Let's all have a moment of silence for Yinka Dare, the Nets' first round pick in 1994. Dare died Friday at the age of 32. His brief obit mentions that he had 4 career assists, in 112 games played; none in his first two seasons.

Former Major Leaguer Ivan Calderon : shot dead in a store in his hometown of Lozia, Puerto Rico. Looks like a gang hit to me.

Knicks sign Wilkens to coach

I don't think it's the coach's fault here -- Red Auerbach couldn't win with this group of Knicks. If you think anyone out there could give Keith Van Horn more presence in the paint, Michael Doleac a jumpshot, or Allen Houston a personality, I dare you to hire them.

"...right now, if you were to ask me will there be hockey next season, I'd say absolutely not."

Somebody must have Gary Bettman's home phone number. Right? :)

Dan Marino is back with the Dolphins.

Yeah, like Dan-o actually understands the intricacies of the salary cap.

Clemens un-retires.

He's a publicity whore anyway. Not nearly as bad as Mr. Rose, but I agree with Jerseygirl. Anything to further himself. Of course he's still a good pitcher, but still. Anyone want to bet on his line in '04? I vote for 12-6, 3.50 era, 150 k in 150 innings.

Ok, I get sending a message to Joe Horn ...

I don't think fine parity has hit the Houston Astr ... er ... Texans yet. So Taggy needed to make up for it somehow.
