On Wednesday the New York Knicks and free-agent guard Anthony Roberson agreed in principle to a two year contract.  The addition of another backcourt player increase the likelihood that the Knicks will look to part ways with point guard/backseat intern casanova Stephon Marbury.  Its a good thing Steph went with his sneaker logo rather than a Knicks emblem when making the choice for his new scalp tattoo.

The NFL announced it will be stepping up efforts to monitor gang related occurences, having experts analyze gametape for any players or team officials using suspected gang signals.  Blue and red, well known gang colors, are also rumored to be banned.  Sorry Giants fans, looks like pink and yellow in ’08 for your defending Super Bowl champs.

Yankees third baseman and media lightning rod Alex Rodriguez has once again come under scrutiny, this time for leaving the All-Star game shortly after he was replaced in the lineup.  To be fair though, post game traffic can be a real bitch, and he may have just been trying to get home to the wife and ki….. oh, wait.
