Jeremy Lin Will Be A Houston Rocket
Ending a week of speculatin' and cap-crunchin' and hand-wringin' and what the fuck are you doing Dolanin', it seems the Knicks will pass on matching Houston's offer sheet for Jeremy Lin.

Chris Webber Refers To Ron Jeremy Instead Of Ron Burgundy During NBA Summer League Broadcast
Not sure what about this I like best: Webber making the mistaken Anchorman reference at the 22-second mark, the nearly 10 seconds of awkward silence until he corrects himself, or the minute-plus the rest the broadcast crew then spends laughing at him. It's a hard one....
