Tracy McGrady Lets His Boys Breathe
If you ever wondered how Tracy McGrady would do in a sheep-tossing contest, this new commercial for some Vitamin Water thing finally provides you with an answer. It's not every day you see an NBA superstar in a kilt....
Please Don't Let This Series Ever End
It is clear, at this point, that the Mavericks-Warriors series is hazardous to the health of anyone happening to be watching at home. What a travesty that these beautiful, crazed, maddening games are ending so late; it's impossible to watch this series and not think the NBA might be the most league ...
About Last Night ...
What you missed while repeatedly dialing "3" and then wondering where the ambulance is ... • NBA: It ... is ... ALIVE! Nowitzki, of all people, leads Mavericks over Warriors in Game 5. • MLB: Phil Of The Future is injured — of course — in Yankees 10-1 win over Rangers. • NHL: Wait, this series is ti...
Golden State's Chance To Make History (And Probably Kill Cuban)
Imagine the ramifications if, perchance, the Warriors eliminate the Mavericks tonight. First off, poor Dirk Nowitzki might never show his face in public again, or at least not around his coach. We'll have proof that the Warriors sold their souls to the devil. And Don Nelson will have his final, brut...
People Losing Their Life's Savings ... Live On NBC!
It's a logical idea whose time has obviously come: Televised golf wagering. In a move that could only be made by a network desperate after missing out on the Barbaro documentary, NBC is going to televise a full golf tournament made entirely of degenerate gamblers. And Fox is doing it too....
Harold Reynolds Still Wondering What The Heck Happened
Your friend and ours Harold Reynolds showed up at Safeco Field on Sunday and is still trying to find gainful employment. And he's still not over the whole ESPN thing....

Pac Man Would Like His Job Again Please
For all the big apology full-page newspaper ads he has placed, Pac Man Jones isn't quite ready to give up the ghost just yet: He's appealing his year-long suspension to NFL commissioner Roger Goodell....
Fear The Beard
We never really noticed it until Monday afternoon, when KNBR Radio's Ted Robinson brought it up, but Baron Davis' stellar play against the Mavericks so far might be the best point guard performance by a beard since Walt Frazier led the Knicks to the NBA title in 1973. Sure, other beards have perform...
We Have To Ask ...
Suggested questions for tonight's ESPN SportsNation chatters ... • 11 a.m. NBA senior writer Marc Stein: Is that a thunderstick in your pocket, or are you just happy to see me? • 11:15 a.m. Baseball with Joe Morgan: WTF are you talking about? • 4 p.m. Boxer Floyd Mayweather Jr.: Because we haven't s...
Corpse Of Steinbrenner Still Has Employees Who Use Fax Machines
Look out, Yankees! George Steinbrenner is filing some strongly worded memos!...
Tracy McGrady Has His Alpha Dog Night
In the last three days, Dwyane Wade, Dwight Howard and, uh, Antawn Jamison have been swept out of the playoffs, and Kobe Bryant, Chris Bosh, Carmelo Anthony and Allen Iverson don't seem too far behind. (And don't get us started on Dirk.) The superstars are off to slow playoff starts, so it's encoura...

[ESPN] • NBA: Playoffs, first round, Utah at Houston, Game 5; San Antonio at Denver, Game 4. Jazz hope they are eliminated before new season of ...
Randy Moss To The Patriots. We Still Don't Believe It.
As we await the inevitable Bill Simmons column about this — Five Tool Tool goes ahead and sums it up for us — we continue to watch our mind boggle over the notion of Randy Moss playing for the Patriots. We've never found Moss as annoying as, say, Terrell Owens, but he's hardly what we think of when ...
It's A Vacuum AND A Haircutter!
Tired of watching your favorite athletes struggle under the pressures of posing for pictures and signing autographs? Wish someone could do something, to make a difference?...
The Seventh Floor Crew Takes Over The NFL
At the end of the first round of the NFL Draft on Saturday, the defending NFC champion Chicago Bears drafted tight end Greg Olsen. If you don't recognize Olsen's name, you can hark back to the halcyon days of November 2005, when Olsen dropped some beats as a member of the Seventh Floor Crew. (He's n...
You Can't Stop Barbaro, You Can Only Hope To Put Him Down
Expect, in the next week, Madison Square Garden to be haunted by the ghost of a rather pissed Barbaro; the overtime in the Rangers-Sabres game yesterday caused the Barbaro documentary to be postponed and rescheduled for the vastly unworthy CNBC this Friday. Jeez, why don't you just put the damned th...
