NBA-powered U.S. team finally falls: The basketball universe changed forever Wednesday night. Argentina pulled off a victory that until recently was considered nearly impossible, defeating the United States 87-80 in the World Championships. It was the first loss for a U.S. team in 59 games since the Americans began sending NBA players to international tournaments in 1992.

Rocker Sent to Minors by Rangers: "John Rocker and his troubled career are headed to the minor leagues. The left-hander was optioned to the minors early Wednesday, hours after he blew a save for the Texas Rangers in the 10th inning against the Anaheim Angels." "It's a disappointment for him," Rocker's agent, Joe Sambito, said.

Tiger Woods successfully defends his title
Jack Nicklaus and Nick Faldo have some company in their ultra-exclusive fraternity. Tiger Woods cruised to his third green jacket -- and seventh major -- today, shooting a steely 71 at Augusta National to join Nicklaus (1965-66) and Faldo (1989-90) as the only repeat winners of the Masters. Tiger has certainly positioned himself as one of the best to ever play the game.

ESPN is looking to expand their viewership with the networks' first original movie. The made for TV film "A Season on the Brink" stars Brian Dennehy as the legendary and incendiary Indiana Hoosiers basketball coach Bobby Knight. With (parent company) Disney's back up, I think this will be a move in the right direction for the network as long as they keep the film projects original and relevant.

Reminds me of the story of Larry Alford II , a nationally-ranked junior golfer who lost his arm in an automobile accident. This only proved to be a minor setback as he has continued to strive toward competing professionally on tour.

Brilliant! sort of like a modern day tale of ordinary folks "seizing the day" and making their lives extraordinary.

"Fighting whities" is not at all offensive, but perhaps if they called the team the "Lynching Whities" with a picture of a guy holding a noose, then that might be a problem.

The latest report says that Rivera is actually Surprised at the decision the Yankees made to cut him. Go figure.

I think that there’s an equally large amount of very successful blacks in business, the sciences the arts etc. But since the media for the most part elevates and glorifies athletics, sports and entertainment through massive advertising and promotion, many young black kids, as a result, are instilled with the false perception that the best way to move up is through those mediums.

I think of this as more of a spectacle or circus.

Danostuporstar, You're reading too much into the post. This is a legitimate debate that has been going on for years and I feel that it is worthy of inquiry. And since it relates to one of the great sports magazines, I feel that it is appropriate to discuss. For those that are wondering "what debate" Here are just a few of the links where the debate or those with opposing view points concerning the subject can be found. HERE .... HERE ... HERE ... HERE . Those that oppose feel that it is women's athletic achievements that should be glorified rather than reducing women to body parts. You can either agree or disagree, everyone is entitled to an opinion. But think first before you put your foot in your mouth.

Only time will tell, Even if the torch is passed, he has a long way to go. He will have to maintain his level of play and leadership for years to come in order to live up to the MJ legacy.

Unfortunately, even if the judges are found to be in collusion after a review of the incident, the Russians will not be stripped of their gold medal. The worst that can happen is that the judges will be suspended.
