Hello friends. I’m sick and have been editing/writing for the past dozen hours so forgive me if this isn’t my finest effort. But, let it be known that the effort also reflects what happened last night in the sports world: not much. I tried to load up with links and videos to make up for that, and hopefully it will still entertain you. Anyway, it’s go time at the Wednesday Cheat Sheet…
Kansas gets away with an obvious travel on a buzzer-beater vs Kansas State
This was most definitely a travel from Kansas Jayhawks junior Sviatoslav Mykhailiuk, but, it wasn’t called, and it worked out to be a game-winning buzzer-beater to beat Kansas State 90-88:
Just saw the final play of the Kansas game. That dude ran farther with the ball in his hands than any Kansas running back all season.

Clemson HC Brad Brownell did not give Roy Williams a happy postgame handshake
North Carolina took down Clemson 89-86 in overtime, and Clemson head coach Brad Brownell was quite angry as he approached Roy Williams for the postgame handshake. Brownell was reportedly angry about what a North Carolina player was yelling at the Clemson bench. Williams was clearly apologizing to Brownell after appearing confused at first. Video:

– My favorite NFL player of all-time, Devin Hester, is signing with the Seahawks. He’s not what he used to be, but it would be pretty damn cool if he could find a way to bring one back in the playoffs. And watching his return touchdown highlights is a great way to waste 10 minutes:
– Sigh: Adam “Pacman” Jones arrested again.
– ESPN’s Louis Riddick will interview for the 49ers’ GM position.
– J.J. Watt did a very cool thing for a young fan in the hospital.

– This was the viral video of the day:
Here’s a scene from a show I like
Mike Ehrmantraut (played by Jonathan Banks) in Better Call Saul on the difference between a bad guy and a criminal:
One last glorious moment of procrastination
Bills Mafia coming through with as good of a beer save as we’ll see in all of 2017:
