Dan Fouts, Unplugged!
In honor of Bill Simmons' and ESPN's discovery of YouTube today — and our cameo appearance — we thought we'd dig up a fun old YouTube of Verne Lundquist and Dan Fouts, on CBS, killing some time before the start of a Cowboys game. We love the facial expressions Fouts makes into the camera here. We th...
Teddy Dupay, Keeping Himself Busy
Remember Teddy Dupay? The scrappy, easily hateable Florida guard who left for the NBA early because of a gambling probe and ultimately went undrafted? He bounced around some overseas leagues and then pretty much left basketball for good at the age of 25....

Some Big Hockey Happenings This Weekend...
• The NHL entry draft went down yesterday, and it included a record 10 American players taken in the first round.

And Without Any Further Blowups ... Game 6
Difficult to add much more to everything else that's out there: It's Game 6, the Heat are a game away from winning the NBA Title, Mark Cuban is $250,000 lighter and downright dog-nutty, Dwyane Wade getting his legend on and the referrees looking over their shoulders, making sure no one's got a shi...

Paraguay has been a big disappointment, losing two games 1-0 and already having been eliminated. Meanwhile, the plucky Trinidadians — Toboggans? — look unlikely to make the next round; they need a convincing victory and a blowout loss by Sweden against England.
