Ralph Nader is a former Presidential candidate and one of the most prominent politicians of his generation, but no one would know it. While he is cool, calm, collected, and always sharply dressed, Nader is essentially what all politicians are not—aware, concerned, and for the people.

Los Angeles Clippers head idiot coach Mike Dunleavy has decided to resign.

"I've come to the conclusion that this is the ideal time for me to direct my efforts toward the many personnel opportunities that lie before us, such as the trade market, the draft and the free-agent process. We fully expect to be active and productive on all those fronts."

The Clippers began play Thursday with the 12th-best record in the Western Conference, seven games out of a playoff spot at 21-28.

David Blaine and David Copperfield are magicians who made a fortune by mastering in the art of optical illusions, or deceiving an audience into believing that they see something that does not exist.

It's a clever ruse, but is simple in concept because the human brain processes information in a way that is pleasing to the individual.

In other words, we hear and see in a manner that is more favorable to our own point of view, we see what we want to see.

The Associated Press is now reporting Oden is likely done for the year with a fractured patella. The Trail Blazers said Oden will undergo surgery.

SALT LAKE CITY — Jazz coach Jerry Sloan has signed a deal to return next year for his 23rd season as Utah’s head coach.

The team announced the deal Wednesday.

The 67-year-old Sloan, inducted into the Hall of Fame in September, is the longest-tenured active coach in major professional sports.

He’s also the longest-tenured coach in NBA history and helped the Jazz reach consecutive NBA finals in 1997-98. Last season, he became the first NBA coach to win 1,000 games with one franchise.

Don't worry, kids. There's enough Jack Daniels to go around...

Los Angeles Lakers forward Ron Artest is not new to controversy. He was the main catalyst of "The Malice at The Palace" five years ago between the Detroit Pistons, Indiana Pacers, and the fans in attendance that awful night in Auburn.

Just when you thought the "me first" culture in New York Knicks basketball was changing, post-Isiah Thomas era, THINK AGAIN!


Knicks president Donnie Walsh claims that his team will at least look into signing the recently-waived guard Allen Iverson. Yes, A.I.'s tenure with the Memphis Grizzlies is done already. Go figure.

AP

Milwaukee Bucks rookie guard Brandon Jennings scored 55 points in a come-from-behind 129-125 victory Saturday against the Golden State Warriors (3-6). Jennings not only had a career high, along with the victory, but something historic—a record.

His 55 points broke Hall of Famer Kareem Abdul-Jabbar's franchise rookie record. Talk about filling some HUGE shoes! He was just two points shy of injured guard Michael Redd's total franchise record of 57.
