After jumping out to a scorching one-game lead in the Atlantic Division with just 81 games left, the New York Knicks collapsed on Friday night to the 76ers 116-87.
If these were the only two teams in the division, the entire division would be tied at 1-1.

The Philadelphia Phillies took Game 5 on Wednesday night to take a seemingly insurmountable 4-1 lead in the World Series.
We look ahead to Game 6 where James Shields will take the mound for the Rays in Tampa.
“Teams have come back from 4-1 deficits before, we just have to take it one game at a time,” [...]

Torry Holt recently said that he’s surprised by his reduced role in the St. Louis Rams’ offense.
“Yeah, absolutely, I’m surprised,” Holt said through a Hungarian interpreter. “But I guess they feel that Donnie obviously has been stepping up and making some huge plays, and they want to continue to get him the football.”
Does Holt [...]

What do you get when a small-market team plays the Philadelphia Phillies in October?  You guessed it, the worst-rated, least-watched World Series of all-time.
In the past ten years, the five best-rated World Series’ were 1999 (16.0), 2004 (15.8), 2001 (15.7), 1998 (14.1), and 2003 (12.8).  Other than 2004 which featured the Boston Red Sox and St Louis [...]

Utah Jazz’ Deron Williams has been sidelined for the start of the NBA season with a sprained ankle. And he is annoying the bejesus out of his teammates. Yes, the bejesus.
During Wednesday’s game against Denver, apparently Deron spent most of the game chatting up a storm while sitting on the bench with his [...]

The Houston Rockets defeated the Dallas Mavericks last night 112-102 behind Yao Ming and Ron Artest’s combined 59 points.
Along with the win, Ron Ron was pleased with his behavior. He congratulated himself for his restraint from not fighting or cursing during an altercation between Yao Ming and Josh Howard.
“It happens,” Artest said. “No [...]

This story has been very bizarre and hopefully we will get all the answers shortly.  To catch us up to speed like Josh Howard in a drag race, on October 24th Isiah Thomas was taken to the hospital after overdosing on sleeping pills.  Apparently, all the sleeping pills he took while running the Knicks for [...]

Philadelphia was ready to celebrate their first championship in 25 years on Monday night.  The table was set with their ace on the mound and a 3-1 series lead.  Then the winds and rains came suspending not only the game, but a party and celebration only the Philadelphia faithful could host.  The snow and sleet arrived on Tuesday giving the [...]

Great idea Mr. sports fan. I don’t know if he’s a Rays fan or what. But just stupid to do in any city:

…to the point of passing out on a Hooters table. Thanks to our friends at TMZ.com (they know who we are) for tipping us off on this one.
John Daly drank so much at a North Carolina Hooters that the cops had to be called and they put him in a 24-hour sober tank. [...]

Randy Moss was limited in practice this week with a foot injury. This is the first we’ve heard of this. He should be fine, but keep an eye on that for fantasy reasons.

ESPN’s John Clayton reports that Daunte Culpepper and the Detroit Lions are in contract negotiations. It’s not known exactly whey the 0-7 Lions are looking for a QB since they have Joe-Montana-in-the-making Dan Orlovsky.
Culpepper hasn’t made any contract demands as of yet, but it seems that he’ll be a Lion at some point.

Danyelle Sargent didn’t do a ton of research before interviewing Mike Singletary on the sideline. In fact, we would conclude that she did none. Singletary was a Bear. Ditka would probably be his mentor. And as for talking to Bill Walsh? He probably hasn’t spoken to Bill since July 2007….when [...]

Here are some thoughts as to why the Phillies will and won’t win the World Series.

Bud Selig has announced that the continuation of Game 5 won’t be played until Wednesday night at 8:37pm.
With the rain scheduled to continue in Philly tonight, Selig surely doesn’t want to repeat the unmitigated debacle that occurred on Monday night.
The original game was allowed to go on far too long before being cancelled.
Sent from [...]

And here is why: Al Sharpton is demanding that the NY Post apologize for Steve Serby’s wording in a recent column that said “Good for Tom Coughlin. Good for Coughlin for tightening the noose around Plaxico Burress.”
“To make such a blatant racist statement about an African-American football player with a neck injury is completely unacceptable,” [...]

Defensive lineman Brett Keisel says that he read Eli Manning’s lips in the huddle before the fourth down rushing attempt by Brandon Jacobs. Incidentally, Jacobs was stuffed at the goal line.
“I was watching Eli’s lips the whole time and I saw him say, ‘32,’ so I went over and tried to tell everyone, ‘It’s [...]

We never saw this before. In case you haven’t, here you go. Danyelle Sargent has an interesting comment towards the end. She clearly didn’t know she was on air:

Michael Silver of Yahoo! Sports has an interesting article on Mike Singletary and his tirade regarding players who are cancers.
Apparently, Singletary ripped his team a new one in the locker following their embarrassing 34-13 loss to the Seahawks.
“It was pretty heated in here,” one veteran said. “What he said was true, and it wasn’t [...]

Chiefs RB Larry Johnson has been formally charged with simple assault after allegedly spitting his drink in a woman’s face in a local nightclub back in February.
This is the fourth time in five years that Johnson has been accused of assaulting a woman. He is facing discipline from the NFL for violating the Personal [...]

Let’s hope he does this every week. If Mike Singletary is being completely truthful, and we believe that he is, shouldn’t Vernon Davis be about 15 minutes from being cut? The whole rant is pretty good:

The Phillies have taken a 3-1 lead on the Tampa Bay Rays after lambasting them 10-2 on Sunday night in Philly.
Sonnenstine was not himself and Carlos Pena and Evan Longoria continue to struggle. But Phillies fans don’t care. They will take it anyway they can.
Cole Hamels takes the mound [...]

Plaxico Burress didn’t start today against the Steelers and didn’t make it into the game until 18 minutes in. What a moron.
He was benched for missing a treatment sessions for his neck this week. He could be fined and suspended again. Stay tuned.

Thanks to our friends at TMZ.com (they know who we are) for tipping us off on this one. Former boxer Floyd Cummings has filed a lawsuit against ESPN Classic for broadcasting his fight with Joe Frazier (Frazier’s last opponent).
In the suit, Cummings said that ESPN Classic sought to “annihilate and destroy the [...]

Thanks to Fooks for tipping us off on this one. This is an actual article in a Tampa Bay newspaper to help educate the local “fans” on baseball. For all you die-hard Phillies fans out there, this is the fan base you might lose to:
BATTING AVERAGE: The standard numerical measure of a player’s [...]

The recent citation of Pittsburgh WR Santonio Holmes has prompted us to bring back the name PFT gave him: Santurdio. He got the name because after he was drafted in 2006, he kept getting arrested.
And after being on the straight and narrow for a few years, he screwed up again by [...]

Daunte Culpepper could be returning to the NFL if anyone decides to sign him. He’s been saying for a while that he’s happy being retired. Maybe he was trying some reverse psychology? Anyway, it didn’t work and now he releases this statement to the media:
“A number of teams have contacted me since [...]
