There’s a good chance you know who Jack Blankenship is by now. Maybe you don’t know him by that name – you might know him as just “Alabama face guy.” You know, this one. Well, since that initial brush with fame, he’s blown up – culminating with an appearance on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon last night.

At… least he got a knockout, we guess? [Outside the Box Score]

In case you missed it, the Seton Hall men’s basketball team upset the No. 9 Georgetown Hoyas tonight, 73-55. Yikes. It wasn’t even close, as the Pirates pulled ahead early and never looked back. Naturally, the Seton Hall fans believed that it was in their right to storm the court, after pulling off the upset. However, the stadium security guards weren’t too keen on that idea.

Tonight during the Kansas State-Missouri game, the ESPN crew, consisting of Doug Gottlieb and John Sauders, were, how can we put this, “gesture bombed” on live television.

On Monday night, Kobe Bryant broke out a nifty little one-leged fadeaway jumper, reminiscent of the one that Dirk Nowitzki is known for. Thankfully, we had Reggie Miller on our side, as he called out the Mamba out for stealing a page out of the Nowitzki playbook.

The Daily Show had one of their best bits in awhile when they explored the racial implications of Jeremy Lin’s meteoric rise to Knicks starting point guard and Most Important Person Ever (a distinction that formerly belonged to Tim Tebow). Last night, they took a closer look at the TV implications of Lin’s ascent, and, thankfully, it looks like “Lindecision 2012″ is going to become a running thing.

It sounded familiar, this story of Republican presidential candidate Rick Santorum having a dog pee on his lap (leaving a considerable stain) while campaigning long ago, and reacting to having a dog’s pee stain on his lap by… continuing to campaign as if a dog hadn’t just peed on his lap. But there’s one angle – an angle that allows us to post the story here – we hadn’t heard.

The problem with being one of the funniest comedians of the modern era is that, when people see you, they want to do your bits. After all, it’s the first time (and possibly the only time) they’ll ever get to be around you, and their immediate reaction is to start doing that thing you did that one time.

Over the weekend, Xavier took down Dayton in an 86-83 overtime thriller. The game featured 32 points from Musketeers guard Tu Holloway… and one amazing blooper from announcer James Bates.
