The New York Daily News is reporting that the Nets have interest in bringing back Kenyon Martin.  The hold up -- money, of course.  Kenyon's deal isn't going to be the easiest to get rid of.

Every time another team expresses interest in Martin the Nuggets have to breath a little easier.  He's banged up and overpaid making him perfect for the Knicks, but other teams have been reluctant when it comes to the Nuggets bad boy.  However, with each team that shows interest, real or not, a market is created making a trade this off season likely.

George Karl says he's going to try and call Kenyon's cell phone in the next couple of days.  Don't count on Kenyon picking up the call.  I'm pretty sure he's got caller ID.

The NHL's worst nightmare is upon them.  If you haven't noticed, the four teams remaining in the playoffs -- Edmonton, Anaheim, Buffalo, and Carolina -- are not exactly located in the biggest media markets.  Whatever combination ends up in the finals is bad for the league and even worse for NBC. 

This just in... the Rockies are good and fun to watch.  I didn't think that was possible. 

Speaking of the Rockies, if you haven't watched a game this year keep your eye on utility infielder Jamey Carroll.  Every team needs a guy like this.  Plays multiple positions and never takes a play off. 

Jake Plummer's got nothing to worry about -- at least for another couple of season.  Bradlee Van Pelt on the other hand...

By the way, did you see BVP last week.  Dude went "Full Metal Jacket" with his hair, and started dropping lines about growing up and acting like a professional.  Nothing like a little competition to scare you straight.

Barbaro is recovering after undergoing life-threatening surgery.  His doctor, trainer, and owners all have referenced his "will to live."  I'd fight to stay alive too if the rest of my life consisted of being put out to stud. 

Don't forget to set your Tivo.  Crush taking on the Rush Sunday afternoon.  Throw out the record books... oh forget it!
