SAN ANTONIO | Two road games, two dysfunctional performances and another new low for the Washington Wizards. A night after getting run out of the gym by the Oklahoma City Thunder because of a sorry excuse for a defensive showing, the Wizards rode into San Antonio and actually did a decent job defending the hosting Spurs. But an ice cold offense crippled Washington in an 106-84 loss. On Friday, the...
I've decided to take Lauri's advice and stop being such a Negative Nancy. I'm going to calm down and not panic for at least another 10 games. Here's hoping for a win. Why the change in attitude, Cap? Well, it's my prerogative to change my mind (we females are tricky like that), and it's also my duty as a sports fan to overreact and go from the depths of depression to the heights of optimism.

TODAY Viking for a day What: Who doesn't want to don a horned "helm"? It hardly matters that historical evidence doesn't back the notion that Vikings wore horned helmets. Seems they actually wore basic, no-frills headgear in battle – although some were adorned with carved bird figures arcing toward each other, kind of horn-like. Nonetheless, we're sure there will be many of the mythical...
Some games of interest over that last couple of days. 1) Notre Dame got all it could handle from a (now) shorthanded Michigan State. It took Barlow's free throws to snag the win, 68-67. 2) Don't look now, but Providence, perennial-but-trying-to-end-their-role-as Big East basement resident, upset Hartford (which recently upset #19 Louisville), 66-59 . The Friars are now 3-0. 3) Clemson took Dawn Staley's...

The Monarchs on Friday ceased operations in Sacramento, though WNBA President Donna Orender is pressing to keep the...
Whose fault is it now? Who is going to have to take the brunt of the criticism for this 3-8 start? The Wizards had an easy target last season, placing the blame on their miserable start with a group of not-ready-for-prime-time players because Gilbert Arenas and Brendan Haywood, among others, were out with injuries. But on Friday night, the Wizards sent a veteran lineup, featuring their dream starting...
