Ron Artest Back To Selling Crazy. Whew.
Our heads are still trying to get around the news that Indiana swingman Ron Artest has demanded a trade from the Pacers. Neverminding that the Pacers (and, specifically, Larry Bird) stood steadfast by their man while he was portrayed as Jeffrey Dahmer in the offseason. Neverminding that the city o...

Reggie Miller, Pacers Propagandist

The Great Reggie Miller Corn Maze
Like any good Midwesterners, we've spent more than our fair share of time in corn mazes. For those of you who didn't spent their formative years surrounded by combines and grain elevators, a corn maze is exactly that; an entire cornfield formed into a giant maze, with checkpoints, dead-ends, exits...

Welcome Back, Artest! Glad To Have Ya!
That Ron Artest is back for a whole season is destined to be one of the sublime joys of the upcoming NBA season; that he vows to be as crazy as ever makes us want to get an NBA League Pass, stat. From an interview with Dave D'Alessandro in today's Newark Star-Ledger:...

Michigan Courts Make Society Safe Again
We know it's amazing that sports have been able to continue in the 10 months since the Pistons-Pacers brawl at The Palace in Detroit, but somehow, someway, athletic endeavors have been able to stagger on.
