Manute Bol, Being Boxed Again
Remember earlier this month, when we spotlighted former NBAer Manute Bol and his heroic efforts to shed light on the horrors currently going on in Darfur? Well, we still think his cause is noble, but some new news has us less convinced about him....
Darko, Freed and Shorn
You see that? Gone are the frosted sissy-locks of the old Darko. The new Darko has a buzzcut. It's not just a new style. It's symbolic. Military. High and tight. Bad ass. Oozing masculinity. That is the hairstyle of a man who will not be stopped....

A Penny For Your NBA Thoughts
As the NBA trading deadline looms, it will be hard to top the big trade that brought Steve Francis to New York — thus insuring an NBA championship for the Knicks next season (just kidding, they're doomed).

As most of you have probably already seen this morning, Knicks forward Antonio Davis ran into the stands last night in Chicago to "protect his wife from an intoxicated fan." Davis said, "I saw him touch her, and I know I should not have acted the way I did, but I would have felt terrible if I didn...
