At the end of her forthcoming book, Going Rogue , Sarah Palin thanks, by name, the "bold and patriotic, fair and balanced media folks" who "mak[e] the idiots' heads spin": To some media professionals whom I admire because you don't let anyone tell you to sit down and shut up, please keep making the idiots' heads spin. Thanks for not taking our Freedom of the Press for granted,...

by Rich Pedroncelli - AP View full size photo » Already the hyenas invade. I have noticed a sincere uptick in "Tyreke Evans is not a point guard!" talk since Kevin Martin got injured, Beno Udrih got inserted into the starting line-up, and the Kings have gone on a 3-0 string. I actually received a thoughtful email from a reader a few days ago stating that the Kings should trade Martin...

If the tape truly tells the tale, Sean Harrington may have argued with an employee, but he never struck him. Still, Harrington spent more than 24 hours behind bars last week before he was charged with misdemeanor assault.

The signing of Ime Udoka , like the signing of Desmond Mason before it, portends little for the Sacramento Kings . Udoka, like Mason, is an aging defensive roleplayer whose a bit of a drain on offense at a position where the Kings have plenty of talent. Udoka turned 32 years old last August, having only three seasons of real NBA experience. He served as Portland's starting small forward in the halycon...

Hero: Shane Battier (HOU) -- +36 in a 17 point Houston win over Utah. In the 15 minutes Battier was off the floor, the Rockets were negative 19. Runner Up: Beno Udrih (SAC ) -- +27 in an 11 point OT win. Goat: Tyreke Evans (SAC) -- negative 16 in 24.5 minutes of play -- his team (the Sac Kings) won by 11 in OT. When they took him out and played Udrih at the point, they were much, much better. Runner...

Arco Arena has received plenty of attention for being old. Sure, the building needs to be replaced, but don't think that means things are falling apart inside and out. Those who show up for the Kings' 2009-10 home opener against the Memphis Grizzlies on Monday night will find new options to eat, drink and wear. If you can't make it to the sold-out Grizzlies game, don't fret. The Kings are offering...

SAN ANTONIO Even Spencer Hawes knew the numbers were deceiving. The Kings' third-year center had 22 points and 10 rebounds in a 113-94 loss to San Antonio on Saturday, but much of it came after the game was out of hand. Still, Hawes could use any kind of momentum at the moment. And this served as momentum. "Given the outcome, it's hard to look at my performance and be too excited about...

Yes, there's a Spurs game on Halloween night. No, we're not making any more references to the fact that it's Halloween. OK, that was a lie. GAME PREVIEW IS HERE Yeah, we're playing the Kings. The schedule makers couldn't have made a Halloween thread any easier. Any hack could do this. I mean, Burger King's already done all the work for me. However, the Spurs are doing their best to keep up. Just a...
