Kobe Bryant became the fifth player and the youngest to reach the 30,000 career point plateau in last night's Lakers win in New Orleans. The other four? Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Karl Malone, Michael Jordan and Wilt Chamberlain.
It took professional wrestling some 80 years to finally admit it's fake. How long will it take Sammy Sosa?
Athletes are perfectly positioned on high school campuses to help stop bullying when it starts.
This cannot be repeated often enough. The public should never, ever pay for a stadium or arena for a pro sports team again.
