• The Giants won behind the gashless guile of new starter Jim Sorgi, BTW.

• Jason Whitlock is leaving the Kansas City Star. More on this later(?).

The former NCAA champion has reportedly made it quite clear he has no intention of accepting the Nuggets' 3-year/$64 million-More-Than-I-Will-Ever-Make extension the Nuggets have offered him. Knicks fans: Start planning that victory parade now.

• Here's a delightfully in-depth look into an urban legend about recently-exposed Expos superfan Donald Sutherland.

• Udonis Haslem don't give no fuck.
