<b>Quote of the Day</b>
"It's not worth having a goal. It's a matter of when he's ready to go... Whenever we get him back, we get him back."
-Stan Van Gundy, Coach of Miami Heat, addressing the status of Shaq

<b>Gossip Banned from Colombian Town</b>
BOGOTA, Colombia (Reuters) - Bad-mouthing your neighbors can land you in jail in one Colombian town after the mayor banned gossip.
Ignacio Jimenez, mayor of Icononzo, southwest of Bogota, told El Tiempo newspaper he decreed the ban because loose tongues can cost lives in Colombia, which is in the grips of a guerrilla war involving Marxist rebels and far-right paramilitary outlaws.

<b>FAKE NEWS</b>
<b>FAKE QUOTE OF THE DAY</b>
“I admit that I may be overusing my starters a bit. That’s why from now on I’ll have them on a strict 230-pitch per game pitch count. Although Prior, Wood and Maddux might have to go a little bit over that when it’s cold outside. But they’re white, so they shouldn’t have any trouble in cold weather.”
Dusty Baker, Chicago Cubs manager, commenting on his oft-injured pitching staff
<b>FAKE ARTICLE OF THE DAY</b>
<b>Mark Cuban Blissfully Unaware that Mavs Think He’s a Dork</b>
Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban is reportedly completely and blissfully unaware that all of the Maverick players think he is a huge dork.
“Sure, it’s nice with all the perks he gives us and the enthusiasm he shows, but if he wasn’t the owner, I wouldn’t give him 10 seconds of my time. He’s so friggin’ annoying,” said Steve Nash.
“What a dork Cuban is,” said Dirk Nowitzki. “He’s like one of those guys who takes fantasy sports way too seriously, only he is really rich and can afford to own a team. He actually thinks we’re friends, but if he wasn’t paying my salary I’d stuff him in a locker.”
“My players love playing here and playing for me,” said Cuban. “We are like one big family and we consider each other friends. We would hang out together even if I wasn’t the owner and they weren’t my players.”
