ESPN's "30 for 30" starts up again on Sunday. So, after you've digested this year's brackets, you need to watch this one. It's "Winning Time", about Reggie Miller and the New York Knicks. And it's from one of my favorite doc directors, Dan Klores.

Klores has done "Crazy Love", a doc on Ezzard Charles "Ring of Fire", and last year's really good ESPN doc on basketball from from small black colleges and universities "Black Magic". Excellent stuff all.

Which death affected you more? Corey Haim or Merlin Olsen?

Pop Culture Spelling Bee! I got 9 of 12, mainly missed crap I did not watch. But I got the last one!

Catching up with Steve Lillywhite. And he is serious about replacing Simon Cowell.

WTF? That was Katherine McPhee on "Community".

Short history of health-care reform. And why the government can't continually punt on the issue.

CBS has given us these announcer pairings for March Madness. Gus is always great in March. I like Spero Dedes (the Lakers announcer), but he's paired with a not-so-good guy. Dick Enberg was subbed out the last few years for two games, is that a comeback?
