Those Saucy Ladies Of The ABC NBA Pregame
Awful Announcing has found the video ABC will be using to intro its NBA games this year — debuting Christmas Day, for the now-tired Shaq vs. Kobe matchup — and it features a group we don't know called "the Pussycat Dolls." (That name sounds like it was focus grouped by Mattel, by the way.)...
NBA Roundup: Isiah, Knicks Will Rule Us All One Day

Burn, Carmelo, Burn
So here's a great pickup from Darren Rovell's SportsBiz CNBC blog: In the wake of the fight last week that left the Nuggets without Carmelo Anthony for 15 games (and with Allen Iverson, which still seems odd), Northwest Airlines has booted Anthony off the cover of its January 2007 edition. (The Fr...
Iverson, The Day After
What is left for the City of Brotherly Love, in the wake of the Allen Iverson trade yesterday? Jeff Garcia? Actually ... yeah, Jeff Garcia! Even the Flyers have lost a franchise-record seven straight. Darren Daulton, Philadelphia needs your time machine now more than ever....

Iverson Finally Traded ... To The Nuggs!
Well, we suppose that makes sense: When your superstar is suspended 15 games for throwing a punch at someone named Mardy, the only real recuse you have is to go out and get yourself another superstar....
But He Means That In The Nicest Possible Way
We thought that we were pretty much up to speed on the brawl at Madison Square Garden and its aftermath, but now we're still a little confused. Is Isiah Thomas a "jerk," a "jackass" or an "asshole?" Our lines are still open, call in and cast your vote now! Nuggets coach George Karl left the question...
At The Garden With Deron, Stephon And The Cabal
So it figures: We go see our first (and likely only) Knicks game of the year, and not only is it their most "exciting" victory of the year, but it's a one that, the day after, even Knicks fans don't really care about. The Knicks had a rare stud game from Stephon Marbury — and by "rare," we mean "we ...

Witnessing The Isiah Carnage In Person
We're a little afraid to admit this publicly, if just we're afraid Isiah Thomas will send Mardy Collins to knock us to the floor or something, but in the wake of the big brawl at Madison Square Garden on Saturday, we are heading to our first (and hopefully) last Knicks game of the year tonight. The ...
Who's Sorry Now? NBA Edition
No sooner had the new TV been taken out of its box over at the new Carmelo Anthony Youth Development Center in Baltimore than the kids got an eyeful of their hero throwing haymakers at various members of the New York Knicks during their wild brawl on Saturday. One has to wonder what Carmelo would ha...

The Ryan Leaf Movie Will Probably Be Just Like "Brian's Song"
What you just saw was the trailer for Leaf: An Almost True Story. I read the article at Football Outsiders three times to convince myself that this wasn't a joke. But it's not. Leaf: An Almost True Story is happening sometime next year....
Carmelo Anthony Sticks and Moves... Really, Really Far Away
Well, it was about time. Over 20 games into the NBA season, there hadn't been a single bench-clearing melee. People were about to start thinking that the NBA had gone soft. Think again, fools....

PETA Is Worried About Shaq's Hands
A few people out there have wondered if the entirely reasonable and in no way dramatically and insanely overstepping in the name of a somewhat noble (occasionally) cause folks at PETA have an opinion on David Stern's decision to be with leather again. Well, they do....
Hey, Somebody Wake Up Jordan Already
As we enter Day, what, 15? of the Where's Iverson Gonna Get Traded? countdown — we think it's a shame they can't find a way to get him to Minnesota, and we can't fathom why it makes sense to send him to Boston — we look back at yesterday's big news. Supposedly, Iverson turned down a trade to the Cha...
