| rantnrave:// The HULK HOGAN vs. GAWKER case was generally framed as a fight between the right to privacy and freedom of the press. That's one way of looking at. The polite way. But you could also frame it as a fight between a public figure's right to control all public discussion about him and a big media company's right to post anything they want about him, no matter what it is and no matter the consquences. Who do you choose in that fight? Where do our freedoms start and end? Where does our decency start and end? Is any of this real or was it all staged?... And what does it mean for GAWKER's DEADSPIN?... RAYMOND MOORE, the CEO of INDIAN WELLS, actually said this. I wonder sometimes if men should ever be allowed to speak in public... Not only does the ACC have a record six teams in the men's Sweet Sixteen, but no two of them are playing each other. With an upset here or there, it's not out of the question the league could wind up with six teams in the Elite Eight. Though at the very least, I say GONZAGA takes down SYRACUSE. Which is the first and last NCAA prediction I will make this year... NORTHERN IOWA oh no... Baseball dad ADAM LAROCHE in his own words. Baseball dad ADAM LAROCHE publicly yelled at by ex-MLBer-turned-pundit DICK HAYHURST. It was, in the end, a complicated situation... What does it mean to suspend a NASCAR crew chief in the age of FACETIME and OOVOO?... MINNESOTA wins NCAA women's hockey title... Snappy answers to stupid questions... RIP TRAY WALKER. | | | - Matty Karas, curator |

| For a decade, Burundi was home to a unique phenomenon: group jogs involving thousands of people who hit the streets to sing, socialize, and sometimes protest the nation's authoritarian president, Pierre Nkurunziza. In March 2014, he banned the activity. And now runners have become both weapons and victims. | | |

| Ryan McMahon will never forget the first time he saw Raimel Tapia hit. It was 2013, rookie ball in the Colorado Rockies organization, and McMahon, then an 18-year-old third baseman, watched from the dugout as Tapia, a 19-year-old outfielder, stepped to the plate. The swing was quirky, but not in a bad way. | | |
