FINALLY!:

REALITY HOOPS NEWS OF THE DAY:

Isiah has finally been put out of our misery.

FANTASY HOOP NEWS OF THE DAY:

Theodore Vegas officially wins the championship of his rotisserie league--beating 6 time defending champ Danny B. in a tightly fought and widely followed finals match-up using only one thumb! He has been wearing his invisible crown all day and accepting congratulatory calls from all over the country--many of them collect. He is indebted to all the people who believed in him even when things weren't looking so good. And reserves special gratitude for late season waiver wire pick-ups John Salmons, Elton Brand and Ramon Sessions, Oh, Ramon Sessions!!!!!! The man who provided me with some unforgettably pleasurable statistical sessions over the course of the last week!

Hoopic heaven, baby. Hoopic heaven.

More on the Pope, Obama, the NBA playoffs and some other stuff coming soon.
