Danilo Gallinari, Hero Of The South Bronx
Somehow, a little part of us wonders, had Knicks fans known his nickname and true self, if they might have cut him a little more slack. Instead, as we sadly predicted, Gallinari got the royal New York treatment last night....

About Last Night
I feel a great disturbance in The Force ... • NBA: Derrick Rose goes to Bulls with No. 1 pick; Knicks' fans cheer enthusiastically for their top choice (just kidding; they take to the streets and riot as expected). • Tennis: The days of Andy Roddick are finished. Let the Janko Tipsarevic Era begin. ...

Here Kid, Have A Mercedes
So there's this occupation in European soccer called boot boy, which is a kind of apprenticeship in which a young player does chores around the clubhouse (so I'm told).

Part III: The Will Leitch Live Blog
One of the most flattering compliments I've received in these, the blog days of my youth, has been from William F. Leitch regarding my live blogs, notably the Super Bowl XLII one. It's made me want to do more, but unfortunately all there is to lively blog these days is baseball, which can get rather...
