Shaq just seems absolutely obsessed with Kobe. Does he really think about him that much? It seems like it has gone past feuding and borders on obsession.

Long before the SpoFi debates over whether something was a sport, I remember, as a kid in the '70's, watching WWOS and just accepting that cliff-diving, jai alai and drag racing were sports. I mean, they were featured on WWOS, so they must be sports.

"This fella, Ronaldo, he's a cod" RTE's TV pundits show they really don't like Cristiano Ronaldo (via). Why does he seem to polarise opinion in a way that other players don't?

Gun Massacre Planned at Super Bowl A distraught Tempe man was within sight of the Super Bowl on Sunday with an assault rifle, but a change of heart kept him from his plan to unload 200 rounds of ammunition on the crowd, court records show. "I will test the theory that bullets speak louder than words," Kurt William Havelock wrote in a manifesto sent to the media before the planned massacre. "I will slay your children. I will shed the blood of the innocent,” Havelock wrote after being denied a liquor license for a bar. "No one destroys my dream. No one."

Wow. This would seem to have the potential for having gone horribly bad. Not addressed in the article is whether the visible security at the game and nearby facilities weighed on his decision to not follow through. Whatever the reason it is just fortunate that he both backed out and peaceably turned himself in.

owlhouse, it was a business dispute and only tangentially involves alcohol. Like Ying Yang Mafia said, there was no indication of mental illness. I'll add that there is, from the news reports, no indication of his being drunk.

City councils have pissed off people before. Marvin Heemeyer in Colorado a few years ago turned a bulldozer into a tank and took out the town hall among other buildings.

Suns go from Run and Gun to Ground and Pound Heat trade Shaquille O'Neal to Phoenix for Shawn Marion and Marcus Banks, pending an MRI of Shaq's left hip.

posted to Basketball at 9:04 AM CDT

Shaq is notoriously less-than-motivated during the regular season and it seems that he needs a trade every few years to light a fire under his ass. Expect his health to improve and his contribution to be significant.

Ufez is counting on it.
