      Davis pulls an Artest Lite

      January 19, 2006 /

      Knicks forward Antonio Davis climbed into the stands Wednesday, but not to beat innocent fans.

      “I saw my wife being threatened,” Davis said in a statement released immediately after the game. “I felt I had to act. I did not have enough time to alert security.” Davis did not elaborate on why he ascended about 10 rows of seats to reach his wife in the stands. There was no physical confrontation after he got there, but several people were pointing and shouting for a few moments before security arrived and Davis was ejected.

      I’m sure this move raised a few thousand eyebrows in the United Center, but I have no problem with his explanation. In fact, it’s refreshing to see a professional athlete have this type of concern for another human being.

      The Knicks lost to the Bulls in overtime, 106-104.

      Duke outlasts N.C. State

      January 18, 2006 /

      Poor Herb Sendeck. He’s one of the most underrated coaches in the country, having led the usually outmatched Wolfpack to three consecutive NCAA appearances. Unfortunately, he’s 3-21 against Duke. Tonight he took is team into Durham and they played the Blue Devils nose to nose for 35 minutes, only to lose, 81-68. The game was much closer than the score would indicate. The key moment in the game came with just under five minutes to play. Sean Dockery was fouled while making a three-point shot, then rebounded his own missed free throw and found Lee Melchionni for another trey. The Blue Devils eventually grew the lead to 13 by taking care of the ball and hitting their free throws.

      Sophomore center Cedric Simmons played an outstanding game, leading the Wolfpack (14-3) with 28 points, nine rebounds and seven blocks. J.J. Redick scored 28 points for the Blue Devils (17-0) while also dishing out six assists.

      The official Steelers/Broncos smack talk thread

      January 16, 2006 /

      The AFC Championship features another great matchup. The Broncos had to be happy to learn that they’d be hosting the title game instead of traveling to Indiana, but they can’t be happy about playing a Pittsburgh team that is on fire right now. Will Ferrell-er-Ben Roethlisberger is throwing the ball like a champ, but he did appear to have difficulty with his accuracy after taking a big hit in the second half of the Colts game.

      The Broncos have a big advantage playing at home and if (which is a BIG if) they can get their running game going they should be able to control the game. I’m holding off making my pick for this game until later in the week – who do you think will win?

      The official Panthers/Seahawks smack talk thread

      January 16, 2006 /

      This should be a great game. The two hottest teams in the NFC squaring off for the right to represent the conference in the Super Bowl. Carolina is playing good defense and no one seems to be able to stop (or even contain) Steve Smith, who has established himself as one of the best – if not the best – WRs in the league.

      Shaun Alexander missed most of the game against the Redskins with a concussion, but Seattle expects him to play. Julius Peppers plans to play through his shoulder injury, but the real question is how effective can he be? Carolina had a tough time pressuring Rex Grossman when Peppers was out of the lineup, and I don’t expect it to be any easier against the Seahawks.

      I’m holding off until later in the week to make my pick. So who do you think is going to win?
