The San Francisco Giants have now removed prominent tributes in the stadium to Barry Bonds The left-field wall no longer bears an image of Bonds chasing Hank Aaron for the home run crown, nor elsewhere is the number of Bonds' home runs in relation to Aaron posted. There are no "756" signs -- signifying the home run he hit to break Aaron's record -- anywhere in the park, in fact. A team spokeswoman said the Giants would put up a plaque to note where he had hit his last homer with the team.

Coach resigns after high school bans pregame prayer A spokeswoman for the district, Trish LaDuca, said students have the right to pray on school property during school events, but the prayer must be initiated by the students; otherwise it violates the law. "I'm not out preaching, I'm not a preacher," said Borden, who has led the football program for 23 years. He has a 116-100-1 career record, and his team won the Central Jersey Group IV championship in 2004.

TigerTown could win ESPN'S search for TitleTown! Could Massillon, Ohio be the winner in ESPN's quest for the one city to call Titletown? With submissions like these, and others as well, could Massillon top them all once again. Here is some more history of the Tigers, oops I mean T-I-G......E-R-S.

But good lord, ESPN gets to shit this time of year. Amen brother. I had it on in the background yesterday and heard Favre's name 6,549 times in two hours. Thank God for the internet. And this "Titletown" BS ... who the fuck cares? As Hal points out, it's either Boston or NYC, and I doubt anyone on either of those two cities give a damn what FAVRESPN thinks.
An Instant Classic "A rivalry between the league's two most storied franchises -- with some of the game's biggest names and biggest moments -- now has its biggest rally. No team had ever overcome more than a 15-point deficit after the first quarter, and Elias Sports Bureau said it was the biggest comeback in the finals since 1971. One thing's for sure, it will forever be remembered in the annals of Celtics-Lakers lore."

Newbie with great seats observes the game. Curt Schilling gets great court-side seats and shares his observations as a sports star, but basketball novice (after some comments about the Red Sox).

"I couldn't play in the NBA because about 43 times last night I heard things being said that would have made me swing at someone" no Schill, you can't play in the NBA because you are short, fat, slow and white. Now get your short, fat, slow white ass back on the mound. BTW, your daughter was texting me.

What would his numbers have been had he been relatively injury free? I did the math, and based on his games lost due to injury, and his game / HR ratio (every 5.23 games), he probably would have hit 114 more HR by now if his health was perfect. What yerfatma said. Injuries did cost him a chance at immortality. Sucks.
Ortiz goes on DL "His wrist will be immobilized in a cast for two weeks, and if it is healed by then, it should take about two weeks for Ortiz to get back into playing shape. Manager Terry Francona said it is "very unlikely" Ortiz will require surgery."

anyone who has suffered this injury and generally wouldn't cover power hitting professional baseball players. I agree. Everything I read leads to the same conclusion. I have to start learning to live without Papi for 08. Then if he comes back we'll party. I still don't know why he can't just bat with one hand, the big pussy. Jesus, just walk it off.

Manny to DH ... put either Coco or Ellsbury in left, let the band play on. Nothing would make me happier than to be *forced to move Ellsbury to left and DH Manny. Every time a ball is hit hard to left I hold my breath. And if the Red Sox pick up that lying, cheating piece of shit Bonds I swear to God I will become a Yankees fan overnight. wait ... is that possible? It would be like a sex change or something
Harkleroad fulfils naked ambition with Playboy shoot I had a hard time picking the category for this one, since it's not all that much about tennis, and spofi doesn't have a category for salacious. A 61st-ranked women's tennis player's who wasn't doing anything else at the moment further fuels the controversy of mixing court and camera.

I've been to Oklahoma once. It made an impression on me. So I would like to vote for the "Oklahoma Dirty and Nasties ..." if that is on the list. If not, whatever they choose is fine.
