Kevin Durant, Trail Blazer
We're longtime fans of the Draft Kevin Durant blog, if just because of the obsessive single-mindedness of it. (Even if it hasn't been updated in a while.) When Greg Oden went down with an injury, it was all the site could do not to cackle....
John Elway Should Be Free To Drink To His Heart's Content
The deification of John Elway in the Denver area is all-encompassing; we think Colorado might give Elway their presidential electoral votes just on general principle. Which is why we couldn't be more stunned: Someone cut off Elway from drinking at a bar!...

Cry, Little Messier, Cry
We hope Dick Vermeil is someday elected to the Pro Football Hall of Fame, because you know he's just gonna go cry crazy. That place will look like New Orleans when he's done with the waterworks.
