Commentary: It’s showtime at the Apollo, but don’t expect Mike Tyson to dance

Mike Tyson is old. His words, not mine. Make no mistake, no logical person should mock Iron Mike as a geezer. Who among us possesses so great of a plan – a strategic plan, a contingency plan, a life insurance plan – if ever we take one of his right jabs to the face? Physically, he still looks like the realized version of his 8-bit character from the “Mike Tyson’s Punch-Out!!” video game. All chest and biceps, and ready to unleash uppercuts on poor “Little Mac.”

The Mariners are in first place with just under three weeks until the calendar flips to June, and yet, they've largely underachieved thus far. It's a combination that could indicate the best is yet to come for the Mariners, but for that to happen, they'll have to get the bats going.

‘It’s not like we’re starting over’: Amid huge losses, Eastern Washington basketball coach Joddie Gleason leans on her program’s culture

Given the success EWU’s women’s basketball team enjoyed last season, and given the fact the team’s entire coaching staff is back, it would seem improbable that the Eagles experienced as much roster turnover as they did this offseason. And while it’s not entirely a rebuild, the Eagles are looking to replace 85% of their scoring production from last season.

Commentary: UW men navigated ‘wild west’ to land Great Osobor, raising plenty of questions

While being introduced as Washington’s men’s basketball coach on March 27, Danny Sprinkle donned a purple tie and sat at a table inside Alaska Airlines Arena. Facing rows of family members, media, athletic department employees and increasingly important donors, he laughed and told the truth. “It’s the wild, wild west now in college athletics from a recruiting standpoint.” Wild, wild northwest as well.
