  • Pat Bowlen • Broncos owner, on their franchise player, quarterback Jay Cutler, who they (especially coach Josh McDaniels) treated like crud, tried to untreat like crud and now will have to trade because he no longer wants to play for them. *forehead slap* Good job, guys. • source

Sports: Thanks U. of Kentucky, you made Memphis really sad. :(

  • John Calipari, a man torn by opportunity. The coach of the perennially-hot Memphis decided to leave for the bluegrass of Kentucky. It was a heart-wrenching decision for both Memphis, which has soared to great heights under Calipari’s helm, and Calipari himself, who will be coaching an iconic college basketball team that’s fallen on hard times. Memphis students and fans begged Calipari not to do it, but it was too late. Peace, brotha. source

Sports: Oh, and Michigan State did its alumni proud today

  • Yay home team! Rah! Rah! The No. 2 Spartans toppled No. 1 Louisville to get to the Final Four. They totally ruined our bracket, but we couldn’t think of a better team to ruin our bracket. (Note to fans of ShortFormBlog: We went to Michigan State University, graduated from its journalism program and hold a strong affinity for the school, Panchero’s burritos, Gumby’s Pizza, McDonel Hall and Tom Izzo. In fact, we think Izzo is the Midwestern Coach K that you can’t find a good reason to hate, so you love him. That is all.) source
