string section, a trumpet, and brushed drums.

With the NFL Combine in full swing this week, hundreds of prospective NFL draftees are taking the Wonderlic Test as a measure of their intellectual capacity. You can see an example of the Wonderlic here on ESPN’s page 2.There is only one problem with the Wonderlic test … it does not properly test for the real-life football intelligence required of NFL players. Therefore, DSB now presents the new

The NFL has a "Terrible" idea for a Towel. As a Steeler fan and having loved and missed Myron Cope, this just pissed me off. The NFL would never have tried this if Cope was alive. LDT is doubtful for Sunday's game against the Steelers... way to cement that legacy of coming up short at the end of the season.

Betting on the last week of the NFL season is completely insane. You have no idea which players are going to play and which will be watching from the sidelines in an extremely oversized coat.

First a quick look at the NFL Rookies that I can think of off the top of my head…If I forgot an import Rookie contributing right now just know that it took me 20 minutes to put this together... I am not doing serious research today.  Matt Ryan (Falcons) – Atlanta’s Mark Bradley wrote an article Monday calling Ryan the best rookie QB ever. Have we forgotten about Big Ben and his 13-0

It seems like at any point in the day you can find a rerun of CSI, CSI: Miami, or CSI: NY on Spike or A&E. After watching each of these incarnations, I have one simple question...where are all the hot chicks? Sure they bring in the occasional hottie for each individual episode, but have you noticed the series regulars look like your average housewife. I watch TV to escape my everyday life...not

After much anticipation, a new sports bar has planted its flag on the West Shore at the site of the former Dorado in Camp Hill. Arooga's15 opened on Wednesday to the delight of many who have been clamoring for a quality sports bar on the west side of the river, and the Arooga's team has thrown down the gauntlet. Let this be the GOLD STANDARD of midstate sports bars. At a business lunch today, the

Field of Feces Betcha didn't know that former Major League centerfielder Brett Butler (not to be confused with this Brett Butler) wrote a book. No, really! In 1997 Butler expelled the autobiographical Field of Hope, presumably from his bowels. Well, "wrote" is a strong word to use when the book in question is a collaboration with prolific author Jerry B. Jenkins, but I digress. The point is that

Before we get to the links a quick note about tonight’s Steelers vs. Bengals game ... Cincy is currently 1-8-1 after nine games. 1-8-1 should be a sexual position ... kind of like finger-cuffs. Couple that with the fact that 11 Bungles are inactive for tonight’s game (Ocho-Stinko being one of them for violating an undisclosed team rule), and I think the Steelers are going to go 1-8-1 on the

Earlier this week I heaped tons of praise on Anne Hathaway. It was her birthday and frankly I am a little more than smitten with her. She is great. While I was wrestling with the idea of adding pictures from either of her best scenes (i.e. Havoc or Brokeback Mountain; they are great scenes). I was wondering once again why don't we have any decent pictures of Alessandra Ambrosio? You know

Amanda Palmer - Who Killed Amanda Palmer?Palmer (the female half of the Dresden Dolls) has accomplished something striking on her first solo disc. She has married the punk cabaret sound of the Dolls to the more mainstream sound of producer Ben Folds. The results are remarkable.At a time when female singer-songwriters who play piano are getting airplay (think Sara Bareilles, Ingrid Michaelson),

Today's beer review is for Murphy's Irish Stout... I have been a long time fan of Murphy's. Guinness is my favorite mainstream beer and Stouts are my favorite variety of beer so naturally I am a big fan of Irish Dry Stouts and Murphy's is an excellent example. This beer today was sampled from a 16 oz. widget can poured into a fat pint glass. It pours just like a Guinness with the beautiful

For all you Penn State fans out there. Just keep this in mind regarding Saturday's extremely painful loss to Iowa. Pitt beat Iowa earlier this year. God that felt good to write that... I could go for a smoke.Now on to the rest of today's post...In the I can't believe this is not bigger news department... ABC dumped the Phoenix NASCAR Race to ESPN2 with 34 minutes left in the race.

Please Don't Forget to Recycle!Twice this past week I happened to catch Rome is Burning, and I can't say that I completely hate Jim Rome's narcissistic self-reacharounds. It's actually fun sometimes. Hey, we can all agree that our little Jimmy is clearly a C-list celeb in the ESPN pecking-order, as evidenced by a few of his guests this week, but I think we can also agree that he is either a.)

Tonight is one of those nights that remind me I’m getting older…tonight is my 20th High School Class Reunion. But I won't be hearing Green Day's "Time of Your Life" over a montage of old photos.I haven’t attended any of the previous reunions and I have no intention of going tonight or ever. For the rest of my life I will ignore the mailings and phone calls every five years. That’s actually not

Here at Daddy’s Sugar Ball we take our football very seriously … so at the mid-point of the NFL season I wanted to take a few moments to share some rambling thoughts with our readership.Coach of the YearWith the resurgence of many bottom-feeders from a year ago, the list of viable winners is pretty long. John Harbaugh (Baltimore) and Tony Sparano (Miami) just missed my top five, but both deserve

As I pointed out in my Steelers vs. Redskins Running Diary I recently sampled Breckenridge Oatmeal Stout. My review of this fine beer appears today with what I hope to be two parts of my regular contributions. Links and Beer Reviews. First the beer:I got this fine brew in standard brown 12 oz. bottles. It poured into the glass smoothly like a stout should; pitch black with a lightly tan head.

First of all ... welcome to Daddy's Sugar Ball! I hope you enjoy your time here and please let us know what you think in the comments.Secondly, I am working on a mid-season review of the NFL season (which will be posted later in the week) but I wanted to share my thoughts today on a topic that I think could become pretty huge.By the end of the NFL year, it is quite possible that there will be 13

8:29 Welcome to the Steelers vs. Redskins running diary. Tonight's official beer is Breckenbridge Oatmeal Stout. This is an excellent beer. If you like oatmeal stouts then you can not go wrong with this one. As a preveiw to the game, I am going to say that Dick LeBeau (future hall of famer) and his defense will be the game-changing factor tonight and I am predicting a 20-16 win for the Steelers.

Welcome to Daddy’s Sugar Ball. Here at this site the contributing editors (Cap, Max Power and Bearcat) will be taking turns lampooning, attacking, discussing and showing anything but indifference to all the important stuff in a man’s life. Expect the general trend of the site to be irreverent posts about Sports, Beer, Hot Chicks, Music, Movies and TV. Pretty much nothing is out of bounds. When it
