Morning! Rich-Rod is a liar!

Let me ask you a serious question. If your wife and kids were physically threatened, would you try to protect them by going to police? Or would you just tell reporters from out-of-state newspapers and hope the threats were bogus? I'm not calling Rich Rodriguez a liar but ... oh. Right. The headline. I guess I already did.

Speaking of reasonable questions, here's another one: Does Mike Mussina's career become Hall-worthy when you consider he did it clean (he says ... and we agree) in a dirty era?

Speaking of the Yankees, here's another one: They changed the name of their spring home from a legend to a buffoon.

As if that crafty Coach K needed any help, he has been getting ideas from his time as the U.S. Olympics coach and using them to help Duke overachieve this season. Was that a nice sentence about Duke? By golly I believe it was.

Darius Miles can't make a basket, but he can still make it rain. I think I despise Darius Miles. And Dennis Dixon, pick a new role model you impressionable little knucklehead.

Holy crap I read this headline and I thought Zach Thomas died.

Turns out Thomas is alive and well, though he's about to make a date with the devil. The devil wears a hoodie.

Indiana is now officially trying to find a reason to fire Kelvin Sampson. I kind of thought Indiana already had that reason, but whatever. Any effort to replace Sampson with Mr. Clean, Dan Dakich, is a step in the right direction.

Pssst. Indiana! Here's your reason.

WEC welterweight champion Carlos Condit would like to unify his belt one day with the UFC champion. Part of me says that's like a member of the Durham Bulls wanting to face Johan Santana. But part of me thinks Condit can compete at the highest level.

Morning! Zach Randolph (says he) is innocent!

What deranged loser would get in trouble with police in Portland and think it's a good idea to tell the police he's Zach Randolph?

Pro sports are so crazy now that even the team officials who do nothing but negotiate contracts need an agent to negotiate their own contract.

Nice gut here on Red Sox ace Josh Beckett. He's more and more like the Babe every day.

Dud alert: Hollywood is thinking of making that steroids book on Barry Bonds -- which reads like a college science text -- into a movie.

USC guard Daniel Hackett is out for the season, but this time it has nothing to do with O.J. Mayo. I think.

 How big of a sleeze do you have to be, as a player, for Kelvin Sampson to kick you off the team?

 If you didn't watch the big WEC card last night -- and you didn't; nobody has Versus -- you (we) missed one hell of a show.

Here's a lovely picture of the chokeout move in the WEC's main event.

East Coast bias

Why does the NBA bother to have an Eastern Conference? Just contract, eliminate half the league's teams and let the best of the West -- which is to say, the best of the best -- have it out for the NBA title.

Every week brings another news item that makes the Eastern Conference even more irrelevent. You had the Lakers outflanking the Bulls for Pau Gasol. Then you had Miami trading Shaquile O'Neal to the Suns, and while the Heat got Shawn Marion, they won't have him for long. Soon he'll get out of his deal and come back to the West.

Now you have the Nets trading Jason Kidd to Dallas for Devin Harris, who is a nice player but will never be a star.

This is in addition to Portland and Seattle winning the last draft lottery and landing Kevin Durant and Greg Oden. And Denver's acquisition of Allen Iverson from Philadelphia.

Good thing the Celtics traded for Kevin Garnett. Otherwise we'd be looking at Cleveland enduring another Western Conference sweep of the NBA Finals, against Portland or Dallas or Phoenix or Los Angeles or New Orleans or San Antonio.

Or Utah or Denver or ...

For the love of God call it off

I'm watching Roger Clemens get eviscerated on television, and I have to tell you, this is hard to watch. It's like watching a boxer get his teeth knocked out and his eyes puffed beyond recognition and his nose smashed ... yet he refuses to go down, and nobody will throw in the towel.

Clemens looks so guilty. He looks so bad. This is like watching a car crash. I can't stop looking, but it's making me nauseous.
