Tne Nets finally won their first game to move their record upwards to 1-18. But they still might be the most embarrassing story of the year to come out of New Jersey not involving an indictment.

How bad have the Nets been? Even Conan O’Brien has declined to joke about them, saying, “those poor fans have suffered enough.”

So the New Jersey Nets finally won their first game of the year to move to 1-18. Who’s more embarrassed, the Nets or the Charlotte Bobcats team they beat? Of course, both of them are very thankful this week for Tiger Woods.

Notre Dame decided not to go to a bowl game. Bummer, said absolutely no one not a past or present resident of South Bend.

A Unversity of Delaware graduate student going through some old documents discovered a previously unknown personal letter written by Thomas Jefferson. The letter was apparently discussing a possible appearance on the Larry King Show
