Carmelo Anthony Might Be Losing More Than Just Allen Iverson

Is ESPN Looking to Buy Baseball Prospectus?
A couple weeks ago there was a rumor circulating around one the ESPN offices that, after the election ended, the WWL was going to have a serious conversation with stat-boy guru Nate Silver about the possibility of a buying Baseball Prospectus. Maybe it was just one individual spouting off to some of...
So That's Why Everyone Hates Duke
Duke basketball is quite good, but not like Tiger Woods or Lance Armstrong good. They haven't won the ACC conference since 2006, they haven't been to the Final Four since 2004, and they haven't won the title since 2001.

A Little Trash Talk For Your Tuesday
First, the reasons Kevin Garnett's taunting actions here are a big bowl of wrong: the finger-waving gestures you see in the stills and in the video below are from the movie Bring It On. What?

Kennedy: He could destro...
