« The 4-1-1: Sports Stories Talked About Too Much »
1. Randy Johnson trade rumors [He'll be traded when he's traded.]
2. Lance Armstrong doping allegations [He'll test positive for blood doping when I test positive for athletic ability.]
3. Tiger Woods' "slump" [Sure, he hasn't won a major in a while, but I ask you to look at the world rankings: He's still #1.]
4. NASCAR drivers racing other circuits [Drivers have always done it, sometimes they get a little banged up, that's what separates auto racing from other sports.]
Not Blown Out of Proportion (yet): Marion Jones drug allegations [I am starting to disbelieve that she is clean, after C. J. Tucker's claims.]
Finally Dying Down: L. A. Lakers' offseason [When the only news is Vlade Divac's return to the Lakers, this story is officially over until the next season begins.]
So that's how I'll do my lists. The 4-1-1 will list 4 items, then 1 item in its own category, and 1 item that doesn't really belong in the category.
