It's no secret that Gary Siplin is Florida's worst Republican. Siplin won yesterday's primary with a group of backers that would make any Republican proud. A school-voucher group called All Children Matter had fired back with ads financed in part by the DeVos family, which owns the Orlando Magic, and the heirs to Wal-Mart founder Sam Walton, who chastised Woodard for being a registered Republican until...

File photo by Chuck Burton, the Associated Press Best birthday wishes to Magic head coach Stan Van Gundy, who turns 48 today. In his first year with Orlando, The Man guided the Magic to their third-highest win total in franchise history, all without wearing a tie . I've yet to meet a single Magic fan who doesn't like him.

This ladies tank-top , adorned with real Swarovski crystals (?!), gives us a sneak-peak at what the Magic's new wordmark will be. We had seen it leaked before -- it's shown up on more than a few mock-ups of what the new jersey may look like -- but this tank confirms it. We also get to see the number font. So much for going back to the original one.

Monday morning, Steve Kyler of HoopsWorld reported the Magic are basically finished making moves this summer . A rumored Tony-Battie-for-Nick-Collison swap isn't happening, his sources assured him. Damn. Collison's the tough, rebound-centric forward the Magic need. I suppose they value Battie's defense more than they would Collison's work on the glass. Either that, or they love Tony too much to banish...
