It’s been said for a long time, but it bears repeating. The NBA Western Conference is really tough. If the Denver Nuggets win two of their last three and the Golden State Warriors win out their final three games, then it would be the first time in NBA history that a 50-win team would miss the playoffs. The unfortunate recipient of that dubious record would be the Warriors. But let’s get to the Lakers.......

NFL playoffs are here! Which means that Superbowl XLII is right around the corner. This year's Superbowl is going to be played in Arizona on February 3, 2007 and it was recently announced that Tom Petty will be playing the halftime show.

Colorado and San Diego played 162 games and they had to play an extra game last night to settle their tie. The game went into 13 innings. Totally exciting, totally awesome, a classic game. But when Brian Giles threw home to Michael Barrett, Barrett......

The San Diego Padres and the Colorado Rockies each played 162 games and needed one more game to decide who would clinch the wild card. And both teams played like they wanted to win it. I decided early on that I would cheer for the Rockies. I mean since the Dodgers decided to tank in the last two weeks of the season and give the Rockies seven of their 13 wins, the Rockies better......
