According to Stephen A. Smith the 76ers would trade A.I. to the Clippers in a heartbeat if they gave up Livingston and Maggette. As Clipper fan I find the trade intriguing but I don't think I'll do it.

GREAT F"N NEWS Not only is JLU coming to DVD this year, but the set is coming with both seasons 3 and 4 combined. So the whole Cadmus storyline will be in it. Leaving only the last 13 "legion of Doom" episodes to be collected. The release date is October 24th http://www.tvshowsondvd.com/newsitem.cfm?NewsID=6031 Also Batman Beyond set 2 will be out as well.

couldn't agree more It just piss me off that The US stayed home and played Morocco, Venezuela and Latvia, while Mexico went to Europe and played France and Netherlands. The US knew they were in the toughest group and did nothing to prepare for it.

Mike James signs with T-wolves for four years for the mid-level exception

Looks like the World Cup was a ratings success in the U.S.

Zidane's agent said that according to Zidane Materazzi said something "very serious", but wouldn't say exactly what. Some in the French media say that Materazzi told Zidane that his mom was a terrorist

No, its JL season 1 that the producers are not fond of

Speaking of the Bulls Their mascot, Benny the Bull was arrested for punching a police officer

My point was that if there had already been a really good Spiderman movie made in a previous decade then the current Spiderman movies wouldn't have done the same box office because of a "been there done that" effect Anyway I think there is one DC Character that can draw "Spiderman" huge if done correctly and that is GREEN LANTERN You could have the most visually appealing powers ever on screen Plus make it a space adventure with the Green Lantern Corps and the Guardians and Sci-Fi geeks will be going into a frenzy.

I was going to recommend the book myself, great stuff and it'd only three issues for those that they may be reluctant to pick it up Also check out Catwoman which is written by the same writer Will Pfeifer

Personally i would use "The Return of Superman" storyline, minus the four Supermen. Have Cyborg Superman and Mongul destroy a whole city and have Superman kick their asses all over the galaxy.

Taking the situation at that time Superman already did "Spiderman numbers" in 1978 and Batman did the same in 1989

Hornets continue to load up They have reached an agreement with Bobby Jackson There is also a rumor that P.J. Brown might be traded for Tyson Chandler

Great game between Mexico and Argentina 1-1 at the half

Did you read Gotham Central? Because in one issue there is a funny scene where Renee and Maggie's jaws drop when Starfire walks into the GCPD office

Round of 16 Bracket Germany Sweden Argentina Mexico Italy Australia Switzerland Ukraine England Ecuador Portugal Netherlands Brazil Ghana Spain France

Great to see the Aussies advance but what a debacle at the end by the ref He misses a blatant hand ball by a croatian player in the box Kewell was offside when he scored the goal A Croatian player got a second yellow card and wasn't thrown out ( He ended up getting a third yellow before finally being sent off) Anyway Bill Plaschke brought up a point that as a hispanic has been eating at me for awhile Where are the hispanic players on team USA? Seriously there has to be a young man out there from a Mexican or South American family that is really good at soccer, I live in L.A. and I have seen tons of latino kids that live and breath soccer and you are telling me there ain't one of these kids out there that has translated that passion to skill.
