Fight! Fight! Fight!
• Catching up on Cotto vs. Mosley. Wow, that fight was actually better than I was led to believe.

This Is Pretty Much Why God Invented Sports Bars, We Reckon
We don't know what hell like, or who exactly is there (aside from all the sports agents). But here's a pretty good guess: There's nonstop karaoke, the only beverage is Tabasco sauce and at the top of the hour everyone gets hit in the face with a custard pie. That sounds about right.

It Was Never About Barry, And Of Course It Always Was
The key point to remember in the Barry Bonds indictment that went down yesterday afternoon is that we really don't have any new information.

Green Day
All of this talk about the Boston Celtics setting an NBA record for wins in a season has me a little disoriented; seeing that they've only played six games, and Scot Pollard and Leon Howe are on their roster.
