Michael Jord . . .ahh, forget it. Yeah, he's coming back, but more importantly, the Jerry Stackhouse trade slipped by me. Reading this story you have to wonder if Jordan has taken his game to a different level, it seems that there's been a real push to clear the salary cap for next year. So what's going on?

Instant Replay In the NBA? It's an ESPN link but the idea of more stoppages during a b-ball game sends shudders down my spine. If there was a way to make me watch less pro basketball this would be it.

New England By the Numbers The New England Patriots are not only 8-0 but also 8-0 against the spread, SportsFilter columnist Kyrilmitch_76 observes in his look at tomorrow's NFL games. "New England has beaten their opponents by an average of 41.4 to 15.9 and they have beaten the spread by an average of over 14 points per game."

This is it This is the game that everyone waits for. This is the ultimate. This is why we watch sports. A game 86 years in the making. They got to seven the hard way. Now let's play the game. The Boston Red Sox play the New York Yankees in a game that will decide the fate of the universe.

Uh, about those playoff rules...we've changed them. David Stern announced that the NBA has decided to expand its first round of playoffs from a best-of-five to a best-of-seven series starting this season. Doesn't it seem odd for a league to change the format for determining its champion in the middle of the season?

Any word on whether this extends the playoff season? I always thought basketball in June was just wrong.

Ten Reasons Why the Nets Will Win the 2002 NBA Finals. Okay, so they looked awful last night, but let us not lose hope that the Nets will show up and compete. BTW, Joe Netsfan is a brilliant New Jersey Nets fan site. If you're going to build a fan site, it should look and work like this (clean design, fresh content, informative, and entertaining).

Nope, a team cannot survive on heart alone. If last year's 76'ers couldn't do it, and this year's Sacramento Kings couldn't do it, then I don't see the Nets doing it. It is a cliche, but the Kings-Lakers series *was* the NBA finals. I'm not even planning on watching the Nets play, the sad tale in the sports column will suffice, thank you.

"I'm going to play ... "I'm going to play aggressive. If they call (Game 7) like they're supposed to call it, the outcome will be the same it was (on Friday). You've got to foul me to stop me. Period." -- Shaquille O'Neal, promising to do a bang-up job when the Western Conference decides tonight which team will cut down the Nets.

Sigh... As much as I'd like to see the Nets win, I just can't see it happening. Who's going to compete with Shaq in the middle? I see him averaging 30 points a game. The Laker's role players are running at full steam now. Kobe and Jason Kidd cancel each other out. Another year of the Lakers on top.

Game just went into overtime, this is shaping up to be a phenomenal game. As far as the refs, I can't tell you how happy it made me to see them call a foul on Kobe in the last 10 seconds. Of course he had to complain like it was the end of the world. Try as I might I can't find much to like about him (except that he is a great player).

Game's about to start- the fact that "the refs" seem to be such a factor is really sad. Please, just let the officiating be consistent. I.E. that elbow that Kobe Bryant gave Bibby at the end of game 6 should have been called an offensive foul, no matter what point in the game, who the player is, inadvertant or not. Sacramento seems a little tense as they start out, they need to chill out!

Michael Jordan walks on water (or comes really, really close). The Wizards are 26-21 and in third place in the Atlantic division. This same sorry team was 19-63 last year. It seems the initial sentiment of sports punditry was that he would "tarnish his legacy", then modified to "it'll be fun, but nothing will come out of it". If the Wizards just make the playoffs the legend of MJ will grow even larger (if such a thing is possible).

Well, that *would* surprise me. Don't get me wrong, MJ is my favorite player to watch and it's amazing what he's done but there won't be any title in Washington this year. My favorite part of this whole thing is how he's showed up all those sportswriters who wrote some seriously vindictive, nasty copy about his return. It seems like a peculiarly American phenomenon, this need to rip down idols and heros. I mean, geez, the guy just likes to play.

Bledsoe or Brady? Go with experience or the one who brought you this far? Someone's going to be looking on from the sidelines. Belichick says he'll wait until wednesday to make the decision, but some think the decision has already been made.

Here in Beantown, it was interesting to see an interview with Steve Grogan, former Pat quarterback. He's been in both places in his career; first as young upstart who takes the #1 spot and then as seasoned veteran who loses his job to new guy. FWIW, he said go with Brady. The offense is used to him and if he's healthy then he's still #1 choice. Belichick is trying to use this as an edge. I'm from New England and lord knows he needs all the help he can get . . .

Familyman, you definitely see what you want to see, what the Patriots did was illegal and stupid but it did not influence that game, the tape was confiscated by officials in the first quarter before anyone actually viewed it. The Jets are currently 1-8, so I don't think they had much of a chance. So today they beat your Colts which I guess means they are a really good team and haven't just been beating up on bad teams, right?
