1. DeShawn Stevenson is tattooing his jersey on his back. “It’s gonna be real nice,” he says. Um, OK. [D.C. Sports Bog]
2. The Incredible Hulk drops acid. [YouTube] (thx, Shoals)
3. Which teams will shock us all this season? Chris Clarke likes the Grizzlies, Warriors, ‘Cats and … Pacers!? Clarke: “[Indiana] is a pretty nice team that should make the playoffs in one of the low seeds. Jermaine O’Neal, when healthy, is an All-Star. Troy Murphy isn’t flashy, but he can play. […] Jamaal Tinsley might have an “up” season after a few down ones. Mike Dunleavy, Ike Diogu, and Marquis Daniels round out a pretty solid team … on paper. I’m not betting much on them, but I have some faith in Jim O’Brien. Just enough to say they’ll win more than 40 games.” [End of the Bench]
4. Three trade scenarios to bring Kobe to the Mavericks. A Josh Howard, Devin Harris, Damp and change package isn’t that bad, really. [Dallas News]
5. Steve Nash will lead the Phoenix Suns to their first NBA championship, the Raps will go 36-46, and D-Wade will win the MVP trophy averaging 31.6 ppg. What? This NBA Live 08 simulation tells me so. [The Canadian Press]

Video games in canada. Just when you thought you’ve seen it all…
I’m saying the Pacers should win 41 games…why? I just don’t see them, barring injuries, winning fewer games than last season (when they won 35 and almost made the playoffs)- a new coach, a full preseason and training camp together (that mid-season trade with the Warriors gave them a bunch of new guys who had to figure things out on the fly), and they play in a (admittedly strong) division that is virtually the same as last season. Chicago, Detroit and Cleveland are virtually no better than last season. I don’t hate Indiana. They might be watchable this season.
This is old…
But, did you see the Onion screwing with your boy?

It doesn’t work for Vince Young, and it doesn’t work for you, DeShawn.
