During the Jay Glazer update (really the only reason to bother with the show), he mentioned that the Redskins were already putting the peices in place to make a run at Mike Shanahan after the season.  Nothing particularly surprising about that (never mind that the Washington players are killing themselves trying to save Zorn's job, something that Dan Snyder clearly doesn't comprehend).

There seems to be a lot of distress and handwringing over the moves (or lack thereof) that the Mavs have made in the off-season so far, and I'm not quite sure why...

As a Mavericks fan, I'd just like to pass on my congragulations and good wishes to the Nuggets as they move on in the playoffs.

Scattershooting while wondering if Walter Bond ever actually did get twenty shots in a game.

(Bonus points for anyone who gets that reference, and still remembers Blackie Sherrod.)

Been wondering how Chauncey Billups and the Nuggets were able to make such short work of the Hornets?  65.5% explains a whole lot.

When I heard a few fans say it, I assumed that it was a matter of jealousy.  When Don Shula said it, I figured he was just miffed that he might lose his place in NFL history as the coach of the only ever undefeated team.
