"When you're out on the West Coast, it's very obvious. Our games start later. A lot of the media and the people that are bracketologists, they don't even watch our games. They just get the internet. They're in bed by 10 p.m. East Coast time and our game's just starting or maybe it hasn't started yet" – USC men's basketball coach Andy Enfield, on what he perceives as East Coast bias in the media (L.A. DAILY NEWS, 3/10).

"The feedback I've gotten on Twitter is, 'Don't get hurt out there.' Our fans are rooting for the Giants.

But I'll tell you one thing -- they start hurting our commercial value with these schedules, then you'll see me put my hand up" – Team Owner Roger Penske, on his concerns about shortening Cup weekends (AUTOWEEK.com, 3/11).
