Sizzle
Matt Millen out » The guy who was as qualified to be an NFL GM as we are to be Olympic gymnasts (unless you’re China), is finally out with the Detroit Lions.
NL playoff race » The only way the Phillies, Mets or Brewers seem to be able to string together wins is when they are trailing in a race for the Wild Card or the East Division.

Fizzle
O.J.’s Trial » Detective Nordberg can’t stay out of the news, meaning everyone is forced to deal with his tired act another day too many.
Plaxico Burress » The Giants receiver gets his money, but can’t put his act together, getting suspended for a game for missing a team meeting.
Stephon Marbury » Note to Stephon: Knicks president Donnie Walsh is lying. The team doesn’t want you in camp. They don’t even want you in the same time zone.
