Can We Handle Another Undefeated Boston Team?
• Green Day. If there was ever any doubt that Kevin Garnett is the new sheriff in town, this video should help to clear that up. The clip is from the Celtics' win over the Wizards, I think, but kind of illustrates who is really in charge. And that's OK — I wish the NBA would go back to the concept o...
Introducing The NHL Closer
We're gonna try this out for a couple of weeks and see how she works: It's the NHL Closer. We may alternate authors a bit — those guys at Melt Your Face Off do this quite well themselves — but for starters, we pass the mic to the kids at Orland Kurtenblog. Their NHL Closer is written by Canadians fo...
Mark Mangino, Your Photo Gallery
We don't know about you, but we're entranced by Kansas coach Mark Mangino. He's like Rick Majerus, but less cartoonish. He looks like what we want football coaches to look like; sorry, ladies, but he's married!...

Marbury Wants You To Know That Only He Sells Cheapass Shoes
Considering he has testified under oath that he had sex with a Knicks intern in his car — and then helped get her a better job! — Stephon Marbury needs all the good PR he can get. Hence, those cheap sneakers he sells, which help inner city kids become more like Stephon Marbury, which is totally a go...
Well, Look Who's In Trouble Again
Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Chris Henry was just reinstated to the NFL after an eight-game suspension. That's good. Police are already investigating him for another incident. That's bad....
That Highly Successful Buzzsaw
We always get a kick out of these occasional "Best Sports Franchises" studies. ESPN does them, The Sporting News has some, we think even MTV did them once. We like them because they inevitably have our Buzzsaw near the bottom of the list. Sometimes even at the very bottom....
The Detmer-Favre Rivalry Continues
The Vikings just signed Koy Detmer, and he very well might play this weekend against the Packers. I Dislike Your Favorite Team brings back this video of the last time Detmer and Brett Favre faced off....
Dennis Is Here! Rejoice!
So is it mere coincidence that Dennis Miller starts his new sports show on Versus on the same day that we open our Sports Human of the Year nominations? (lowers glasses, looks thoughtfully at reader). We weren't born yesterday, babe. Sports Unfiltered with Dennis Miller kicked off on Tuesday, and if...

Ben Cohen Is Much Less Gay Than Sebastien Gacond
You might remember the saga of Sebastien Gacond, the triathlete who wanted to make it as clear as possible that he did not like sweaty testicles in his face. (He's not gay; NO. He's into chicks, man.) Well, rugby player Ben Cohen, who has developed a far wider following of gay men, is quite proud of...

Don Shula Will Assign You An Asterisk And You Will Wear It
We knew there was something missing from the NFL season: An asterisk controversy. Of course. Well let's get right to it. Don Shula — who coached the 1972 Miami Dolphins to the only unbeaten season in NFL history — says that the Patriots should get an asterisk if they finish 19-0 this season....
We Have To Ask
Suggested questions for today's ESPN SportsNation chatters ... • 11 a.m. Fantasy sports with E. Karabell: As long as Larry Johnson is healthy, my fantasy team is pretty much unbeatable. • 1 p.m. Football with Mel Kiper.
