Here are some items as you wonder whether the Celtics can win a title without winning a single playoff game on the road:
• The Boston Herald has apologized to the Patriots for its Feb. 2 story that a tape existed of the Rams' walkthrough before Super Bowl XXXVI. In fact, the Herald now says, the tape shows who really killed JFK.
• Still, Sen. Arlen Specter is not convinced that Spygate is over, calling for an independent probe of the Patriots' taping methods similar to baseball's Mitchell Report. Specter was promptly sued by Roger Clemens.
• Barry Bonds has a new indictment, this one for 14 counts of perjury rather than the four counts in the original one. Hey, say what you want about the guy, but he can still put up big numbers.
• Spurs forward Robert Horry set an NBA record Tuesday night by appearing in his 238th playoff game, breaking the mark held by Hall of Fame center Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. Though Horry says he's really after the scoring record held by Wilt Chamberlain.
• New Knicks coach Mike D'Antoni insisted at his introductory press conference Tuesday that he will win games immediately with the current team roster. You might not have heard much about his brave boast, though, because the assembled media was instantly transfixed by the pig soaring over Madison Square Garden.
• Michigan football coach Rich Rodriguez, who's still fighting with West Virginia over the $4 million buyout in his old contract, says he never wanted to agree to that clause. But Rodriguez says he was pressured by the governor of West Virginia and three school trustees to sign the deal. Apparently they threatened to set all his couches on fire, and he'd been in Morgantown long enough to know they were serious.

-----------------------
This coincided nicely with the fact that ten more teams said they didn't want to sign Bonds.
