		<title>Get Off Griffey&#8217;s Back</title>
		<description><![CDATA[By now, Ken Griffey Jr.&#8217;s historic 600th home run is old news. The storied and always hobbled centerfielder was going to nail the milestone sometime this season. It was obvious. But how can local and national media types actually discount the achievement when Griffey seemingly never took steroids or any other performance enhancer.

It&#8217;s preposterous to [...]]]></description>

		<title>Logano LoLoving Life</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Joe Gibbs has been salivating over this kid for years. Mark Martin even saw him coming more than three years ago. And that was when Joey Logano was 15.

Logano is the jewel that owners and crew chiefs seek throughout the rough that is this country. He&#8217;s young, fast and provides another hot commodity when the [...]]]></description>

Friday
NBA: Spurs at Lakers &#8212; One word: Kobe. Bryant displayed MVP-type patience during Wednesday&#8217;s Game 1 win Wednesday, waiting until the Lakers were down a supposed insurmountable amount until igniting. Then, he [...]]]></description>

		<title>Villains Welcome. NASCAR Needs One.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[All bones, guts and a sprinkle of dry sense of humor is Kyle Busch. He&#8217;s the perfect blend of a lanky kid with a win-or-wreck attitude, increasing his stock in NASCAR. He&#8217;s the prototype of what the sport lacks, and certainly needs.

Busch is the next villain in the drama that is Sprint Cup, whether he [...]]]></description>

		<title>Top Five</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So many clips, stories and happenings to choose from makes a good week. Here&#8217;s the best.

5 &#8212; Kasey Kahne. Sportswriters and commentators waited and waited for Kahne to come around last year, especially since he made the Chase in 2006. Once June hit, they waited. July, the same thing. Guess what they did in August? [...]]]></description>

		<title>Weekend Watching</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Another .500 week? The Gasman still has as much credibility as Matt Walsh. Overall, the Gasman has enlightened readers with a 13-14 overall record, which includes last week&#8217;s sub-par 3-3 posting. Hey, at least he got the NASCAR winner correct.

MLB: Mets at Yankees &#8212; The Subway Series rekindles its excitement for the final time at [...]]]></description>

It wasn&#8217;t the best week in sports. But there were some notable moments like the one above.

5 &#8212; Kobe Bryant. Did anyone catch the move the MVP performed Friday night in Utah? Bryant hop-stepped through traffic, tossed the ball off of the backboard and then slammed down a thunderous dunk in a loss to the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Donnie Walsh got his man. Not only a former NBA coach of the year, but the man. Sports Illustrated and the Boston Globe were the first to report early Saturday evening that the Knicks have agreed in principle with former Phoenix and NBA coach of the year coach Mike D&#8217;Antoni. The contract is reported to be a four-year, $24-million [...]]]></description>
