A week later, the tape of the fight between the Indiana Pacers and the Detroit fans sticks with me like a bad dream. I am still stunned to watch Ron Artest bound over rows of courtside chairs to attack a fan

After a year of Men Behaving Badly (and one too-fast-to-be-true woman), Spygate barely made the list of most notable transgressions in sports. Compared with serial dopers, point shavers, dog killers, vandals, sexual harassers, and stripper-slammers, the Patriots' playing at Candid Camera was a mere naughty-naughty.

He was the dumbest guy in New England. Terry Fran-coma. Gomer Pyle in the dugout. Chewing that giant wad of stuff, making it look like he had a golf ball in his cheek. Not bunting. Not playing smallball. And taking the blame for every mistake his players made.
