The operators of FleetCenter in Boston decided it’d be a good idea to auction off single-day rights to rename the stadium and give the proceeds to charity. The winning entry? The Fark.com UFIA Arena… Course, the only proper thing to do is rename it The Boston Garden. [via]

Reggie Miller announces he is going to retire at the end of the NBA season. One of the last pure jumpshooters left the game looks set to hang them up after 18 seasons in Indianapolis and without a championship ring, Karl Malone could learn something from him…

It’s looks like Mark Jen has been “dooced” from Google after a matter of weeks due to comments in his blog. It’s times like this I’m glad I have very understanding bosses (who usually give me obscure links to blog about). Still, sucks to be sacked over the content of a blog. [via]

The “truth” comes out, Donovan McNabb was feeling sick during the Super Bowl. I would be throwing up if I screwed up that badly too, being sick ain’t no excuse!
