Two good Samaritans returned more than $275,000 that tumbled out of an improperly secured armored truck in Syracuse, New York, last week. But some not-so-good Samaritans seem to have walked away with another $60,000 that fell onto the street.
Columbus Blue Jackets rookie forward Nikita Filatov will get a taste of a stretch run.
SI.com caught up with Seth Davis, who's serving as a CBS studio analyst during the tournament, to get his impressions of Sunday's first-round action.

Two summers ago, the Atlantic-10 formed a committee to come up with a new policy on scheduling. The policy, which went into effect this season, gives commissioner Linda Bruno the same authority many other commissioners have to veto games she deems harmful to her league. "We had several coaches on the committee, so the implementation of this has actually been quite painless," Bruno says. "So far, it's been working very well."
Dear FSB: My business partner and I each own 50 percent stock in a thriving technology business we formed five years ago. Recently, my business partner announced that he wants to start taking large amounts of the profits. I see this as a roadblock to continued growth and wish to keep my share of the profits in the company. Advice?

Coaching changes are common in college football, and this year looks to be no different.
"When I first got shot I only felt the bullet in my wrist,'' says Andray Blatche, the Washington Wizards' 6-11 forward. "So I thought I was fine. So immediately what I did was, I took the shirt off and wrapped it around my wrist to stop the blood and tighten it up tight. I was real cool the whole time because it didn't really hurt much, because I thought it was just my wrist. But once I got to meet the ambulance at McDonald's, the cop got there first and he seen I got my shirt off and he seen blood come from my chest. And he was like, 'Did you get shot in your chest?' And I said, 'No, just my wrist.' And he said, 'No, you got shot in your chest.'
Everyone knows about Duke-North Carolina and Louisville-Kentucky. But a new crop of rivalries has emerged in college hoops, fueled by poaching coaches, blue-chip recruits, buzzer-beaters and simple bad blood.
Midnight Madness Day is upon us, and it's time to choose what combination we value most in a preseason No. 1 team in the Power Rankings. We're presented with five options:
Despite the addition of Miami, Virginia Tech and Boston College, the ACC has regressed in recent seasons rather than become one of the elite football conferences. But last week, the conference took a nice step forward on two fronts thanks to Florida State and Maryland. Midnight madness can be put on hold in the hoops-crazy conference, at least temporarily.
Every week I receive e-mails from readers asking how I could have left off so-and-so, the quarterback/running back/receiver from their beloved State U. And every week there's one player who garners landslide write-in support.
The chant came thundering down Strawberry Canyon on a picturesque Saturday night in Berkeley. The Golden Bears were on their way to avenging an embarrassing loss to Tennessee in convincing fashion, and the backdrop to the cross-country matchup had a voice: "Pac-Ten Foot-Ball," cried the masses inside Memorial Stadium. "Pac-Ten Foot-Ball."
Question: I've read that if I withdraw roughly 4 percent of my retirement savings each year to live on, my money will last virtually forever. But does this 4 percent include the money my portfolio already kicks off in dividends and interest? Or is the 4 percent withdrawal on top of that? - Doug Martin, Syracuse, New York
One of the fun things about writing the Mailbag each week is you never know which portion will touch the biggest nerve. Last week, it was a seemingly innocuous, buried-on-page-three question from a reader named Jeff in Atlanta wondering why Georgia coach Mark Richt isn't catching any heat for failing to reach the national title game.

1. The New York Daily News is reporting that youthful Giants quarterback Eli Manning got engaged Tuesday night. Eli needed to move fast while there were still women available who hadn't been impregnated by Tom Brady.
1. No room at the inn: Maybe there's one reason that's been overlooked to explain the dearth of big first-round upsets in this year's tournament -- a lousy breakfast buffet. According to the Washington Post, the NCAA assigns teams to hotels based on their seedings. The top-seeded teams get the best digs, typically downtown Marriotts, while lower-seeded squads might end up at an airport Holiday Inn or a rundown "historic" hotel. I wish I'd known that, say, Butler was finally loving life in a luxury hotel as a No. 5 seed rather than its usual No. 11 or 12 before I picked them to lose against Maryland. Maybe the scouting reports should include the thread count of the sheets at the team's hotel.

Hatred, hatred Is the only thing that lasts forever. Hatred, hatred Is the only thing that keeps us together. -- Raymond Douglas Davies
You have to win your way into the NCAA tournament, not back in. Thus, if you end up being a bubble team Selection weekend, it's important to have what I call a "hang-your-hat win."
