Sportscape's blog, SideLines, points out that Manny Pacquiao will perform in a few concerts right after his fight with Shane Mosley on May 7. It's not hard to understand why such a bold move would be considered a true sign of taunting. With that, Sportscape has compiled a list of the 15 best athlete taunts, which includes Dikembe Mutombo's famous finger wag and the time Michael Jordan returned the favor to Mutombo.

Is "The Dance," run by Seattle radio station, 950-AM KJR and its morning show, Mitch in the Morning Show.

It's good to see the NCAA worrying about something important. Anyway, you can scout the field here, fill out a bracket here and listen to my recent appearance on Mitch in the Morning breaking down the field here.
