- Amar'e Stoudemire will miss the next 8 to 12 weeks after surgery on his eye. Talk about coming completely out of no where. Apparently, Stoudemire got poked in the eye in the 1st quarter of the most recent Suns/Clippers "game". Then, he proceeded to continue playing, lowering his drawers on the Clippers, and deucing the Donald Sterlings for 42 points. Imagine how good he'll be against the Clip Crew once he's fully recovered from his superhero eye surgery.
- A semi-pro basketball team in New Jersey, the New Jersey Express, scored 171 points in a regulation game this past Sunday. The Express, a part of the ABA (yes, it still exists), didn't set any records with that score though. That belongs to the Detroit Pistons who scored 186 in a 3 OT game over the Nuggets (who pathetically could only muster 183). In related ABA news, there is a team in the Express' division that is called the New York City Internationalz. Not a typo.
- The trading deadline in the NBA passed without any real activity of note, besides the Bulls/Kings deal the day before. Michael Ruffin does get his first crack at life in the Northwest Division, so that's exciting.
- And finally, Alex Rodriguez has announced that nothing he said about steroids was true because it was, in fact, opposite day on the days he met with the media. But, if it was opposite day, and he's telling us now, does that mean it wasn't not opposite day then? More lies from A-Rod...
Please click on "opposite" for a laugh and "day" for a history.
NOT funny.
