Dear MSG And Time Warner Cable: Eat A Bag Of Salted Dicks

Mark Sanchez Asked Santonio Holmes To Be His Valentine On Twitter Last Night

Man Who Owns Linsanity.com Tried To Trademark "Linsanity" Last Week, Wasn't Fast Enough
When last we heard of Andrew Slayton, he was selling Jeremy-Lin themed t-shirts for $16 on his website.

Only A Fool Would Want His Kid To Play Football
I had to go get my watch fixed the other day, and the watch fixing place that I go to is one of those old school clockmaker shops that looks like it's run by a serial killer.

Melo Says Jeremy Lin Is "Like A Dream Come True" For Him
Talk radio callers and internet people alike are foretelling doom regarding Carmelo Anthony's return to the Knicks later this week.

After Signing Cuban Defector With Weird Workout Video, Have The A's Had The Strangest Offseason Ever?
What is going on Oakland? (No, not this.) Billy Beane's done some things. He traded two young All-Star starters, Gio Gonzalez and Trevor Cahill, to the Nationals and Diamondbacks.
