Imagine, if you will, the plight of Orlando Magic fan and new Glen "Big Baby" Davis antagonist Ernest Provetti and his 12-year-old son, Nicholas. The pair took in Sunday night's Magic-Celtics game from courtside seats. They felt the breeze of sprinting players blow across their faces as the two teams battled it out for four quarters of play.

Pats coach Bill Belichick was so determined to give defeated Jets coach Eric Mangini a hug that he barreled his way through a horde of photographers, brutally shoving some poor guy out of the way, just to deliver that hug in person. Now, on to the Chargers, and LaDainian Tomlinson better...
