I don't have kids, not even close, but my heart still goes out to Big Z's family. His wife recently delivered still born twins, and this article, while brief, is a good write up of it.

The Warriors had a police escort in Indianapolis, as about 40,000 fans thought their bus was the returning Colts. The bus then got into a minor accident. "Cracked Nelson, "I told (guard Stephen) Jackson to get down and keep quiet when the police started coming on the bus.""

With the recent evidence (not confirmed as of yet) of Reggie Bush taking money, the school may have to give back it's college championships and Bush may have to give back his Heisman. I can't think of any USC alum who has disgraced the program more.

LETTERS FROM IWO JIMA

LITTLE MISS SUNSHINE

THE QUEEN

I've seen The Departed and thought it was a rip roaring good time. Little Miss Sunshine sure was cute, but I don't know if it's worth an Oscar bid. I mean, I wouldn't say it was any better than Stranger Than Fiction.

Didn't see the rest, but I do know that Children of Men is better than all of these films and it's a shame it's not up for best pic. If you haven't seen it, go watch it today or I'll stab you

A well-written article about why athletes shouldn't "keep it real." What I like about this is that the author, who's whiter than the whitest white bread, does not have the typical condescending and racist overtones that most sports writers have when talking about keeping it real.

I wish I could have gotten that same non-racist media members during my trial. I mean, my only crime was being black...and getting real angry, but that bitch knows how angry I can get.

The blue bloods at Slate say that giving an aging player more money than the league is worth is a bad idea. No shit. Where's my knives when I need them...
