Why the King of the South Couldn't Save the Hawks and Other Happenings

The Atlanta Hawks lost in overtime to the Seattle Supersonics 113-112 despite the promise of being able to do the "shoulder lean" after the game during the post-game T.I. and Young Dro Concert. Presumably, Lil' Jon consoled the crowd with a few "Yeah"'s, "What!"'s and "Okay"'s from his courtside seat.

No. 8 Georgetown defeated Hartford 69-59 in their season opener. Go Hoyas!!

What the fuck is going in Miami? After defeating the Bears last week, the Miami Dolphins defeated another quality opponent in the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday.

The Cincinati Bengals lost in horrific fashion to the San Diego Chargers 49-41. I hope you took the over on the points.

In another episode of the No Fun League, NY Giants running back Brandon Jacobs celebrated a touchdown (during the Giants ultimate defeat by the Bears) by putting the ball under his jersey as an ode to his pregnant wife. After some teammates came over to help him in the celebration, he was promptly cited 15 yards for excessive celebration. But John Madden did have a good time saying, "the ode", "the ode" over and over again.

Atlanta resident Evander Holyfield was successful in his comeback bid with a unanimous decision against Fres Oquendo. Though Holyfield was the old man in the ring, Holyfield blamed Oquendo for the fight being boring. Still, Holyfield may be able to now get a license in a state other than Texas.

Real life Kazakhastan native Wladimir Klitschko retained his heavyweight boxing belt with a TKO.

Laila Ali was successful in her fight. It's not her fault that she's one of the few highlights in boxing these days, but HBO refuses to give her any shine, citing some bogus excuse about the quality of women's boxing.

Lap dancing was banned in Las Vegas.
