In the NBA, They're Master Tradesmen- April 23, 2005 I turned on the NBA the other day -- I hadn't watched a game since the Pistons-Pacers brawl, not in protest or anything, but because my TiVo only has a 35-hour capacity and most of that is taken up by Medical Hair Restoration infomercials -- and, well, nothing seemed to be in place.http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A12208-2005Mar6.html?nav=rss_sports/columns/... For Coaches, Pro Is the Way to Go- April 23, 2005 Dennis Erickson, Butch Davis and Steve Spurrier -- each of whom ran national championship-caliber programs as college coaches -- have been busts in the NFL.

Down With Duke- April 23, 2005 Every year on Selection Sunday, I make my own choice: Anyone but Duke.http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A32015-2005Mar13.html?nav=rss_sports/columns... Cold Comfort- April 23, 2005 Boy, it was cold out there yesterday. It was the type of cold that drives some men to drink, others to divorce.

Talking Loud and Saying Nothing- April 23, 2005 Back in the day -- and sometimes in the night -- I wore a black porkpie hat. I cut quite a figure there for a while. But then along came cable, and middle age, and, well, just like my childhood, kids were making fun of me all over again.http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A52056-2005Mar20.html?nav=rss_sports/columns... NBA: No Boys Allowed- April 23, 2005 David Stern wants to raise the NBA age minimum to 20.

There's No Time Like The National Pastime- April 23, 2005 Baseball left the nation's capital after the 1971 season. This effectively stripped me of my childhood -- well, actually, seeing portions of "Carnal Knowledge" already had done that -- and prompted me to glumly tell my best friend Victor Littman, "We'll never get another baseball team."http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A5382-2005Mar27.html?nav=rss_sports/columns/... Iced Hockey- April 23, 2005 Here's all you need to know about the sad state of the NHL: Last season Anaheim lost $28 million and this season -- if no games are played -- they will lose only $10 million.http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A14110-2005Jan16.html?nav=rss_sports/columns...
