I fight because it's my job, not because I like it.

Not an NHL fighter, but an NHL game.

NBA source says Ron Artest to be traded to Rockets

A couple of predictions from SactownRoyalty, # Ron Artest will receive a loud, positive ovation when he first returns here. # Bobby Jackson's first ovation will be louder and longer. assuming that Bobby Jackson is still on the roster come opening day . . .

NBA source says Ron Artest to be traded to Rockets

Sacramento Bee, today's Sports page headline, "He's a Rocket, Man" is reminiscent of the awesome that is Shatner.

NBA source says Ron Artest to be traded to Rockets

One incident? One incident that made the national press. Ron Artest has been involved in domestic issues as well as a nationally reported case of animal cruelty. I think this is a good move for Houston. Artest has shown signs of maturing. How he handles not being the third option will be interesting.

NBA source says Ron Artest to be traded to Rockets

Watch as Artest matures and thrives under Adelman. I'm surprised, and a little disappointed, that Petrie sent him to a team so close to the upper echelon. I would have much preferred banishment to Memphis or somewhere. It will be interesting to see how he handles being the third(?) option. In Petrie We Trust.

You can't do without Shaq!

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.

Sports Broadcasting Legend Jim McKay Dies

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.
