You're 32 Years Old, And You've Achieved Nothing. Jesus Christ Was Dead And Alive Again By 33. You Better Get Crackin'.
Think of it as a hobby. Something you do to relax. You're an "assassination enthusiast."...
We Have To Ask ...
Suggested questions for today's ESPN SportsNation chatters ... • 11 a.m. Fantasy League injuries: So are these real injuries, or ones we make up? • Noon. NBA with Chris Sheridan: Yeah, that Western Conference Finals party you're planning? If it's Jazz-Spurs, I'll be too dead to attend. • 3 p.m. AFL ...
How Sad Is Ben Wallace Today, Really?
It was a nice little hope for a while, some sort of jolt of life into a lagging, pallid Eastern Conference playoffs, but now that the Pistons have advanced past the Bulls and set up a presumably smooth trip past whatever "team" collapses forward enough to win the Cavs-Nets series, we're back to our ...
Looks Like Another Pistons NBA Finals
OK, so maybe the Bulls can't pull this off....
Can The Bulls Pull This Off?
It's really quite wild how much can change over two playoff games. After the Bulls' depressing, limp Game 3 loss at home, everyone was writing about how they should blow up the Bulls, how they should have traded for Pau Gasol, how they were too young, how Ben Wallace had no heart. And now, after two...
His Next Job Will Be To Take Over For Stu Jackson
This spry gentleman's name is Bill Hargrove — he's the round immobile object between the orange ball and the red ball — and he just bowled his age. You might not find this all that impressive, though we find it difficult to bowl our age, ourselves. (We are not a skilled bowler.) But readers, smile, ...
Bill Simmons Is Ready For His Closeup
This week has been when the television networks all release their plans for next fall, called "upfronts," letting the media know what they'll be rotting viewers brains with for the next calendar year. ESPN is no different; Tuesday, they announced their plans for late 2007, and they're clearly taking...
Don Nelson Will Get Back To You On Whether He Believes
As George Costanza famously noted, it's important to go out on a high note. If you tell a joke at a party and get a huge laugh, you excuse yourself and quit while you're ahead. Apparently subscribing to this philosophy, Warriors coach Don Nelson — having vanquished the invincible Mavericks with a te...

Playoff Blogdome: Spurs-Suns, Game 5
Views from around the Web after last night's pivotal Game 5 between the Spurs and Suns ......
Suns Lose In Worst Way Possible, For Everybody
As many have already pointed out, last night could not have gone any worse for ... well, for just about everybody involved in the Suns-Spurs series. A blowout victory for the Spurs would have been painful, but at least it would have been quick, and we all could have convinced ourselves that the Suns...
The Spurs Fan Solution: Sit Duncan!
The guy from Spurs blog Pounding The Rock had it exactly right this morning: The worst part about Amare Stoudemire's (and Boris Diaw's) suspension tonight is that it immediately makes the whole game illegitimate. If the Spurs win, it won't feel like they earned it, and they've instantly become the b...
Brady Quinn, Always With The Hetero Photos
Last March, Packers linebacker A.J. Hawk married Laura Quinn, whom you might remember as the double-jerseyed sister of new Browns quarterback Brady Quinn....
If You Have Video Of Michael Vick Watching Dogs Killing Each Other, Please Let Us Know
In another one of their "big" EXCLUSIVES, Yahoo! Sports claims there might possibly maybe who-knows? could be a video of Ron Mexico involved in dog fighting. The story isn't much of a smoking gun, but it keeps the ball rolling, and it allows for fun Photoshops like above....

Suggested questions for today's ESPN SportsNation chatters ... • Noon. NBA with David Thorpe: What're you looking at? Well? (Throws elbow). • 2 p.m. Baseball America w/Jim Callis: What's with all the old pitchers? Is global warming somehow to blame? • 3 p.m. TENNIS Mag's Peter Bodo: What warrants th...
A Game 5 Without Amare. Tragic.
Well, the suspensions from the Suns-Spurs Game 4 finally came down last night, and one thing was assured: Nobody, probably not even the Spurs, is happy about it. Robert Horry, Amare Stoudemire and Boris Diaw will all miss tonight's Game 5, which means that the Suns will be at a clear disadvantage be...
Hey, Somebody Tell The Bulls The Series Is Over
Well, one thing's for certain now: The Pistons fans don't think of the Bulls as Glass Joe anymore. In a development that has shocked even Bulls boosters, Scott Skiles' crew has blitzed the Pistons two consecutive games now, and they head back to Chicago with a chance to even the series on Thursday n...
Thanks For The Memories (At Least The Ones We Could Stay Up Late Enough For)
We salute the Golden State Warriors for the ride they've taken us on, but after last night's once-again-convincing 100-87 Jazz victory, they're the first team to be eliminated from the conference semifinals. And the Warriors fans are rather Zen about the whole thing....

Last Call For Bandwagonners
We've never been as offended by bandwagon fans as most people are. When Bill Murray started following around the Illini during their Final Four year, we didn't mind: It was Bill Murray, for crying out loud....
