Dan Graziano argues that one weekend’s worth of disappointing outcomes should not be extrapolated to mean the Big East was overrated. I’m biased, but he’s right as far as I’m concerned. Doesn’t excuse Georgetown’s pitiful performance though.

Tim Lincecum’s In-N-Out order
At In-N-Out, Tim Lincecum eats three double-doubles, two orders of fries and a chocolate-strawberry shake. My goal for calendar year 2011 is to eat at In-N-Out.
The Beefy Crunch Burrito incident
A Texas man became so upset at a price hike on Beefy Crunchy Burritos that he opened fire on police. No one was hurt, but the guy never got his burritos. My question: How is “the Original Jalapeno Fried Chicken”? Sounds pretty awesome. Hat tip to Catsmeat for the scoop, and then about six more people after that.

UFC fighter subdues robber with figure-four leglock
Awesome. I didn’t know the figure-four leglock was something that actually worked; I thought it was just a fake wrestling move. But I guess probably anything a UFC guy tries on some petty thief is going to be pretty effective. Via Josh.

Presenting: The condiment bracket
Via Jon Bois. Hard to quibble with the champion, but I’m shocked that Nutella made it so deep into the tournament.
