Good question. Someone answer, quickly please, games coming up soon.

In game 6 Fischer played the Queen's Gambit for the first time in his life. The game continued in the Tartakover Variation, a line which Spassky had never lost, and ended in a brilliant win for White. After the game Spassky joined the 1500 spectators in applauding his opponent. 'Did you see that? That was class.', Fischer said later of Spassky's show of applause.



(oh yeah ... you might think that I would include a game recap that matches the quote above. you'd be wrong.)

Ridiculous because in a year Oden will be swimming in groupies and mashing faces in the low post. But right now he's making blog posts with titles like THE DEPRESSION.

It's my site; I can do that. Three giant scribbles based on gnostic interpretation of Sportscenter highlights? Boom.

Riiiight.

It's a New York story, and it's beautiful.

This is mega old news but it's the best athlete's blog I've ever seen, by far.

Unfortunately, right on. But don't come telling me that "Duncan's all-around brilliance" is somehow exciting to watch for anyone other than Spurs fans.

We live in a golden age of sports video. Check how God accelerates into the lane on that last dunk.

"This had nothing to do with poor attitudes, or lack of effort, or lack of team unity… none of those things that get unfairly applied to NBA players. The fact of the matter is that the Greeks play with a continuity and intelligence that takes literally years for a team to develop, and that they had better fundamentals. And it was just proven, beyond any doubt, that you can’t put an all-star team together and make up for that difference, no matter how talented those all-stars are, in three or four weeks. You just can’t."

Metafilter covers the stage win. The NYTimes Magazine covers his busted hip.

• "But today I thought, 'I could at least show them that I could keep fighting'."
• "It was like an old-time attack. Like Merckx."
• "I came here to win the Tour and that's what I still want to do, and I'm not done fighting yet."

Oh, and the Times daily coverage sucks.
