Sunday Good Reads

Maureen Dowd tells the story of Barack Obama bringing Jay Z into the race. God help us all.

ESPN’s John Hollinger gives us his own NBA playoff preview, and in the process predicts another championship for my beloved Boston Celtics.

Massachusetts Senator John Kerry and Pennsylvania Governor Ed Rendell gives us a he said/he said piece on who is the stronger general election candidate.

Jay Mariotti tells us the strange tale of the apparently imminent breakup between Brian Urlacher and the Chicago Bears. The Red Sox went through almost the same scenario with local hero Nomar Garciaparra a few years back. My solution? Trade Urlacher to the Patriots while we in New England pray his career continues on better than Nomar’s did.

Here we have the audience reacting to Gibson and Stephanopoulos at the conclusion of Wednesday’s debate on ABC.

The best female sportswriter in America, Jackie MacMullan, brings to life Boston slugger Manny Ramirez’s recent terrorizing of New York Yankee pitching. She gets some help from Manny himself, who chimes in with quotes like, “I don’t think much.”

Camille Paglia describes what it is like to be both female and an Obama supporter in Philadelphia on the eve of the Pennsylvania primary. And then she rips Hillary’s phony feminism.
