Obama's 'March Madness' Prescience: President Lights It Up With His Picks
By Politics Daily Staff - Politics DailyBarack Obama has always been a high achiever, and he's living up to that standard with his "March Madness" picks. After the first three rounds of the NCAA Tournament, the president ranks in the 99th percentile, according to ESPN.com. Alas, that's down a notch from his standing after the second round ended Friday: He was in the 100th percentile then, tied for 492nd out of 5,923,829 submitted brackets to ESPN. According to the Hill, Obama also leads a tournament pool featuring members of Congress. Based on a point-tallying system designed by Yahoo.com, the president's score of 49 (out of a ...

Charles Barkley, Steve Kerr Join NCAA Tournament Telecast Mix for CBS, Turner
By Milton Kent - AOL NewsWhen news broke in April that CBS and Turner had joined forces to lock up the rights to the NCAA men's basketball tournament for 14 years, one of the first pieces of speculation turned to whether the always volatile Charles Barkley would be added to the announcing mix for one of the more staid telecasts in the business. Not only will Barkley be one of the studio analysts for the tournament in March, but the two entities announced Thursday that NBA analyst Steve Kerr will join Jim Nantz and Clark Kellogg for a three-man booth at the Final Four. CBS Sports President Sean McManus said, during a ...
Sources: IMG Boss Teddy Forstmann Paid Accuser Hush Money
By FanHouse Staff - AOL NewsTeddy Forstmann, CEO of sports management behemoth IMG, paid his chief accuser and alleged middleman on sports bets $575,000 in hush money over the past 18 months, sources told FanHouse's Greg Couch. Jim Agate is suing Forstmann (right) -- Agate's second lawsuit against the IMG head -- alleging the CEO broke a business agreement with Agate's printing business.

Beyond Kansas, a Shadowy World of Tickets, Influence, Cash
By Jon Weinbach - AOL NewsThe plot thickened late last week in the University of Kansas ticket fiasco, as David (right) and Dana Pump -- the twin brothers who run high-profile youth basketball camps in Southern California and have a consulting firm that matches coaches with college athletic departments -- vehemently denied any involvement in a scheme to scalp hundreds of valuable NCAA tickets over the last decade. In a statement on Friday to a cbssports.com columnist, the brothers wrote that they have never been contacted by the university or "any governmental entity" regarding illegal ticket sales and claimed they ...
Teeing Off on Tiger
By Milton Kent - AOL NewsIt wasn't so long ago where seldom was heard a discouraging word about Tiger Woods, on or off the course, as his career and life appeared to be beyond reproach. Well, the events of last Thanksgiving and the revelations since have stripped Woods of that invulnerability for his private life. Now, his game and on-course demeanor are receiving the most serious scrutiny of his career. First, CBS' Jim Nantz sharply criticized Woods for cursing at Augusta National during the third round of April's Masters. Now, Woods is catching serious heat for his decision to pull out of the Players Championship ...
Everybody Gets A Trophy in Over-Bowled College Football World
By Brett McMurphy - AOL NewsWhen the NCAA announced last week that it was recommending the men's basketball tournament expand by only three teams, the heavens parted. Grown men wept. There was dancing in the streets. OK, so I made up the dancing in the streets reference. But there was a genuine "whew!" from hard-core college basketball fans, who didn't want to see a behemoth and bloated 96-team basketball tournament featuring nearly every major college team no matter how mediocre they were. They didn't want the regular season to become meaningless. They didn't want a team that finished one or two spots out of the league ...
Camel Wrestling a Saliva-Soaked Tradition
By David Moye - AOL News(April 7) -- Tiger Woods may be the big thing at the Masters Tournament this week, but in rural parts of Turkey and Afghanistan, many of the locals are still more interested in camels. That's because folks from Kabul to Istanbul are big followers of the ancient sport of camel wrestling, which is as popular as the Masters or the NCAA Final Four are in America. Of course, animal rights supporters find the ancient sport deplorable. Mustafa Najafizada, AP Camels go hump-to-hump in this March 22 event in Mazar-i-Sharif, Balkh province, north of Kabul, Afghanistan. Mostly a winter sport, camel ...
