Devoted To The Packers' Backup QB
We found it amusing that, with everyone all concerned about Brett Favre's injury last week, it turned out that he was fine ... but backup Aaron Rodgers ended up out for the season. Has to be frustrating; you're stuck behind Favre, and once you finally get in, you hurt yourself....

It's A Nice Week To Be Zach Randolph's Lawyer

NBA Roundup: Vacation Time For Shaq
• Shaquille O'Neal is going to need surgery to repair some torn cartilage in his knee, and he'll be missing 4-6 weeks. That surely comes as devastating news to the three or four of you out there who thought Shaq would be playing a full 82 games this year. I suppose it's important to note now, but ...
Dwight Howard, Enjoying His Youthful Years
You know how we know that the Orlando Magic's Dwight Howard is just starting to break the ceiling of NBA stardom? He's hanging out with porn stars. Specifically, amply bosomed former gubernatorial candidate Mary Carey, who tells the story of meeting Howard in a Luke Is Back, apparently a well-read...
Five Little Words That Started It All
As every schoolchild knows by heart, Nov. 19, 2004 was the date of the Malice in the Palace NBA brawl between the Detroit Pistons and Indiana Pacers.

The Way You Tuck Your Shirt ...
Fascinating column in the New York Daily News from Mitch Lawrence today, discussing some of the extreme measures David Stern and the NBA are undertaking to make sure all the new behavioral rules and dress codes are being adhered to. It's an eye opener. Our favorite part:...
Allen Iverson Tries To Make Sense Of The Unfathomable
Put us in the camp of people who think Allen Iverson is one of the most compelling and, yeah, likable athletes in sports; it's impossible to take your eyes off him when he's on the court, and he's stubbornly, awesomely himself in every aspect when he's off it. It's sad to see his career rotting away...

Kobe Bryant's Slightly More Frivolous Lawsuit
The words "Kobe Bryant Lawsuit" is enough to make tongues wag — or, uh, other things do, er, other things — but the most recent Bryant lawsuit doesn't involve Aspen hotel rooms or inappropriately tossed T-shirts; instead, a Memphis Grizzlies fan — proof of their existence! — has slapped Bryant with ...

NBA Roundup: Screw You, Kareem
Redd... Zone. Kareem-Abdul Jabbar's Bucks team scoring record went down last night, as Michael Redd lit up the Utah Jazz for 57 points. Redd's teammates, however... well, they were there. The Jazz got 32 from Carlos Boozer (he's still a prick, right?) and 27 from Deron Williams. Oh, and the Jazz a...

NBA Slogan Fever: We Love This CATCH IT!
We've always been amused by teams' dopey slogans for the season; the worst one we can remember is the 2004 St. Louis Cardinals' "Red Means Go." We have absolutely no idea what that means, and we sincerely tried....
