Notre Dame secondary coach Corwin Brown thinks everything went just fine against Navy on Saturday. Instead, Navy coach Ken Niumatalolo's post-game comments, as well as ...

Following his team's devastating 23-21 loss to Navy this weekend, the Round Mound of Clown, Charlie Weis decided it was a great time to throw one of his players under the bus.

It shouldn't be long before local Notre Dame fans are in full torch and pitchfork mode, chasing after the gigantic monster inhabiting the head football coach's office.

Well the much anticipated Final Four is already set. Yep, it's already all mapped out. For the National Invitation Tournament.
Let me guess, you don't care? It's the Not Interested Tournament or the Not Invited Tournament to you. Sure, fine. No really, that's fine.

Way back in '08, we here at Rumors and Rants proclaimed it the Greatest Year in Sports History.
I know what you are thinking -- big deal. So did Sports Illustrated and ESPN and everyone else who makes widespread proclamations. Only we made the call in July. Basically, when something's up, ...
