Colt McCoy was a mess. His right thumbnail was ready to fall off, a nagging cold was wearing him down and Oklahoma was confusing him with blitzes he'd never seen.
Nikolay Davydenko produced a fine comeback to stun second seed Novak Djokovic and set up a showdown with Rafael Nadal in Sunday's Shanghai Masters final.
The are at least three questions that will define the Charlotte Bobcats season. The first is how long can Head Coach Larry Brown control in wanderlust? The second is, can this rebuilt team finally start to win? The last question will how the proposed sale of this team will distract it during the season. This will be Brown's second season with the Bobcats, but he return with only four players who began the 2008-09 season with him. This team has undergone a major roster overhaul that has many feeling optimistic for the coming NBA season.
The Los Angeles Clippers are one of those teams that always find a way to lose, rather than a way to win. They are one of the most hapless NBA team ever, and after winning just 19 games last season there may not be any reason to believe that the Clippers will ever get it right.

However that may be part of the leagues overall plan, as they look just to survive their first season and grow come season number two. The league may not want a lot of attention right now, as it has just four teams, it hasn't fully implemented their rule book, and they are striving to build a nitch audience. The only question seems to be if not is paying the UFL any attention, how could it survive?
No punches were thrown. And neither bit off the other's ear. Mutual praise and admiration dominated during a face-to-face meeting Friday between former world champion boxers Mike Tyson and Evander Holyfield on a live episode of "The Oprah Winfrey Show." On June 28, 1997, at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, Tyson was disqualified after biting off part of ...
