Funny how you won't here anything about this on ESPN or the papers in Vegas.

My apologies if this has been posted.

What was the story about one of the hotels' glass walkways crashing down?

Bill Simmons wrote an interesting account of how bad it was in his most recent column. You can look at it here: http://sports.espn.go.com/espn/page2/story?page=simmons/070220

Basketball is in big trouble. ESPN can't hide this, and brawls at games are becoming common. Who wants a ringside seat if you might get killed? The WNBA is trying to make it with an almost entirely lesbian audience, and the NBA might have to try and make it with a predominantly hip-hop crowd.

As far as it being a disaster in the Quarter in New Orleans, it won't actually be that much different from any weekend there, but the cameras might get some nationwide exposure.

ESPN tries to fall all over themselves lamenting about racism, but they refuse to address the thug-ism that seems prevalent in the NBA and is going to ruin the NFL if it goes unchecked. Sooner or later they're going to have to deal with it. Or at least acknowledge it, for starters.

Huh? I was listening to ESPN radio on Sunday and the guy was talking about how well-behaved everyone was in that land of temptation. I guess it went down hill after 2 PM.

Funny how they keep saying there were few cops around - normally the Strip is pretty well policed (accusations are often made that it is the only part of Vegas that is). Wonder if the Department didn't want any Rodney King incidents with the cream of the hip-hop world in town and sent down the "hands-off" order? Dumb decision if they did - may have cost the city any chance at an NBA team.

Tony Bruno was all over this article on his show this morning, and he made the point that only a black columnist could have written this and got away with it.

The NBA is beyond help now, and the NFL will be so within a decade.
