the New Orleans/Oklahoma City Hornets, a year or two back in the NBA?

If anyone has any input for any of the All-Star weekend events. Thunder Dan Majerle playing in the celebrity game!

You all may have seen it, but a nasty run by Peyton, culminating with an absolute truck over safety Bernard Pollard.

I'm a big-time insomniac, so I'm usually up for one of the late night talk shows. I like the background noise, but as soon as I saw Joaquin in that condition, I had to watch.

John Stockton and Michael Jordan headline this year's Naismith class, along with David Robinson. Jordan and Stockton are absolute locks. Any thoughts on the others on the list (in this article)?

Dirk drops 37 while being "defended" by Kevin Garnett. Ultimately a losing effort for the Mavs, though.

Thoughts about Peyton from Broncos center Casey Wiegmann. Nice.

I saw this. Joaquin was almost unrecognizable with the beard, wearing all black with sunglasses. He was disturbingly subdued, giving one-word answers for most of Letterman's questions. The audience was laughing, which I thought was awkwardly inappropriate. I also think Letterman was concerned a...

I'd love to hate the Nats with you, but as of this moment, they start more everyday white players than my hometown Phillies. Yuck. The Seattle Mariners are reportedly close to a deal with free agent centerfielder Ken Griffey Jr. I assume it'll be a one-year deal. The Atlanta Braves are...

Yeah, they were the main event. A really good band called Reverend Peyton's Big Damn Band opened for them. They were a bluegrass-hard rock band, with just a drummer guitarist/singer and washboard player. Look them up, they were awesome.

I saw Flogging Molly live in Atlantic City, and it was seriously one of the greatest moments of my entire life. I've been a huge fan of theirs for years. Lot of Irish-looking people there. I stuck out like a sore thumb.

Updated. The LA Angels have signed outfielder Bobby Abreu to a one-year deal.Edited by: PhillyBirds

USA downs Mexico, 2-0.

The place looks packed with US fans. Just watched them erupt after the set-piece goal.

BREAKING: Adam Dunn agrees to a two-year deal with the Washington Nationals. Monetary terms of the deal have not yet been disclosed.

To Hampton's credit, making the pitching transition to Coors Field wouldn't be easy on anyone.

Thanks, Toronto. I didn't initially look at the credentials of the Eagles' signings, but now that I do there are some impressive stats there.

The Phillies projected starting lineup for 2009 only includes two white everyday players, three if you consider Victorino white. Yuck. And to think, I was this disgusted at the Angels last season. 1. Jimmy Rollins, SS 2. Chase Utley, 2B 3. Ryan Howard, 1B 4. Raul Ibanez, LF 5. Jayson...

The Eagles made some similar signings recently. I had no idea it was common practice for NFL teams to raid the CFL for mediocre black athletes. What are Tre Smith and Jesse Lumsden up to these days, I wonder?

Updated. The LA Angels have reached an agreement with free agent outfielder Bobby Abreu. 1yr/~$5 million. Don, maybe Barry Zito? His lack of success is somewhat overblown, but for the kind of money he was paid...

Thanks, whiteCB. Figured I'd end up missing someone .

Updated. Brewers signed SP Braden Looper, adding another high innings, low strikeout guy to their rotation. The Dodgers are still intent on signing Manny Ramirez, although discussions on an agreeable contract have not made much progress. This news pales in comparison to A-Rod, though.

I was about to post this. My grandmother is in a Catholic home and all of my visits have pleasantly surprised me by the apparent care shown to the occupants. The clergymen and women are also a reassurance, sort of acting as "quality control", so to speak. I certainly don't speak for all...

Offensive tackle Jon Runyan underwent microfracture knee surgery and will require 4-6 months of rehabilitation. Runyan is also eligible for free agency. I hope he rehabs in time to come back and doesn't retire! One of the league's last great old-school warriors, Runyan is always a blast to...

Apparently, people still believe uber-disappointing Andruw Jones is worth something. He signed with the Texas Rangers. Ben Sheets will undergo shoulder surgery, sidelining him until at least July. It's also possible he will shut himself down for the entire 2009 season. Also, Ryan Howard...
