Taking Down The USA, One Touchdown At A Time
Every year, usually more than once a year (whenever there's a major sporting event), some soulless, dumb "research firm" tries to convince us that the office workers of America are somehow skirting their duties serving The Man by paying so much attention to something that might divert them from star...

Bobby Knight sure has been chatty since breaking the all-time NCAA men's win mark. Here's his take on the whole Bill Parcells situation in Dallas.

We've actually been to the Boca Juniors stadium in Buenos Aires, Argentina, and we can vouch: It's a scary place when games aren't going on.

• NBA: Pistons 91, Kings 74. It was Ron-Ron's first game back in the Palace since the incident. He played imaginary "catch" with some fans at courtside, which probably makes sense.
