Fear not Pacers fans, it's now safe to take the paper bags off your heads. Last weekend Larry Legend finally wrote Obie a "Dear John" letter blaming all their marital problems on the oft-criticized coach.

For the fourth consecutive season, the Indiana Pacers are guaranteed a losing record. But despite their recent failings, the Pacers annually manage to win meaningless games late in the season, assuring themselves of a low-end lottery pick.
It drives Pacers fans mad. I should know, I live in Indy.

Last week, we touched on the Indiana Pacers', and more specifically Larry Bird's affinity for an endangered species - the caucasian American professional basketball player.
A month ago, Bird drafted North Carolina's Tyler Hansbrough to bring the team's white count to a league-leading six. (Jeff Foster, Troy Murphy, Travis Diener, Josh ...
