...Duncan Is Really Good For all the whingeing about NBA players' bad behavior and bad fundamentals, it has some terrific teams that play hard and work together. Duncan, Tony Parker and the Spurs aren't fancy but they win; the same goes for the somewhat overrated Mavericks. The run-and-gun Suns should be even better now that Grant Hill is joining Steve Nash, Amare Stoudamare and Shaun Marion. Houston should be vastly improved as well, if Tracy McGrady and Yao Ming can stay upright. None of this is funny, but it's worth keeping in mind when people complain...

Lucchino, standing in Boston's champagne-splattered clubhouse, fended off all Yankee talk. "We aren't the old Yankees, new Yankees, anybody's Yankees," he says. "We ain't trying to be no Yankees...
...Those assurances notwithstanding, the Chadians aren't the only ones with grave reservations about the NGO's methods or motives. "Taking [children] out in that manner is, in my view, illegal and irresponsible," French Secretary of State on Foreign Affairs and Human Rights Rama Yade told the daily Le Parisien. Yade said she'd warned Zoe's Ark back in August of her concerns about its rumored adoption practices. And while Yade said French officials still don't have enough detail to be able to confirm or refute the charges of child trafficking, she suggested the NGO knew...
