It has long been the stereotypical view that academia and athleticism don't mix. Like oil and water or Kanye and Techno (see "Yeezus"), scholars and jocks have rarely blended well. And yesterday night, this was on full display once more. I don't want to spoil the video for you, so I won't tell you the priceless answer that this Jeopardy contestant gave to the question “100 plus assists i

According to reports, the Knicks could strongly be considering adding another veteran guard to their organization, only this one would be wearing a suit.

The death of Ralph Wilson at 95 years of age doesn't come as a surprise to the football community, but the news has still been received with very heavy hearts. The former Buffalo Bills owner was one of the pioneers of the National Football League ever since he bought the franchise for $25 thousand in 1959.

Ohio State has fallen to Dayton. Duke has lost to Mercer. I think its safe to say that March Madness is officially in full effect. Earlier today Coach Jimmy Patsos of the Siena Saints joined Joe & Brix to share some of his thoughts and insight on the tournament so far. Patsos weighed in on the Blue Devil upset, his live and up close viewing of the first round in Buffalo and the competitive per

We've been hearing about it for months, waiting for the day to arrive. It was supposed to be the impetus for change, the keystone moment for the New York Knicks franchise. No, I'm not talking about the debut of Phil Jackson, I'm talking about the well publicized fan protest held outside MSG yesterday. And lets just say it didn't go too well. Check out this video of the couple dozen die-hards who c

UAlbany senior guard DJ Evans picked one heck of a time to have a career night. Led by Evan's 22 points and 9 rebounds, the Great Danes knocked off Mount St. Mary's 71-64 on Tuesday night to notch the first NCAA Tournament in program history. Now, its off to Orlando to take on the top ranked team in the Dance, the Florida Gators. Will Brown, the head coach of the Danes joined Joe and Brix today to

It's official: Phil Jackson is the new President in charge of basketball operations for the New York Knicks. The question now is, can he deliver? After being formally announced at a press conference earlier today, the 11-time NBA Champion has his hands full with questions to answer and moves to make. His coach is a lame duck for all intents and purposes, his Super Star is planning to opt out and h

Following their win, head coach Will Brown joined Joe & Brix to talk about his team’s impressive run and their upcoming battle against Mount St. M

  The mystery of Masahiro Tanaka has been one of the biggest storylines of the Yankees 20014 offseason. The Bombers' new $155 million man went 24-0 in the Japanese league last year, but his “stuff” has largely been clouded in mystery. We know that Tanaka’s best pitch is his splitter, but its effectiveness at the major league level has been widely speculated about. That’s why Joe & Brix on 104.

Despite the fact that they were hosting the first weekend of the America East tournament, very few expected UAlbany to make it out of the first two rounds alive. But, after housing UMBC by 30, and then upsetting the powerhouse Vermont Catamounts 67-58, the Danes once again find themselves on the verge of an NCAA tournament bid. Earlier today on Joe & Brix, head coach Will Brown joined the prog
