Is This It For Shaq, Wade And Riley?
Well, if you're not too busy waving David Hasselhoff masks like a maniac, you should certainly be intrigued by tonight's NBA Finals Game 3. The Heat obviously have to win, and the game is perhaps as important to Shaquille O'Neal's legacy as it is to Pat Riley and the rest of the Heat. Even Dwyane ...

Live Blog: Brazil Vs. Croatia
As has been pointed out, Brazil is like the Yankees it's OK to like. Few people think the Brazilians are arrogant or full of themselves, and rarely do people root against them. We think it's because every single Brazilian person we've ever met is extremely attractive. That's more than we can say f...
Spreading The Buckeye Love In Iraq
We've had more than our fair share of big fun at the expense of Ohio State of late, so we thought we'd try to even matters out by pointing out this picture, taken by Corporal Adam Knox, from Whitehall, Ohio, currently serving in Iraq.

Picking Through The U.S. Carnage
One of the funnier bits "The Daily Show" has done of late was to run training video of late terrorist leader Abu Musab al-Zarqawi set to the "American Idol" song "Bad Day," which was always played when a contestant was voted off the show. It somehow summed up so many conflicted and complicated wor...

Boy, The Heat Sure Look Done Already
As Free Darko pointed out, last night's Mavericks-Heat game was hardly one they'll be showing off on NBA TV in a week. The Mavericks dominated the whole way, and as little fun as it is to pronounce a series over before they even switch venues, it kind of looks like the Heat might be done....
Rileyball To Rear Its Ugly Head
Well, here we go. Pat Riley, shown above after being asked about the size of Shaquille O'Neal's penis, has made clear his intention to ugly up the NBA Finals. They're going to roll with a little more "Rileyball," which is, of course, another term for ugly basketball. For examples, see any of the ...
To Watch Tonight...
• NBA Finals: Miami Heat @ Dallas Mavericks. At this point, I can't even enjoy a sporting event if Tom Petty isn't involved. 9:00, ABC. • MLB: Cleveland Indians @ Chicago White Sox.
