JIM HARBAUGH OFF THE TOP ROPE/Tweet of the Day

If you don’t follow Jim Harbaugh on Twitter, or don’t use Twitter at all, let me provide some back story here. Jim Harbaugh has become king of the college football offseason and specializes in ruffling the feathers of each and every person, team or conference that dares step up to him. Earlier today, Ohio State AD Gene Smith delivered a quote that may have been, but probably wasn’t a shot at Harbaugh and his spring break practices in Florida, essentially saying that his program doesn’t need to think of creative ways to jumpstart itself, because, you know, that national title two years ago. Well, not being one to let a thing like this go, Jim Harbaugh fired back. And it’s our tweet of the day.

Jim Harbaugh is a message-board poster who also happens to be amazing at coaching football.

Americana invades Cuba

President Obama, Derek Jeter and the Tampa Bay Rays were all in Cuba yesterday to watch and play an exhibition baseball game. The results don’t matter much here, but by all accounts it was a pretty surreal spectacle. We can only hope this eventually leads to progress for the Cuban people. Anyway, here’s a neat photo gallery of the day.

NHL Scoreboard

We’re trying something new here. And while these scoreboards are pretty rudimentary looking now, our goal is to get a better way to get you scores from all the major sporting events very soon.

Tampa Bay 6	Detroit 2
Columbus 3	Philadelphia 2 (S/O)
Buffalo 3	Carolina 2
Washington 4	Ottawa 2
Montreal 4	Anaheim 3
Dallas 6	Chicago 2
Arizona 4	Edmonton 2
Los Angeles 1	Minnesota 2
St. Louis 1	San Jose 0
Vancouver 0	Winnipeg 2

• The Dallas Stars became the third NHL team to clinch a playoff spot with their win over Chicago.
• Philadelphia jumped Detroit for the eighth and final playoff spot in the East with their shootout loss. The Flyers still hold a game in hand over Detroit.
• Minnesota jumped Colorado for the 8th spot in the West with their win over LA. The Wild are up a single point, but the Avalanche do have a game in hand.

NBA Scoreboard

Miami 113	New Orleans 99
Charlotte 105	Brooklyn 100
Houston 107	Oklahoma City 111
Memphis 100	LA Lakers 107

• Honestly, there weren’t many items of note in the NBA.
