CAN'T ANYBODY HERE PLAY THIS GAME?:
Hamilton didn't have a field day (Paul Harber, January 8, 2005, Boston Globe)
Richard Hamilton had no idea he set an NBA record Thursday night when his defending champion Detroit Pistons were thrashed at home by Memphis, 101-79.Hamilton became the first player in NBA history to lead his team in scoring without making a shot from the field. All 14 of his points came on free throws.

On the plus side, he did make all 14 of the free throws that he attempted.

If for no other reason than NHL games will cut down on the "World Series of Poker" reruns on ESPN2.
Posted by: jeff at January 8, 2005 2:36 PMThe reruns are annoying, because you know the results, but I can watch poker any time of the day or night.
