This space has decided that the only good possible outcome of the giant fight at the Pacers-Pistons game in Detroit last week is that the NBA's principals might decide that enough was enough and just close up shop. In other words, for the NBA to cease to exist. There really hasn't been much point in caring about professional basketball in at least ten years, given the absence of offense and rules, not to mention the long-standing illegality of any even remotely interesting defense. The NBA serves nowadays only to take up valuable seconds of SportCenter that could be better spent on curling or bass fishing or something. Alas.

Emmett has been pronouncing the catastrophic collapse of the dollar to be around the next corner for at least five years or so, and now, for the very same reasons, so is the chief economist at Morgan Stanley (from here). (Funny parenthetical note about the Herald article: of the article's 32 paragraphs, just two contain more than one sentence—and those two each contain two sentences. A third paragraph consists of two one-word sentence fragments. Who the hell reads this thing?)
