QUOTE OF THE DAY: "After winning the Kentucky Derby three weeks ago, Funny Cide won the Preakness today and will attempt to become the first gelding ever to win the Triple Crown three weeks from now at the Belmont Stakes. What's a gelding, you ask? Here's a hint: Doug Christie." -Jeremy Wahlman.
FIRST RUNNER-UP: "Actually, the man with the best chance of emerging as the star of this year's playoffs isn't even a player -- he's Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban, who's more fun to watch during the games than any of his players. He's wildly enthusiastic, filthy rich and completely accessible to the media. Cuban is proof that every once in a while the Wheel of Fortune lands on one of the frat boys in Delta House. Let me put it this way: When was the last time you saw Abe Pollin come to the games wearing a Black Sabbath T-shirt?" -Tony Kornheiser, the Washington Post.
