The Bald Truth
My vote for the most ridiculous story of the year: Allen Iverson's make-believe retirement.
The guy releases a statement - through Steven A. Smith, for cripe's sake - saying that he's still a great basketball player but that he's retiring for now basically because no NBA team will start him, coddle him, pay him big bucks and make him the focal part of its offense.
That's not a retirement. That's a national pout.
Jeesh. If Iverson isn't careful, the Broncos will trade him to the Bears.
Iverson's "retirement," Chicago Old Sox & Alabama's escape

Turn Way Back the Clock
First Omar Vizquel. Next, Andruw Jones. And now, word is that Kenny Williams has ordered the White Sox clubhouse guys to dig Minnie Minoso's uniform out of mothballs.
Ladies and gentlemen, your Chicago Support Hose!
The Balder Truth
Losing to Northwestern, the only major-conference school never to go to the NCAAs and a team without its best player? Very nice of Notre Dame hoopsters to temporarily take the heat off Charlie Weis, Jimmy Clausen and the Flailing Irish footballers.
The Quote
"How would Cincinnati do in the Big Ten? Just like everybody else in the Big Ten. They beat Illinois." - ESPN basketball analyst Doug Gottleib while watching highlights of the Illini football team getting routed by the Bearcats.
THE BALDEST TRUTH
For weeks, there were so many embarrassingly pathetic officiating calls in SEC games involving Florida and Alabama that there seemed to be a conspiracy to make sure those teams would meet in the conference title game.
After watching the way Auburn mismanaged the clock down the stretch Friday in its come-from-ahead loss to 'Bama, one had to wonder if the Tigers weren't in on the conspiracy, too.
Wait ... tick tick tick ... I think Auburn ... tick tick tick ... called one more ... tick tick tick ... run up the middle.
Seriously, I'm not a conspiracy-theory kind of guy. There's always a logical explanation for stuff, and here's mine for this situation:
Tigers coach Gene Chizik thought his team was ahead and simply was trying to run out the clock.
Yeah, that's gotta be it.
