Growing up in the D.C. Metropolitan-area, the main lingering memory I have of C-Webb is when the Washington Bullets mistakingly traded him to Sacramento for Mitch Richmond and Otis Thorpe, instead of Juwan Howard. No disrespect to Howard, who had his best NBA years in D.C., but C-Webb has Hall of Fame numbers and was much more exciting to watch.

No amount of Old Spice, Axe body spray or visits to a local confessional will overcome the guilty pleasure that is enjoying NCAA March Madness "one-tourney stand" games.

Games where freshman superstars are forced to play one year of college basketball before reaching full eligibility to play in the National Basketball Association are wrong on nearly all account... except entertainment value.

Sure, Yao Ming is good for a laugh or two in credit card commercials. But where was the Chinese giant when his team needed him most?

Or, maybe, Yao was just where he needed to be - safely injured on the sidelines - in order for the Rockets to find the inspiration to catapult to the top of the West.

Losing more pennies than Charles Barkley after a weekend in Vegas, McCartney's ex-wife, Heather Mills, officially gets $48.6 million per the divorce settlement officially ruled on today.

All things considered â€" McCartney and Mills did have a 4-year-old together â€" pending further review into the numbers, Mills proved to be more productive for McCartney than Tejada for the O's.

Brett Fav-rah, you heartless brute, you. Didn't you know retiring from an adoring, groupie-filled league would have an adverse effect on the economy? Why didn't you think about others, sir, when deciding to hang up the stubble and cleats? The NFL Network is placing employees on the chopping block, all thanks to #4...

I heard the radio announcements, read the glowing, teary-eyed eulogies and can already picture the cheese-tastic Wisconsin parade upcoming. The thing is, I just don't believe Brett Favre has taken his last snap in the NFL.

He still has more linemen to taunt, young wanna-be gunslingers to harass, and reckless throws to make.

Way back in 2004, the Philadelphia Eagles conducted a very revealing study: "The Terrell Owens Experiment." The aim was to overcome a recent string of big, late-season losses (three-straight NFC Championship L's) by combining their jovial, fun-loving All-Pro leader and quarterback, Donovan McNabb, with a reputed team nuisance, All-Pro receiver, Terrell Owens. Years later, they have learned...

Would T.O. be able to share his quarterback? I think it's safe to assume that a receiver who sheds tears over his QB has serious potential to be somewhat like a clingy girlfriend on- and off the field.

And Moss, fresh off a QB break-up, would be on the rebound. His eyes would be wandering, looking for someone to replace Brady in his heart, at least temporarily...

At Tuesday night's political debate in Cleveland, Ohio, Democratic presidential hopeful Senator Hillary Clinton referred to a Saturday Night Live skit as she accused the media of providing "cushions" for her opponent, Sen. Barack Obama, instead of offering him tough, fair and balanced questions.

Up until Wednesday, Brian McNamee could have accused House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform members of the same charge. Now...

After comparing the differences between Terrell Suggs (franchise star) versus Ryan Leaf (franchise flop), do we still think the NFL Draft Combine is the best judge for who can make it on the pro-level?

Last night we saw creativity, showmanship and theatrics to last us for many years to come. When the smoke cleared, the biggest man in the competition, Dwight "Superman" Howard, emerged victorious. The last big man to have the same explosiveness and hops as Howard used to be my personal favorite player in the league, Shawn Kemp, before drugs, alcohol and baby mommas took over his life.

Maybe the Mavs are just trying to keep up with the Joneses (Lakers & Suns) by making a move — any move — for a big name to join them in the arms race out West. Not that Kidd isn't great — he most definitely is — but the apparent imbalance makes it believable that panic caused Mavs owner Mark Cuban to keep nodding his head as the Nets kept piling on the demand request (dessert) tray.

Somewhere in the Bay Area, Barry Bonds lounging with his feet up on the couch, his hands buried deep in popcorn and/or pretzels (not sure which is his junk food of choice) and laughing his large-domed tail off. In his mind, today's action on The Hill may be the best comedy of the year.

The search went on for what seemed like ages (33 days, to be exact) but the Skins claim to have their man. Many of us thought it best for the well-being of the franchise to promote someone within the organization. Well, they did. Sort of. It was more like, hiring someone, counting to ten and then... BAM!

Bedard sports a repertoire that includes a vicious mid-90's fastball, a baby hook he uses as an out pitch, along with a serviceable slider and change-up.Think those M's got a gem? Count on Safeco...
