Get ready for the second coming of Kaz Matsui. Kaz Matsui? Yeah, the guy the Mets blew $20 million for a 3 yr deal on but then eventually dumped because they were so sick of his futility. Knowing his production, even Richard Prior in Brewster's Millions would not have paid that...

The NFL fined Bush $10k for wearing Adidas shoes during the Saints preseason game. Because of a marketing deal, players are only allowed to wear Nike and Reebok. Bush later admitted that Adidas took care of the fine. This actually puts the league in an interesting quandry. Bush will...

Washington Wizards point guard Gilbert Arenas will not play in the World Championships that begin on August 19th. Arenas strained his groin in practice on Monday and will no longer be with the team. The absence of Arenas will probably lessen the competition at the point-guard position.
