D-West will get eight months of home detention with electric monitoring, two years of unsupervised probation, and 40 hours of community service. The deal will allow Delonte to attend practices and games for the Dead-Man-Walking post-Lebron Cavaliers. West had other problems last year — he missed practices and stepped out on the team for a while, and also had a domestic-violence complaint filed against him by his wife in October.
The sentence may have been stiff because of a perception that West was not forthcoming about what he was doing with the guns. Stay tuned on this one because there are chatters that West might be waived.

It seemed for every hail Mary, walk-off homer, and buzzer beater in 2011, the sports pages had a story on work stoppages, performance-enhancing drugs, or mind-boggling college-conference realignments.

The clock keeps ticking down toward the inevitable first Tasered-athlete fatality. The fact that it hasn't happened yet is just a statistical anomaly, because two things continue to occur with regularity: major-college and pro jocks keep getting Tasered in late-night incidents, while an unluckier group of ordinary non-jocks keep dying from police Taserings.

Moments after Adam Vinatieri's field goal split the uprights as the clock expired in the Louisiana Superdome on February 3, 2002, the streets of Boston were in bedlam. Drunk people dangled from trees and hung off lampposts. Motorists leaned on their horns. I saw a guy hug a cop
