Interesting trend in the NBA: Home teams have won 19 of 20 games so far in the playoffs' second round. Well, sure. Guys sleep much better at home with their wives than on the road with their mistresses.

Very nice Pete

Charles Barkley could face felony charges if he fails to repay a $400,000 debt to a Las Vegas casino.
Barkley has recouped all of the money aside from the $40k in singles he lent to Pacman Jones

Uncle Ben - Data Monkey | 05/15/08, 02:31 PM

Barkley didn't know he owed the money, he thought Dwayne Wade had already paid it.

I'll never forget the headline from the Rick Reilly column (what ever happened to him, by the way?) that read, "The only NBA player who has never scored."

Anthony Verna | 05/15/08, 02:35 PM

Barkley maintains that it was actually Frank Caliendo who took out the markers

The longest scoreless streak in all of sports, of course, still belongs to former Laker A.C. Green.

So much for going a full page without inuendo.

The Knicks have reportedly sent Isiah Thomas to Europe on a scouting trip.

Upon arrival, Isiah was heard to say "Quoi? Pas d'amour?"

I take it this means the innuendo ban is over?

Oh, and the Indians streak ended a few hours ago.

Charles sought to delay the charges until the outcome of the Cavs/Celtics series, as he "doubled or nothing" with the same Casino.

So AC Green was basketball's "Iron Man"...... is that a reference to his consecutive game streak or the composition of his chastity belt?

The Knicks have reportedly sent Isiah Thomas to Europe on a scouting trip.

He was greeted with derisive cries of "Now go away, you filthy American Knickket!"

Martel - Moopsbane | 05/15/08, 02:40 PM

If he was paying better attention, Isiah might have noticed that it was a one way ticket.

Kentucky Derby champ Big Brown is a prohibitive favorite (at 1-2 odds) to win Saturday's Preakness. There hasn't been a lock like this since the undefeated Patriots won the Super Bowl ... wait a second ...

Really, imagine if there had been an NHL game there yesterday -- that poor NYU kid would have been slashed to bits.

Actually it's another reason why he wore the boxers....

and it probably would have made sliding into home a lot faster and easier though
