A Post About Nothing
Absolutely nothing. That's the news coming out of the NFL labor talks. They still don't like each other. They still can't agree. There's still not a lot of hope. I still don't care....
About Last Night...
• College Basketball: UNC 83, Duke 76. Tar Heels forward Tyler Hansbrough puts in 27 points, and I think I've seen enough of the color blue for a while....
I Think It's Time Eddie Sutton Had A Reality Show
Police in Stillwater have obtained video footage of Eddie Sutton urinating in public. On a middle school. With a bottle in his hand. Oh dear....

• NBA: Washington 113, Philadelphia 119. The Sixers won, so this should probably be complimentary, but Allen Iverson had 47 and Chris Webber had 30, and they only won by 6. I miss defense....
Bjorn Borg: Resistance Is Futile
Say what you will about athletes like Jerry Rice and Emmitt Smith, who hang on to their careers for too long and are too afraid to be away from the spotlight to retire, but at least they don't usually run out of money....

Bonds' Comedic Timing As Pitch Perfect As Ever
It's one thing for Barry Bonds to to dress up as Paula Abdul as a prank in spring training. (Or, more accurately, as a Media Event for his reality show.)...
Yeah, It's A Fight. We Get It
Show of hands: Is anyone still interested in the boxers-shouting-at-each-other-and-then-it-nearly-comes-to-blows-at-the-press-conference routine? The last time that was fresh, we think, was when Max Baer insulted Jim Braddock's wife in 1938. But they continue to do it, for some reason. The latest...
Barry Bonds Is Ready For His Closeup, ESPN
Call us cynical, but we've been mulling over this whole Barry Bonds-in-drag thing that occurred at the Giants spring training practice field on Tuesday. Upon further review, we smell a very large and stinky rat. This, you see, was a very un-Barry-like thing to do. Whatever Barry is about, he is no...

Manute Bol, Being Boxed Again
Remember earlier this month, when we spotlighted former NBAer Manute Bol and his heroic efforts to shed light on the horrors currently going on in Darfur? Well, we still think his cause is noble, but some new news has us less convinced about him....

Yeah, Damon Back At Fenway Should Be Fun

Reconsidering Bode Miller
To Winter Olympics naysayers, there is no bigger symbol of the event's waste and piffle than Bode Miller, the much hyped U.S. skier who was on the cover of seemingly every national magazine yet came away from the Games without a single medal. Hell, he barely even finished a race....

That Looks Like It Hurts
Those of you who woke up with a little bit of a hangover this morning can be thankful for at least one thing: You aren't Fernando Vargas. Look at that eye, man. That is disgusting. Who'd he fight, Deebo? I think that growth just scored an 11 on the Wonderlic....
About Last Night...
• NBA: Bobcats 121, Suns 136. Both teams had over 100 through 3 quarters. It seems kinda unfair for Charlotte to score 121 points and lose. I didn't think they could score 121 in an empty gym....
Dan Snyder's Prayers Have Been Heard
It's looking more and more like the NFL is going to play the 2007 season without a salary cap, which is bad news if you're one of the people who have been enjoying the leaguewide parity over the last few years. We could be headed towards total chaos....
