...Did You Know?

---- That ESPN's website might as well be in braille. It's impossible to get anywhere quickly, and 90% of the stuff is off limits. Come on, Worldwide Leader. (EDIT: SI.com, too. What's next? FJM.com (FireJoeMorgan.com [the ex-Red, not the ex-Red Sox ] )? Their graphics department is overworked already, goshdarnitall.)

---- That the Era of "Wicks and Rowe" doesn't look half bad about now for Celtic fans. ("Ricks and Woe?")

---- Tracy McGrady is playing some damn ball.

---- Boston College athletics, as the city's fifth franchise, has given New England a lot of special memories. More than their share, considering they make most of the kids study. We remember...
...Penn State and 'Bama going down out in Foxboro.
...Glenn Foley almost taking out Miami on a Thursday evening late in the year.
...Army up late. Flutie. BC wins! (on our radio)
...The noise at Roberts Center on Saturday afternoons, with the sunlight in players eyes (yes, it's true).
...Dana, from all over the place at Pitt's crappy old gym. He. Could. Not. Miss.
...The Eagles winning big at Conte Forum for Skinner. Troy Bell exploding freshman year, and leading sophomore year.
...DeOssie with the short arms and big heart. Ruth too.
...Adams off the bench, through DePaul's legs, and into a long NBA run. He was a thrill.
...Shawn Halloran trying hard. And succeeding, pretty much. Man, he threw a pretty ball.
...Two basketball teams that were loved in Mass, but could easily have been fondly remembered around the country. 83 = They should have been in the Pit, though you can't much argue with what went down. 85 = They should have made it Four at the Rupp FF from the nastiest conference ever.

...We don't know the what's and the why's, but Iona's Jeff Ruland, from a distance, deserves another year at least.

...Lance Thomas apparently doesn't like to pass very much. Nice choice, kid.

...This Coach deserves a coordinator's job if he wants one.


What else. What else.

...Do not throw this dear woman any "surprise" parties for any reason. She is America.

...Broken bones from taking antidepressants? Shit, not a surprise. They have quotas to meet in those psych wards, don't they? Or are they just paid by the wound?

...Financing pectoral implants and liposuction? Yes, it's just that easy!
