Vince McMahon and NBC will have a lot of thinking to do over the next few months. The controversial billionaire and the uncontroversial multi-billion dollar conglomerate will have to come to terms with the loss of 35 million dollars, but more importantly, the disappointment of the XFL's failure, the end of "the end of pansy football."

Some are born great, and others achieve greatness, but few are born with greater expectations than I-Perfection Harris, one of America's brightest young athletes.

Yes, you probably hated them for much of their reign on the top, but the Dallas Cowboys were definitely America's Team during the mid-1990s. Perhaps capitalizing on their capture of the Presidential election, it seems that another Dallas team has the world realizing not to mess with Texas: this is America's Team 2, the Next Generation. The Dallas Mavericks have ascended at rapid speed to become one of the most exciting teams in the NBA, building their foundation on a collection of oddballs spurned long ago by other teams until the bizarre 30-something billionaire, Mark Cuban, took these soulful warriors under his wing.

It's no secret that relations between the United States and China, which have never been rosy, appear particularly strained in the aftermath of the this whole spy-plane incident. What could result from the surmounting tension between these two world powers? My fellow sports fans, prepare for a revival in American distance running! This is exactly the opportunity that we track and field aficionados have been waiting for - an opportunity to return to the nationalism that led American distance runners to unprecedented heights throughout the Cold War.

Watching the stoicism displayed by Tiger Woods en route to his unprecedented fourth straight major, the lack of excitement generated by the Yankees quest for their fourth straight Word Series championship, and the senseless bickering among the defending NBA champion Lakers has led me to one conclusion: as sports fans, we must extend our congratulations to the real champions of 2000-2001, the Duke Blue Devils.

Over the past decade New York sports teams have been accused of shamelessly buying World Championships (see: Yankees). Now while it is true that New York, being the metropolitan powerhouse that it is, can afford to spend more money on attracting athletes and keeping them, making New York teams the subjects of envy throughout the country, one's heart has got to go out to the New York Knicks.
