Pacquiao camp is throwing dirt at Mayweather for their refusal to allow Manny to skip drug testing. They've gone as far as accusing Floyd of being a coward and not wanting the fight and suggest not allowing a waiver to drug testing is his out.

Apparently Manny is sharing his dope with the rest of the Pacquiao camp including promoter Bob Arum.

For all the stick I gave him in the past (and a little in the present), Doc Rivers can draw up an inbounds play.

Nothin' like gettin' Rondo'd at the buzzer!

That was a nice inbounds play. Option #1 all the way!

An Eagles employee has apologized for spitting on the Cowboys' star in a video he produced for the team's web site. If loving the Eagles is wrong, Dave Spadaro doesn't want to be right. "I admit I get carried away with my love of the Philadelphia Eagles, and if this is a crime, I am clearly guilty," he wrote.

Former NHL coach Pat Burns says that Tiger Woods' wife knocked two of his teeth out with a nine iron during the night he crashed his Escalade.

In other Woods news, a reader reminded me that my new Java book includes an unfortunate sentence: "Java is the Tiger Woods of programming languages."

I did not mean that Java is a language that hungers for extramarital sexual encounters to overcompensate for feelings of inadequacy.

Looks like you could replace Pat Burns as an interview guest by just reading email forwards you've received, because that's apparently what Pat was doing.

Java is the Tiger Woods of programming languages.

I'm knee deep developing a Java app (android) right now, and have to say I make Java look like Judge Smails.
