Since all else has failed, I see no reason for the Knicks not to sign Allen Iverson.

Vivek,
If you get a chance, check out my new piece on Murray-Cilic match and after-effects of Murray's loss in the ATP ranking, etc. It is a skeletal Game Recap plus a few other things, so don't expect too much in the artistic side, which is zero because I spent only 15 minutes.
"Andy Murray Stunned: Rafael Nadal Regains No. 2."
Thanks,
Xeno

Vivek,

The Red Sox have been miserable lately. Miserable. I'm already looking ahead to preview how Theo & Co. can fix up the team a little bit with this winter's free agent crop. As always I'd appreciate your feedback.

Vivek,

With the news of the past year that A Rod and Big Papi are on steroids, I've finally decided that enough is enough on the topic of the drugs. I have never seen a bigger double standard than the hero worship of the baseball greats from the 50's, 60's, and 70's and the vilification of the baseball greats from the 90's and today. As always, feedback is appreciated.

Vivek,

The Red Sox have been miserly lately. The pitching has been bad, but the offense has been worse. Theo needs to do something by 4 o'clock tomorrow. As always, feedback is appreciated.

My latest work is something I haven't done in awhile: giving a profile of one of the Red Sox' top prospects. As always, I'd love any feedback.
